What a crock... He wants more $$$ to fund a failing war but doesn't want to give a single penny for expanded healthcare for children.

There is more to it than that. If you recall the big stink the Dems made over his possible veto and then he veto'd the bill. Yet, the Dems said they would vote to overthrow the veto. That failed. The Dems saw the light. The Dems were just attempting to make Bush look bad for their own gain in the polls and getting good old Hillary in the white house. Recall Hillary's announcment of healthcare for all if she was elected that came out the same time this was happening? That failed also. If Bush was so bad in his thinking on this then why did congress not get the override on the veto? Because they knew it would create problems far greater than what the plan does now. If this program was expanded like they wanted it would have given the golden key to the crapper for employers not to have to assist in health benefits for their employees. It all would have fallen on the government. It would have opened the door to those that can afford health insurance and they would come into the program thus muddling the program for those that really need it. One needs to look at the total overall picture and not what the news likes to create, such as Bush does not care for kids and smear campaigns during political jockeying for the white house.
