249,000 in poverty with Bush: 395,000 moved to middle class under Clinton


Pennsylvania has lost 70,000 jobs under Bush's watch, Clinton said, compared to the 219,000 gained "this time when that last fellow was president — me," he added.

The 249,000 people added to the poverty rolls since Bush took office, Clinton pointed out, contrast badly to the 395,000 who moved from poverty into the middle class the last time the country had a Democratic administration. He added that the Bush administration's plan for the next four years was "more of the same."

Earlier, Clinton dismissed concerns that his decision to campaign for Kerry seven weeks after undergoing heart surgery was risky.

"I think you know there's only so much anyone else can do in a campaign that he or she is not the candidate in," Clinton said in an interview Sunday with ABC News. "But I want to do this. Senator Kerry asked me to do it. And I want to do it."

1. So, for roughly every ton of high explosive..
Dub lost out of Al Qaqaa, Clinton moved someone into the middle-income bracket.

NOT a favorable trade on Dub's part, that's for sure!:eyes:
