Kerry Attacks Bush's Economic Policies

http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&cid=694&ncid=703&e=1&u=/ap/20040217/ap_on_el_pr/democrats

WAUSAU, Wis. - A confident John Kerry (news - web sites) launched a full-throttle attack on President Bush (news - web sites)'s economic policies, mostly ignoring his Democratic rivals on the eve of the Wisconsin primary. Howard Dean (news - web sites)'s campaign shed another top manager and John Edwards (news - web sites) vowed to press on no matter how he fares Tuesday.

Kerry, who has a commanding lead in the race to oppose Bush this fall, chided the president for taking time out Sunday to attend the Daytona 500, saying the country was bleeding jobs while he posed for a "photo opportunity." Bush had donned a racing jacket to officially open NASCAR (news - web sites)'s most prestigious event in front of some 180,000 fans.

"We don't need a president who just says, `Gentlemen start your engines,'" Kerry said. "We need a president who says, `America, let's start our economy and put people back to work.'"

Kerry for the most part has chosen in recent days to aim his Campaign 2004 rhetoric directly at Bush as he has lapped his competitors, winning all but the South Carolina and Oklahoma delegate-selection contests.

5. And guess who picked up the tab for this photo op?

You and me. Yep, according to White House documents, this little Daytona trip was classified as "official White House bidness", which means Joe Taxpayer gets to pick up the tab.

Gentlemen, start your voting.
