Lockhart Statement on "Major Speech"


Washington, DC – Kerry-Edwards campaign Senior Advisor Joe Lockhart released the following statement today on the president’s speech in New Jersey, which the Bush campaign has billed as a “major address:”

“What the Bush campaign considers to be a major address provides a telling window into this President and his priorities: He considers a nasty, vitriolic attack line to constitute a significant address. What might have been new and significant would have been the President addressing a health care crisis that has forced New Jersey to hold a lottery to decide who should get flu shots. But no, that would involve being straight with the American public and taking responsibility for his Administration’s inaction.”


Bush II is behaving much as Bush I did when he started calling Clinton/Gore "bozo and the ozone man."
