Q on Bush's threat to veto original $87B bill

My question is why do I only hear about this here (on blogs), and not much in the media, or from the Kerry campaign? I know that Bush never formally came out and stated that he would veto the bill, but is the charge so difficult to support that it's not worth making? I mean, just making the accusation on flimsy evidence seems like a good move to me, yet it's not out there. Why?
