The Kerry campaign didn't have a very good August but the country under President Bush has had a terrible August.

I think that's where Senator Kerry needs to be. I think that's where Senator Kerry is.

The lack of respect that we have around the world is costing American diplomacy. It's costing America in prestige.

Things are not going well in America. This is a jobless recovery. Health care costs exploding. Things are not going well in Iraq.

We've got to change that and change it right away. We need to have an administration that understands that.

This administration's attention has been completely diverted to Iraq.

Hope is on the way. Hope is on the way. Hope is on the way.

The Bush administration miscalculated by deciding to go it alone without strong allies. The Bush administration miscalculated when they waited three years after September 11 to start to reform our intelligence.

The president himself said on television today that he had serious doubts about winning the war on terrorism. John Kerry and I know we can win the war on terrorism, and we know how to win it.

I think it would be wrong for the Kerry people not to say that there has been an ever so slight, but noticeable, erosion here.

The thing that's going to matter is President Bush's speech, specifically how does he tell American people about Vietnam, now that -- about Iraq now that he said he made a miscalculation.

Mr. President, we ain't got nothing to buy anything, how the hell can we own anything out here in America? Get real.

He blasted President Bush's tax cuts and promised that he and Kerry would create new jobs if elected.

There is no red state, there is no blue state. There is only one United States of America.

And this is not a Democratic message or a Republican message, this is an American message.

One of the things is, he sure would have a better plan -- anybody would have a better plan than this administration has.

I think that Kerry's point is made in spades. It's one thing to have the authority and actually by giving the president authority to have inspectors in. By the time that this war started, I think the administration, the CIA -- thought…

But I think what John Kerry said reflects his view.
