Did any of you hear Kerry's radio address about 9/11 countering Chimp?

What did you think? EDIT: The link went to a different speech...I don't think they have it up yet, but here's link to C-Span in case they show it later.

Edited: I found a snip from "Times of India" with Google...

WASHINGTON: "Freedom will win," Democratic presidential hopeful John Kerry declared in a radio address on Saturday, as the United States marked the third anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks.

"On September 11 and the days that followed, we learned in the hardest way possible that the American spirit endures," Kerry said. "It is that spirit which leads us to defy the terrorists and affirm that freedom will win."

"It is that spirit which sustains the families of September 11 as they rebuild their lives. And it is that spirit which will guide us as we rebuild those towers, stronger, higher and more beautiful than ever before -- just like America."

"We are one America in our prayers for those who were taken from us on September 11 and for their families. And we are one America in our unbending determination to defend our country, to find and get the terrorists before they get us."

1. I heard it
It wasn't bad, not great. DEFINITELY BETTER THAN W's (obviously)

i wish he hadn't ended on a 'Thanks for listening' though, sounds a bit too casual.

6. Call me nuts but I kinda like
that he said.."Thanks for listening".. I didn't hear the speech but I heard Kerry the other night on "The Tom Joyner Show" and he was superb. He's really connecting with me.

I can just hear him say .."Thanks for listening".

website. I think there's a transcript, too.

http://www.c-span.org/

Here's a report in "Times of India." (But it's only a snip of his address) from Google Search.

WASHINGTON: "Freedom will win," Democratic presidential hopeful John Kerry declared in a radio address on Saturday, as the United States marked the third anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks.

"On September 11 and the days that followed, we learned in the hardest way possible that the American spirit endures," Kerry said. "It is that spirit which leads us to defy the terrorists and affirm that freedom will win."

"It is that spirit which sustains the families of September 11 as they rebuild their lives. And it is that spirit which will guide us as we rebuild those towers, stronger, higher and more beautiful than ever before -- just like America."

"We are one America in our prayers for those who were taken from us on September 11 and for their families. And we are one America in our unbending determination to defend our country, to find and get the terrorists before they get us."
