Two statements stood out in today's New York Times endorsement (no surprise) of John Kerry for President of the United States. The Times lauded Kerry's lifelong dedication to public service & his "willingnessness to re-evaluate decisions when conditions change." But these lines caught my eye:
"The president who lost the popular vote got a real mandate on Sept. 11, 2001. With the grieving country united behind him, Mr. Bush had an unparalleled opportunity to ask for almost any shared sacrifice. The only limit was his imagination. He asked for another tax cut and the war against Iraq."
"The Bush White House has always given us the worst aspects of the American right without any of the advantages. We get the radical goals but not the efficient management."
