Bush began on Friday repeating a phrase in speeches that “we have turned the corner” on various issues like Iraq and education. Here’s Kerry’s response, just one day later:
“Turning the corner,” Kerry said in a tone of disbelief, mocking remarks that Bush made Friday in Missouri and Michigan as the competing candidates set off in a burst of campaigning after the Democratic National Convention.
“The last time we had a president who talked about turning a corner and ran on the slogan of turning a corner was Herbert Hoover,” Kerry said, referring to the Republican who was in office when the Great Depression began in 1929.
“I don’t want to run talking about turning a corner. I’m running to climb the mountain and get to the top,” Kerry shouted to the 4,000 people who filled the station square and nearby streets.
