more partisan bullshit from bush

Bush urges Congress to OK veterans bill

CRAWFORD, Texas - President Bush said Saturday that Congress' Democratic leaders should celebrate Veterans Day by finally passing a spending bill covering programs for veterans.

Bush's dig at Democrats didn't tell the whole story.

Congress has never delivered to Bush a veterans affairs spending bill by Veterans Day, even when Capitol Hill was run by Republicans. And even veterans' groups have been reluctant to criticize this year's Congress for the delay, because they are thankful for large budget increases already engineered by Democrats since they assumed the majority in January. They added $3.4 billion to the veterans' budget in February and $1.8 billion in May.

Bush has to out-and-out lie about everything because otherwise he would have to admit that the Dems have already done far more than the repugs have ever done for the veterans.

Wouldn't it be amazing to have a president who wasn't such a partisan asshole and would say, "hey, good job, guys" when things get done?!
