Bush Calls for More Nuclear Plants… Kerry says Cut the Pork and Go Back to the Drawing Board
27 April 2005

As President Bush called for the construction of more nuclear plants today and touted the use of technology to ease America’s energy woes, John Kerry issued the a statement telling Bush to cut the pork-ladden energy bill and go back to the drawing board.

Senator John Kerry made the following statement today on gas prices and the president's energy plan:

"If President Bush were serious about our energy crisis, he would tell the Republican Congress to scrap his pork-laden energy plan, go back to the drawing board, and finally reduce America's dependence on foreign oil and get our energy prices under control once and for all. It's clear we need to diversify our energy sources so we don't have to go hat-in-hand to the Saudis again and again, but the Republican plan won't help the families, truckers, farmers and small businesses suffering from skyrocketing gas prices today."

The best Bush could offer today in the way of an answer for rising gas prices was a song and dance lament that he could not fix it (reminding us all of his “its hard work” lament)… “I wish I could,” he said, “If I could, I would.”

3. I've noted that he is speaking a little plainer these days...

...and I mean that in a good way. When Kerry cuts the nuance and just lays stuff right out, its effective.
