2nd week in a row, Bush "Radio Address" is an anti-Kerry campaign ad
http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2004/10/20041016-1.html

THE PRESIDENT: Good morning. Over the past four years, I have brought a straightforward approach to the presidency. I tell you what I'm going to do, and I keep my word. When I came into office four years ago, the economy was sliding into recession. Then terrorist attacks cost our nation nearly a million jobs in three months. To help families and to get this economy growing again, I pledged to reduce taxes, and I kept my word.

Now the results are clear. Over the last three years, America's economy has grown at the fastest rate of any major industrialized nation. The home ownership rate is at an all-time high, and we have added more than 1.9 million new jobs in the past 13 months.

My opponent has a different approach. Over the last 20 years, he has voted to raise taxes 98 times. Now he is promising over $2.2 trillion in new spending, and paying for it would require broad tax increases on small businesses and the middle class. I have a better plan. I will continue to be wise with taxpayers' money and I will keep your taxes low. When I came into office, too many of our children were shuffled through school without learning the basics. I pledged to restore accountability and end the soft bigotry of low expectations. And I kept my word. Now our children are making sustained progress in reading and math, and we are closing the achievement gap for minority students.

My opponent has pledged to weaken the No Child Left Behind Act. His proposals would undermine the accountability we worked so hard to pass. I have a better plan. We will keep demanding results for all our children, and we will leave no child behind.

etc. etc. etc. etc. etc.

:puke:

1. Man, that guy just has nothing better to do with his time...
...and no record to speak of. It's just 'attack-attack-attack', what a boorish clod.
