House Speaker Nancy Pelosi says she spoke with President Bush today about the children's health care bill which he vows to veto -- the bill that passed the Senate this week by 67-29 and the House by 265-159, and which House and Senate leaders enrolled today.

"I told him he was in my prayers,'' Pelosi (D-Calif.) said of the president.

...

In her talk with the president, Pelosi said, she called on him to reconsider his veto threat and asked him: "Is he prepared to be the decider as to which children have (insurance) and which do not?''

This is what Bush told Pelosi: "He said, 'I like people who don’t give up.'''

"I said, I know,'' Pelosi said.

Bush appreciated the call, according to White House Press Secretary Dana Perino, but "the president has been very clear for months that if the bill came to him in its current form, that he would veto it. That is his intention. And I don't see any changing of the minds there.''

To do otherwise exposes her own weakness.
