Today President Bush vetoed a bill that would increase the state health insurance program for children. The Democrats will try to override the veto, but if they can't it will put a cloud over presidential candidate, Hillary Clinton's health Plan. The presidential elections are coming up and Democratic voters will start to wonder if they're on the right team, if they can't even overcome the president on a bipartisan bill. They already can't change the war in Iraq.
Bush may appear to be somewhat of a goof, but I think this a deliberate attempt on his part to make this election process a little harder for the democrats. Why wouldn't He want the best for the American youth? That should come before everything else. He has spent way too much money fighting a war that his own country doesn't support. We don't even know why we're still in Iraq. It’s very frustrating to think that our own president would rather spend money on fighting than taking care of issues we have on home ground first. Yes, we are in a huge deficit. But let’s be honest, our country will always have that. There needs to be more compassion towards the American people and what we need. If Bush doesn't have that, then why is he our president? Isn't he supposed to represent us? How can I, as an American citizen, be proud of my country when I don't know if the man who is meant to lead us to a better tomorrow, is more concerned with war than his country's children? To be honest, I'm not. I'm not proud of our nation and our so called "democracy". I think that the hire powers have forgotten what this country stands for and needs to review the bill of rights. Our Founding Fathers would bow their heads in shame. This is not the America they fought so hard to keep. "Of the People, By the People, From the People." Remember that President Bush?

This is a very interesting post and I do agree that President Bush should not veto the child health care bill. However, how will Bush’s veto affect Hilary Clinton, who is a supporter of the health care bill. How will it put a cloud over her campaign? Here is a “compassionate conservative” who has led us into a war with Iraq in which no one longer supports, and how he has put the country in a national debt that we as Americans will have to deal with the rest of our lives. But I ask you, where is the compassion? Well quite frankly, there is none. He has disregarded other issues such as stem cell research, which is very useful because it may lead a way to beat cancer someday by using the cells from a dead fetus. I know it sounds depressing, but if you really look at it, it could change the world. Another thing that bothers me is the treatment of Veterans, how some veterans are becoming homeless and the government does nothing to help them. Some vets can’t even get jobs when they come home. These veterans served our country in the Vietnam and both world wars. How come they don’t get support from the Government. If President Bush is such a Christian and how he says that he was appointed by God, then why is he ignoring the homeless, ignoring children who are going to bed hungry at night and people who need support from the government. Jesus wouldn’t like the stuff that Bush is doing now because it is morally wrong and stupid. Besides that a few grammatical and spelling errors this is a pretty good post.
