Like Treasury secretary O'Neill who was against the tax cuts and was asked to leave........after having sat in on meetings in 2000 where Iraq was the center of attention,attention that should have been given to keeping this country safe from terrorism.Terrorism we knew was close to home especially after first Trade Center bombings.

So now Kerry is chastising Bush for a paucity of flu vaccinations, vaccinations which were caused by the shutdown of a British company? The guy is a clown.

Kerry: Bush Knew About Flu Vaccine Shortage
Bush Administration Denies It Had Warning About Vaccine Trouble

ELYRIA, Ohio -- The presidential candidates lobbed charges at one another Saturday: President George W. Bush saying that his Democratic opponent "can run, but he can't hide;" and Sen. John Kerry accusing the Bush administration of knowing in advance about the flu vaccine shortage.

Kerry accused the Bush administration of misleading Americans about the shortage of flu vaccine this season.

Campaigning in Ohio Saturday, Kerry said the administration is "playing fast and loose" with the truth. Kerry added that officials have known there wouldn't be enough flu vaccine and only "pretended" to be surprised.

Kerry did not elaborate, but a Washington Post story said British health officials told their American counterparts in September about problems at a vaccine plant in northwest England. A Food and Drug Administration statement disputes that account.

The administration has denied it had any warning.

For his part, President George W. Bush drew loud cheers on the campaign trail Saturday, telling crowds his rival John Kerry can run, "but he cannot hide" from questions of credibility. The crowd joined the chorus as the president repeated the refrain at each campaign stop.

Bush's appearances included Iowa and Minnesota, two "must-win" states for Kerry that Bush could win this year.

Bush said Kerry has a credibility gap not only on Iraq, but also on health care and taxes. Bush said Kerry's claims on each issue don't match reality.

One bigun was Bush kept George Tenet on when he should have canned him the day after Inauguration. We would not have any slam dunks to live with and the Iraq question would have been settled with a different strategy.

If I were Bush, I wouldn't have been reticent to expose Tenet Friday night. He was a mistake from the beginning, caused by Bill Clinton.

Did you miss Bush saying he regretted some of his appointments. Duh.
