Bush Vetos Bill

In this article in bbc news, Bush vetos a bill for children's health care, The bill would but a higher tax on tobacco and get a proposed 35 million for health care for poor children.This article affects me because it affects me and some of my friends, but most importantly I am angered by this article because it shows that bush was not thinking about the true purpose of the bill,helping the children.If he never thinks or cares about whats best for the kids than that would make him a horrible president.Especially because the vote in the house of representatives was 265- 169. This is the third time that president bush has used his power to veto bills .Witch worries me that he is to cocky or he has something wrong with him that makes him want to disagree.Last, what I think is the worst thing is that he says he will work with democrats to create a compromise of only 5 million,about a sixth of what the original bill stated.If bush does this on every bill he sees America will be settling for something less forever.
