Press Releases Contact: Brendan Daly/Nadeam Elshami 202-226-7616 For Immediate Release 10/03/2007 Pelosi: ‘We Remain Committed to Making SCHIP Into Law—With or Without the President’s Support’
Washington, D.C.—Speaker Nancy Pelosi issued the following statement this morning after President Bush vetoed the Children’s Health Insurance Program legislation:
"Today the President had an opportunity to sign a bipartisan bill that will bring health care to 10 million children in families struggling to make ends meet. Instead, President Bush used his cruel veto pen to say ‘I forbid 10 million children from getting the health benefits they deserve.’
“Despite the President’s veto, we will continue to work with a bipartisan majority in Congress and 43 governors from across the country to increase support for SCHIP in the House so we can override the veto and provide 10 million children the health coverage they need and deserve.
“The President chose to block a bill with strong bipartisan consensus—which has so much potential for good—to force Congress to mount a veto override effort. We remain committed to making SCHIP into law—with or without the President’s support.”
facelifts for grannies campaign.......
“”Today the President had an opportunity to sign a bipartisan bill that will bring health care to 10 million children in families struggling to make ends meet.”
Um, Moonbat Madame Pelosi? People making $83,000 a year aren’t exactly struggling...unless of course their priorities are wrong.
And with or without the People’s support too.
This reads like Red Chinese propaganda.... Not like it came from the Speaker of the US House of Representatives.
Nancy Pelosi is a disgrace to the office -- shrill, vapid, and destructive.
They’re going to hit Bush and the Pubbies over the head on this...they wanted the issue, not the legislation.
The MSM will participate and many in the Mindless Middle will fall for it.
Pelosi's a 6th-grader with power. Only a mental midget could possibly take the current Democrat Leadership seriously.
I like Rush’s name for this program
“Bull-SCHIP”
“With or Without the President’s Support’”
So much for a government of checks and balances to represent all the American people.
It is their way or the highway.
Sent the White House and e-mail congratulating W on the Veto.
He needs to get out there and explain the details...most people are just going to hear...”the children, the children!” from the MSM.
No wonder Whoopi hit on her.
I am soooooo sick and tired of these lying sacks of excrement.....commies in drag.....
I guess the House will just have to SCHIP for themselves...
“Cruel” veto pen? LOL. Did Bush use a Sharpie or something.
I read today (somewhere) that Harry Reid’s personal approval rating is 3% while that of congress overall is 11%.
PJ O’Rourke: Liberalism is communism one spoonful at a time.
Today Pelosi used her cruel piehole to lie again and again.
So, everytime Nancy speaks, it will just be a bunch of SCHIP.
