Clark on SOTU: "bus fare, lunch, and coffee"
Reuters, "Democrats Say Bush Speech Slights Average Americans"

http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&cid=615&e=2&u=/nm/20040121/pl_nm/bush_speech_democrats_dc

A reaction from Wesley Clark that's almost as good as Ted Kennedy's non-verbal running commentary (but Kennedy took the crown):

"Clark said Bush will "spend billions on the war in Iraq, missile defense, and sending a man to Mars. But he's going to spend a grand total of $120 million for job training. That's just $15 for each unemployed American. That's not much more than the cost of bus fare to the training center, lunch, and coffee."

1. $15 per unemployed American. That sure puts it in perspective.
I hate this regime.
