Democratic leader presents rejuvenated political strategies during a visit to UCLA
Democratic Party Chairman Howard Dean speaks on campus Wednesday.
As elected chairman of the Democratic Nominating Committee and a frontrunner for the 2004 Democratic presidential nomination, Howard Dean has faced larger, more critical audiences – but Wednesday evening he spoke to a UCLA lecture hall filled with student supporters to its 227-person capacity.
According to Dean, the new agenda includes a stronger health care plan that will "benefit everybody in the country, just like 36 other countries have." Dean also mentioned more affordable higher education and more jobs that will stay within the country.
In his speech, Dean criticized President Bush's relations with nuclear nations like Iran and North Korea. In a statistical manner, he went on to criticize Bush's policies on abortion and the war in Iraq.
"Sixty percent of Americans believe it is immoral for the government to tell a women what to do about her reproductive health care. Fifty-six percent of Americans thought ... it was immoral to send our kids to die in Iraq," Dean said, followed by a series of cheers from the largely Democratic crowd.
He went on to call the Bush administration the "sorriest excuse for an administration ... ever."
To that I say "Amen". He is the sorriest excuse for a president anyone could imagine.
