congress and the president

Oct 11, 2007 23:51

Appar ently Bush vetoed a bill in congress meant to recognize the Armenian genocide during world war I as a genocide.  The reasoning....Turkey is a major ally in the "war on terror" and he doesn't want to piss them off.  It's lame, but I have to wonder if the bill was presented in the first place knowing Bush would veto it and look like a dumbass.  The congress had to know.  I don't even know if this was an official bill or what it was called.  I get my news from the Daily Show.  Fox news makes me yell at the TV and CNN has been bland lately.

On the other side of things, Bush is a dumbass for vetoing health care for poor children.  That's a bill that really should pass, and I hope they get enough Republicans to overturn the veto.
