Bizarrrely, TSA has glossed over any sort of policy agenda and spent the majority of this speech viciously attacking John Kerry. That's not very presidential.

I have heard voters all across the country yearning for a new politics of ideas and debate to replace our current system of vitriol and scorn. Instead, Bush makes gotcha and one-liners the centerpiece of his re-election campaign.

Frankly, I don't think it's going to work. I don't think America wants a President who only feels good when he's picking on the smaller kids.
