Johnny’s Got His Groove Back
The Democratic presidential nominee blamed Bush for those lost jobs and more, along with a surge in poverty, “trillions” of dollars in new public debt, and higher prices for healthcare, gasoline, child care and tuition.
“I’m not saying that the president wanted these consequences,” Kerry told hundreds of Michigan business leaders at a Detroit Economic Club breakfast. “But I am saying that by his judgments, by his priorities, by the decisions he made, he has caused these things to happen — or to grow significantly worse. And he refuses to admit the error of those choices.”
The Massachusetts senator branded Bush’s White House tenure “the excuse presidency.”
“Never wrong, never responsible, never to blame,” Kerry said. “President Bush’s desk isn’t where the buck stops. It’s where the blame begins.”
The evidence that he’s a strong closer, the meme he can hammer (the ‘excuse’ presidency’) and the timing are converging perfectly.

I have never followed John Kerrys history until now. The things I have learned have convinced me that he will heal many of the wounds caused by the incompetent leadership of today. Anyone who wishes to can acess his story. I challenge the right to present a comparable story of Mr. Bush. I live in Japan but that will not prevent my vote from counting. PS I used to live in OHIO!! I hope my vote is the one that gives the state to Kerry.
