Bush Will Veto Dems' Housing Bill

President Bush said today that he would veto the Democratic housing bill being worked on in the House of Representatives. Bush claims the bill would unfairly bail out "speculators and lenders," the Washington Post reports. "I will veto the bill that's moving through the House today if it makes it to my desk," he promised.

"I urge members on both sides of the aisle to focus on a good piece of legislation that is being sponsored by Republican members," Bush said after meeting with congressional GOP leaders. Rep. Barney Frank and Sen. Chris Dodd, both Democrats, have been taking the lead on pushing the current plan through Congress. (More George W. Bush stories.)
