Kerry Talks Education, Environmental Policy and Foriegn Affairs in Iowa!
Earlier in the day, Kerry addressed about 100 Cerro Gordo County Democrats at the Rose Bowl bowling alley in Mason City, where he lashed out at Bush over everything from education and environmental policy to his conduct of foreign affairs.
"George Bush went to a nice, fancy high school like I did, but I came out of my fancy high school asking the question, `Why can't everybody have a school like this?' " said Kerry, a graduate of the prestigious St. Paul's School in Concord, N.H. (Bush graduated from Phillips Academy in Andover, Mass.)
"I think that's what we need in the United States: a president who understands that education is the great equalizer," Kerry said.
On the subject of national security, Kerry frequently referred to his service in the Vietnam War. He also made a veiled distinction from some of his rivals for the Democratic nomination by mentioning his long service on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee and his consistent focus on international affairs.
"This is not a time, as President Bush has proven, for on-the-job training on national security," the senator said. "This is a time for someone who knows what they're doing and has experience . . . I do not believe this administration is making America safer with its blustering, arrogant, unilateralist foreign policy."
