1. Can you elaborate slightly?.... Did Bush rescind his veto promise?

Because the House already passed the bill with a non veto proof margin, so whatever the Senate did, well, if Bush vetoes it's not a safe margin in and of itself. So... did Bush rescind his veto promise?

3. On CNN now...

"The Senate passes a children's health insurance bill by more than the two-thirds majority needed to overturn a threatened presidential veto."

9. 67 is the veto-proof number. WHY say 'more than'???

[bluestateguy]

11. Good for them. We have a bicameral legislature, and there is another chamber of Congress

And the House of Representatives did not clear the bill by a veto proof margin.

[Kagemusha]

14. Yes exactly.

If Bush vetoes, kids still go without insurance.

2. (a la Chris Crocker:) LEAVE BUSH ALONE!!

All he's trying to do is strip poor kids of health care and keep Big Tobacco in the green!

Seriously, folks, this Duck is more than lame--it's on life support...
