Subject: Bush thanks McCain for support of bill they both opposed

sorry for the Huffington Post link, but I doubt you'll see this little fact mentioned by a news network

BUSH: The bill is a result of close collaboration between my administration and members of both parties on Capitol Hill. I appreciate the hard work of my cabinet, especially the leaders of Defense and State and Veterans' Affairs and Office of National Drug Control Policy, as well as OMB. I want to thank House and Senate leadership and leaders of the House and Senate Appropriations Committees. I am particularly grateful to Congressmen Boehner, Hoyer, Obey and Lewis. I want to thank members who worked hard for the G.I. Bill expansion, especially Senators Webb and Warner, Graham, Byrd, and McCain. This bill shows the American people that even in an election year, Republicans and Democrats can come together to stand behind our troops and their families.
this bill was passed with a veto proof margin because Bush opposes it. Now he wants credit for it, and thanks McCain who also opposed the bill.
