Bush:"Cheney can be president"& that's part of problem-per Democratic Team
"Dick Cheney can be president," Bush declared, and Kerry suggested that was part of the problem.

Kerry, Edwards Show Off Democratic Team

Wed Jul 7, 5:51 PM ET By Patricia Wilson

CLEVELAND (Reuters) - Democrats John Kerry and John Edwards campaigned together for the first time on Wednesday and declared themselves advocates for ordinary Americans squeezed by President Bush 's economic policies.

In front of a huge banner proclaiming: "Kerry and Edwards: A New Team for a New America," the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee told thousands of supporters he and his newly minted running mate were America's "dream team."

"We've got better vision, better ideas, real plans, we've got a better sense of what's happening to America and we've got better hair," Kerry said, a reference to the well-coiffed Democratic team.

Edwards, a former rival for the nomination, reprised the "two Americas" theme of his primary campaign, blaming the White House for "the middle-class squeeze" and calling for "one America that works for everybody."

In Dayton, Ohio, Kerry shot back, saying Edwards had "more experience than George Bush and better judgment than he does when he became president of the United States." Bush was in his second term as governor of Texas when he won the White House.

"He (Bush) was right that Dick Cheney was ready to take over on day one -- and he did, and he has been ever since," Kerry said.

1. My My. Sounds like the gloves have come off. About time. The bush*
administration has been doing a good job of self-destructing to this point. Now it's time to push them over the edge.

2. They always walk right into it, don't they?
Too bad Bush wasn't ready to step into the presidency, or we might not have got Cheney.
