WASHINGTON, March 9 (UPI) -- Sen. John Kerry's campaign Tuesday gave U.S. President George W. Bush an award he didn't want for losing more jobs than any U.S. president since Herbert Hoover.
Kerry Campaign Chairwoman Jeanne Shaheen announced the symbolic and satirical presentation of a fictitious "Herbert Hoover Award" to the president Tuesday, the day he was honoring quality leaders in U.S. business at the Malcolm Baldridge National Quality awards.

Most Democratic presidential candidates, including frontrunner Howard Dean, support tax increases and protectionism. One of the few Democratic free-traders, Sen.

Bush & Crew should say 'Thank You' while making the point they are still using
their Hoover to clean up the mess left by the Clinton administration.

What awards would be appropriate for Kerry?
The Benedict Arnold/Jane Fonda Award for Treason.
The Neville Chamberlain Award for Appeasement.
The Fish out of water Award for most Flip flops.
The Larry Flynt award for being lame and obscene.
