HOW ABOUT HIRING JUST ONE GUY FOR WHOM IT'S NOT 9/10:
Democrat Kerry Slams Bush's 'Excuse Presidency' (Patricia Wilson, 9/15/04, Reuters)
Democratic candidate John Kerry unleashed a stinging indictment of President Bush's economic stewardship on Wednesday and urged his Republican rival to take responsibility instead of playing the victim."This president has created more excuses than jobs," Kerry said in a speech to the Detroit Economic Club.
Trailing in national polls seven weeks before the Nov. 2 election and heeding advisers who have urged him to be more forceful, Kerry said he was "taking the gloves off" in his presidential campaign battle with Bush.
He rejected the White House's "perfect storm" explanation that recession, war and the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks caused tepid economic performance in the United States.
Thousands of advisors, plus the entire Clinton team, and "excuse president" is the best they can come up with? Do they think that pretending 9/11 didn't happen will make it go away? Posted by Orrin Judd at September 15, 2004 3:30 PM
The Kerry team thinks that the recession, burst Tech Bubble, 9/11, two wars, and the diversion of tens of billions of dollars into non-capital spending, (Homeland Security, private security, air industry security), did not have an impact on the economy ?
My four year old niece has a better grasp of macroeconomics than the Kerry team does.

Give it until first week of October, when they roll out the 'nanny-nanny-boo-boo' theme.

Come on, be fair. Kerry is clearly doing his part to reduce unemployment by hiring 1000s of advisors.
He should challenge Bush to do the same.
