"Focus on the Poor Children"

President Bush vetoed a bill that would extend healthcare to children whose family could not afford it. He claimed that he would be open to compromise with Congress by spending more than the original bill had proposed. Bush said that he wanted "Republicans and Democrats to come together to support a bill that focuses on the poor." Democrats and Republicans alike seem to be unwilling to compromise on this issue. President Bush seems to be hoping for too much. He seems to be getting nothing accomplished because so many people in Congress disagree with him.
