Yahoo News: Gregoire responds to Bush's weekly radio

address.

How about helping the rating of this Yahoo piece to move on up just a little. It's now in the high 2s with about 338 votes cast. Gregoire was picked by the Democratic Governor's Association to respond to Bush.

snip:

Gregoire wished Bush well as he enters his second term, but then lit into him. Many of the states' gravest problems are a shared responsibility with Washington, D.C., but the federal government continues to let down the statehouses, she said.

1. I feel like Gregoire needs our support, every bit as much

as Barbara Boxer. They are both out there holding the line pretty
much by themselves...

2. With Pleasure!

"Gregoire cited homeland security, transportation, health care and education as areas where federal mandates are heaped on the states without a corresponding flow of money and help.


In the war on terror, she said, "Candidly, there is too much talk and too little action coming out of Washington, D.C.


"The federal government is imposing new security requirements on our cities and counties, without providing the necessary financial assistance to local law enforcement — cops and firefighters whose resources are already stretched too thin."

The Dems were smart to put up Gregoire..she is the new Governor of Washington who won a tight race..
