Democrats react in advance to State of the Union
WASHINGTON CC — In an effort to shift their strategy from offensive to “super-duper” offensive, Senate Democrats have distributed an internal “proactive response” memo recovered by a CC insider which reveals the Democratic Party’s response to the Presidents State of the Union Address to be made Tuesday evening.
Sen. Ted Kennedy, a Massachusetts Democrat, described the speech as "basically the same kind of rhetoric we've heard in the past."
Democratic Rep. Jane Harman of California, an intelligence committee member, said there were "big gaps" when it came to explaining why weapons of mass destruction were not found in Iraq.
Illinois Democratic congressman Rahm Emanuel said. "His speech was long on rhetoric and short on resources."
Sen. John Kerry said the Bush administration has failed to create new jobs. "A lot of people have even left the market and aren't measured anymore as the unemployed because they're not trying to find jobs. I don't think the president laid the agenda that gets America moving again tonight."
"Hardworking Americans will see through this president's effort to wrap his radical agenda with a compassionate ribbon," former Vermont Gov. Howard Dean.
"It's all smoke and mirrors designed to hide the stark fact that he has no real plan for our future," retired Gen. Wesley Clark.
California Democratic Sen. Dianne Feinstein said “I had hoped he was going to reach out and bring us together. I thought the speech was thin on domestic policy."
The CC insider said the comments bore a remarkable similarity to the Democrats’ reaction to the Presidents 2004 State of the Union Address.
