House fails to override Bush veto

During an hour-long debate before voting to override the Iraq spending bill veto, Speaker Nancy Pelosi (pictured) said:

The president has turned a tin ear to the wishes of the American people.

The president wants a blank check. The Congress will not give it to him.

But Rep. Jerry Lewis, R-Calif., urged his colleagues to sustain the veto, saying politicians should not make military decisions.

"Now is not the time for the United States to back down in its war on terror," Lewis said

Wonder what Senator Biden is saying now?
