Kerry: We need a president who can do more than one thing at the same time
Kerry extols virtues of multi-tasking
Wed 20 October, 2004 02:38

"Let me tell you what the real test of this race is," Kerry said on Tuesday. "We need a president of the United States who can do more than one thing at the same time."

"We need a president who understands that not only do we need to do the job of being the head of state and commander in chief, but we need a president who also understands what it means ... to get the job done for the middle class in America," he said.

Kerry mocked Bush for complaining over and over in their first debate that the presidency and establishing security in Iraq was "hard work."

"I kept hearing the president say in that debate, 'it's hard work, it's hard work, it's hard work,'" Kerry said. "Well, Mr President, I'm very happy to relieve you of that hard work."

1. We Need A President That Can Walk and Chew Gum
I'm surprised Kerry didn't mention Bush as "The Vacation President."

We knows it's hard work, George. Unwind for a few years. You look beat.

2. That was Edwards's line from the primary debates. It was meant to address

Bush's BS argument that fighting terror was his excuse for not taking care of the economy, jobs and healthcare.

Fascism is all about using fear and telling people they don't deserve more because the government is keeping them from getting killed (meanwhile big businesses are using fear to make sure that they're getting everything that the people aren't getting). Sound familiar? Sounds like the US economy, doesn't it?
