Health Care of Poor Children Not a Bush Priority

The President snuck off to his office a few weeks ago with absolutely no TV cameras or photgraphers to record the incident and vetoed legislation that would have provided medical insurance, and thus, medical care to millions of poor children across these United States. Never mind that the President’s own health care will be paid for by taxpayers for the rest of his life, free of charge. Never mind that not a single one of those children he denied medical coverage to did anything wrong, except perhaps be born of parents who lacked financial resources to pay for their medical care. It’s a sad commentary on the condition of this Presidency that within weeks of seeking billions to keep killing in Iraq, the President decided the health of a few million American children wasn’t worth protecting.
