Bush Extends Debate on Values to Children By PETE YOST, Associated Press Writer
WASHINGTON - President Bush (news - web sites) is extending the political debate over values by citing evidence that strong families and communities are developing responsibility and character in the nation's children.
Drug use and violent crime among teenagers have decreased dramatically, while children raised in households with married parents are less likely to live in poverty, the president said Saturday in his weekly radio address. He cited a newly issued government report to claim progress.
"My administration is acting to encourage teens to make healthy choices," Bush said.

The culture of America is changing from one that said, "if it feeds good, do it; and if you've got a problem, blame somebody else," Bush said, using language reminiscent of his recent campaign speeches.
The values debate is seen as energizing Bush's strongest supporters, particularly in Republican-leaning rural America.
