Bush Vetoes SCHIP



As expected, President Bush vetoed SCHIP this morning, and as expected, the Dems are demagoguing the issue.  From the WaPost:

Democrats began blasting Bush with the ink barely dry on the veto. "Today we learned that the same President who is willing to throw away a half trillion dollars in Iraq is unwilling to spend a small fraction of that amount to bring health care to American children," said Sen. Edward M. Kennedy (D-Mass.).
