"Bitingly Personal" Bush: "Kerry too weak for wartime leadership"

SAGINAW, Mich. - Bitingly personal, President Bush called Sen. John Kerry too weak and wavering for wartime leadership Thursday while the Democrat held Bush responsible for missing explosives in Iraq. "The commander in chief is not getting his job done," Kerry said.



"The blunder should cost Bush his presidency, the challenger argued. The Republican incumbent fired back: "John Kerry is the wrong man for the wrong job at the wrong time."



Many voters, even in economically strapped battleground states, are judging the candidates on their ability to lead a nation at war. Thus, character is a final-hours issue. "A president cannot blow in the wind," Bush said in a stinging reference to Kerry. In neighboring Ohio, the four-term Massachusetts senator called on his rival to "start taking responsibility for the mistakes that you've made."



Bush's polling, which showed him making gains last weekend, flattened out this week, and aides blamed the missing weapons flap for stopping their boss' momentum. That was certainly Kerry's intention when he accused Bush of "shifting explanations" for the missing explosives. "Here's the bottom line — they're not where they are suppose to be," Kerry said, and then in a direct challenge to Bush. "You were warned to guard them. You didn't guard them. They're not secure."

I forget, which one went to Vietnam and led combat missions, and which one went to Alabama and didn't bother to show up...

War time leader, indeed!

Bush has been losing ground since the first debate. These writers toss in bullshit like this just to try and look "fair and balanced".
