Meant Well, Messed Up
http://www.nytimes.com/2004/07/29/opinion/29sorensen.html
Theodore C. Sorensen, a lawyer,was counsel, policy adviser and speechwriter for President John F. Kennedy.

<snip>

Only 96 days remain to take back our country from the most secretive, hypocritical and dangerous band of ideologues in our governmental history. Let no doubt remain; this is the most important election of our time. Either we take the road forward to national unity and international cooperation, or we fall further into despair, division and dangerous isolation.

Our nation cannot go on like this - squandering brave young lives and hundreds of billions of dollars on unnecessary war, losing old friends and creating new enemies, abandoning the middle class while making the rich richer and saddling our children with unsustainable debt and pollution.

<snip>
Mr. Bush, you meant well and tried your best. But by weakening our alliances, our economy, our national unity and global respect for our values, you have weakened our security. Too many American lives have been lost already and too many more are at increased risk. We can and must do better. We can restore our security, our economy and our global standing. I beseech thee, in the name of all we hold dear, go home before you do any more harm.
