Nice Goin', Genius

President George W. Bush hates children.

Our Man-In-Charge vetoed a health care bill that would cover about four million more poor Americans, mostly children. The empathy and loving kindness exuding from our executive branch is truly astounding. I live about four hours from D.C. and I can feel the love from here.

In the article linked above, a one-sentence paragraph is more telling than perhaps the Associated Press intended:

Bush vetoed the bill in private.

You see, Dubya's afraid that this exceptionally popular and successful (on its small scale) program takes us down a path toward un-privatized health care. So of course he had to veto the bill in private. To do so publicly would go against everything this great country stands for.

Jiminy Christmas.
