Sen. John Kerry on President Bush's Last State of the Union Address



WASHINGTON DC – Sen. John Kerry issued the following statement after President Bush’s State of the Union speech this evening:

“Tonight President Bush reminded America of eight years of opportunities squandered, a people divided, and precisely why there is so much hunger for change in our country. For millions who have seen their wages squeezed, their health care costs soar, their homes lost, their loved ones sent to fight in an endless war, and their country’s moral authority damaged, this should have been a speech aimed at a new beginning. Instead, they will have to wait for the next President to turn the page, unite our country, stabilize our economy, and at last get serious about the business of creating good jobs, restoring America’s credibility in the world, responsibly ending the war in Iraq, and rallying America to the great challenge of global climate change. Until then, I will continue to push for change that makes America stronger at home and in the world.”

1. very nice statement!

My favorite parts were the first sentence:
"eight years of opportunities squandered, a people divided, and precisely why there is so much hunger for change in our country."
and the last "I will continue to push for change that makes America stronger at home and in the world.”
Thanks for posting this

3. Very nice statement on why we need a Democrat in 2008.

Sad to think of the SOTU statement that should have been. He should have been the one at the podium.
