President Bush vetoed a water projects bill claiming it was too expensive. Congress voted to override the veto and they did so with an overwhelming majority.
What an amazing veto. In the last decade we have had damage never seen before inflicted on our nation by hurricanes. A major city was devastated like no American city had ever been devastated before. This bill would help fix up defenses against water damage. Expensive? Yes, for sure, but it's a heck of a lot less expensive to prevent damage than to do the repairs from damage.
His veto was very, very short-sighted and demonstrated a tremendous lack of research and comprehension on his part. He rarely fails to amaze me.

He continues to veto any bill that will help the American people because it is too expensive. But he pours billions into the war in Iraq, and now talks about a possible war with Iran. I can't wait until 11/08.
