Kerry Steps Up Attacks on Bush Policies (washingtonpost.com)

"This administration is willing to do terrorism insurance for big industry, but they weren't willing to do unemployment compensation for people who are out of work," the senator from Massachusetts said a day after announcing he would form a presidential exploratory committee. "That's the big difference in how we approach the economy."

Funny, but I would swear that that bill got caught up in the still-Daschle-led Senate, not the White House. Maybe it was the White House where decorated veterans dump cheap imitations of their medals over the fence but pretend the medals are real even though they secretly treasure the originals like ambitious Gollums who wants to have it both ways.
