Ted Kennedy: "Mr. President, what planet are you living on?"
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/4249283/

"In a report President Bush sent to Congress this week, he says sending jobs overseas is good for America and good for our economy," said Sen. Edward Kennedy, D-Mass.

"All I can say is, ‘Mr. President, what planet are you living on?’ Americans want and need good jobs to support their families — not in Asia or Europe or Latin America or Mars."

And as we all know, when the going gets tough, the tough go to the gym:

"As we overcome the recession and war and emergency, we better make sure we got a work force that’s prepared for the higher paying of the 21st century," Bush said during an informal discussion with students, education officials and others in the school’s gymnasium."

2. Hey! That's a line Edwards has been using for months.
Glad Ted Kennedy likes it too.

6. According to Time...
...Edwards and Kennedy are friends. Kennedy endorsed Kerry simply because it would be "bad form" to go against the other senator from your state, but Kennedy would really prefer Edwards as the nominee.

7. Kennedy prefers Edwards over Kerry?
Kerry is from Massachusetts and Kerry has supported Kennedy many times. Democrats support most the candidates...some more than others. Kennedy has not said, he prefers Edwards over Kerry.

3. Proof that Bush is out of touch
And out of the mainstream.

5. I think we've got the wrong Senator from Massachusetts...
...as the party's front-runner.
