Bush Turned His Back on Middle Class, Kerry Says
By Mark Egan

XENIA, Ohio (Reuters) - Democratic Sen. John Kerry tore into President Bush's economic record on Saturday and accused him of turning his back on millions of working Americans while pandering to the rich and powerful.


With just 17 days before the Nov. 2 presidential election, Kerry crossed Ohio on a bus in an effort to win a state crucial to both candidates.


"Mr. President, the millions of Americans who have lost jobs on your watch are not 'myths,' they are middle-class families -- and for four years, you've turned your back on them," Kerry told a town hall meeting at a high school.


Kerry was referring to remarks this week by Treasury Secretary John Snow, who said, "Claims like the one that Bush will be the first president to end a term with fewer jobs than when he started are nothing more than 'myths."'

1. No doubt about it.
Bush only considers the middle class 3 months before elections.
