Why is President Bush so heartless?

Why doesn't President Bush have a heart? How could he veto a healthcare bill that would have provided 10 million, poor children in America with the opportunity to get health insurance? 45 of his fellow Republicans voted for the bill, including 2/3rds of the Senate. Does he really care more about the financial wellbeing of Tobacco and Cigarette companies (his political donors) than the health of America’s children? The 35 billion dollars that would have funded the expansion, roughly what it costs to finance the Iraq war for three months, would have been paid for by smokers and nicotine addicts, not American tax dollars. If he can spend 2 trillion dollars on a war in Iraq, why can’t he work to help provide innocent children with insurance? To all you religious nut, far right Republican conservatives: Would Jesus have vetoed the bill, complaining that providing poor kids with healthcare would have financially hurt drug companies too much?
