WASHINGTON - Shifting his ongoing criticism from Iraq to domestic issues, Sen. Edward Kennedy (D-Mass.) yesterday took President George W. Bush to task for what he called misleading the American public on everything from Medicare to education.

"This president has now created the largest credibility gap since Richard Nixon," Kennedy said in a speech at the Brookings Institute, a think tank in Washington. "He has broken the basic bond of trust with the American people."

Kennedy, a leader on health issues, said Bush, desperate to claim a win on Medicare, pushed a law that is a "raw" deal for seniors and a "sweetheart" deal for drug and insurance companies.

"This administration misled Congress, misled the public and misled even members of their own party about the cost of the Medicare bill," said Kennedy, a key supporter of Bush's Democratic rival Sen. John Kerry of Massachusetts. "Why? Because they knew the bill would never pass if the real cost was known and they believed victory was more important than honesty."

Congress narrowly passed the controversial Medicare drug act last fall after much debate about its cost. Weeks after its passage, Bush officials acknowledged that the measure could cost $534 billion over 10 years - far higher than the $400 billion they had touted.

Last month, the government's chief Medicare actuary said he told White House officials of an even higher cost estimate last summer.

Republicans argue that Congress relies on estimates from the Congressional Budget Office and that Democrats are trying to make it a political issue.

White House officials referred questions to Bush campaign officials, who could not be reached for comment.

Kennedy, who once worked with Bush on education issues, also blasted the president for what he said was reneging on providing resources such as money for teacher training, dropout-prevention programs and school improvements.

As for the war in Iraq, Kennedy called it Bush's Vietnam. He said Bush lied about nuclear weapons in Iraq and the country's link to al-Qaida. The war has alienated allies and made the fight against terrorism harder, Kennedy said. With Bush, he said, "truth is the first casualty of policy."

The Handmaiden for the Democratic Party.
Call and tell them that this is actually Bush's Bay of Pigs....

[finnman69]

How about some detail instead of a lame vanity post.

[mabelkitty]

I'm thinking Ted for VP, which is why they are fighting so hard to keep Romney from appointing the replacements.

[cweese]

...thanks, fedupwithlibs!!! i'm dialing the swimmer's office right now!...

Laura Ingraham is all over the senior Blowfish from Massachusetts on her radio show. Having veterans call in and express their disgust with his comments yesterday.

All I can get is a busy signal.
