Obama Statement on Bush Veto of Labor – HHS Bill
Tuesday, November 13, 2007
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Contact: Amy Brundage (Obama)
“Today’s veto is yet another example that this President is more interested in playing partisan politics than fighting for the interests of the American people. This bill makes long overdue investments in America’s future – including cancer research, nurse training, rural health, low-income heating assistance, special education, and job training programs. It’s time Washington starts to honor the priorities of our children, families and workers, and we must oppose this misguided and dangerous veto.”
