Bush Threatens Veto of Child Health Bill

This article is from the New York Times, and I believe it is an interesting article because it describes the struggle of a children’s health insurance to be renewed because its contract is going to expire on September 30th. Also there is a struggle between Bush and the Congressional Democrats. In a nutshell, President Bush believes renewing the program will help the poor beyond its original intent. The Congressional Democrats on the other hand, are trying to force President Bush into the uncomfortable position of vetoing a bill covering 10 million children before any spending bills reach his desk. They are casting the president as the compassionate conservative who forgot his compassion. You may find this article at the New York Times website.
