President Bush Gets First Place in the Denying Millions of Children Health Care Contest
White House Spokesperson, Dana Perino: "We won this round on SCHIP."
Congratulations on winning. What exactly did you win?
Well, here's President Bush, on vetoing SCHIP:
And that's why when I tell you I'm going to sprint to the finish, and finish this job strong, that's one way to ensure that I am relevant. That's one way to ensure that I'm in the process. And I intend to use the veto.
Wait- I thought the SCHIP debate was about a difference in "philosophy" and the role of government. But of course, it's really about Bush "winning" and retaining power. Pretty sad that 4 million kids have to be denied health care for such an awfully cynical reason.
