DETROIT - Sharpening his attack on President Bush and his domestic agenda, Democratic challenger John Kerry yesterday told a breakfast meeting of the Detroit Economic Club that "this President has created more excuses than jobs.''

"His is the excuse presidency. Never wrong, never responsible, never to blame," Mr. Kerry said. "President Bush's desk isn't where the buck stops. It's where the blame begins. He's blamed just about everyone but himself and his administration for America's economic problems."

More than 1,000 members of the club, which Michigan Gov. Jennifer Granholm acknowledged leans politically conservative, gave Mr. Kerry a cordial response for his remarks, which included a four-part economic plan the candidate said would be hallmarks of his economic agenda if elected.



* To reform the federal tax code to remove incentives for businesses to ship jobs overseas and to enforce existing trade agreements.

* To reform the energy and health-care insurance systems, with the government picking up the costs when medical expenses reach $50,000.

* To invest in the development of new technologies and in higher education for the next generation of workers, offering tax benefits of up to $4,000 per year for students to attend college or technical schools, or to be retrained for new work.

* To bring budgetary restraint to Capitol Hill, pushing to cut the deficit in half over four years to reduce the tax burden on Americans.

4. Kerry is really attacking Bu$h on issues and his performance in the WH.

Areas where Bu$h is clueless, and has utterly failed.

Actually, has any one single Bu$h policy done anything good for the country? I can't think of any.
