THANK YOU, Kerry!!

I've been worried, but this morning's quotes have made me elated:

From Kerry's economic speech (via http://www.dailykos.com):

"At that convention in New York the other week, President Bush talked about his ownership society. Well Mr. President, when it comes to your record, we agree - you own it."

"Of course, the President would have us believe that his record is the result of bad luck, not bad decisions. That he's faced the wrong circumstances, not made the wrong choices. In fact, this President has created more excuses than jobs. His is the Excuse Presidency: Never wrong, Never Responsible, Never to Blame. 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. And if he's missed you, don't worry - he's still got 48 days left until the election."

"We know the truth. George Bush's failed record is the result of George Bush's failed policies. And he chose time and again to do nothing to improve our economy or ease the burden on middle class families. In fact, nearly every choice has made it worse. You can even say that George Bush is proud of the fact that not even failure can cause him to change his mind. This is the man who promised his tax cuts would create 6 million new jobs. Today, three tax cuts later, we've lost a million -- seven million jobs short of his prediction. To George Bush, stubborn leadership is steady leadership. But as far as I'm concerned, George Bush's failures are the result of misplaced values and wrong choices that always give more and more to those with the most and tells the middle-class 'you are not the priority.'"

On Iraq (from Imus):

The sharper attacks included a swipe at the president’s decisions in Iraq. Kerry said Bush’s actions have made it harder for the next president to withdraw troops and argued that Bush should be under more pressure to develop his own withdrawal plan.

“What you ought to be doing, and what everybody in America ought to be doing today, is not asking me. They ought to be asking the president, what’s your plan?” Kerry told Imus. “What’s your plan, Mr. President, to stop these kids from being killed?”
