KERRY CLAIMS: 53% OF CHILDREN DO NOT GRADUATE FROM HIGH SCHOOL Wed Feb 01 2006 10:43:40 ET
Sen. John Kerry claimed this morning on NBC TODAY that 53% of America's children do not graduate from high school -- a claim that raised eyebrows in the NBC control room, sources tell the DRUDGE REPORT.
Kerry made the comments after host Katie Couric asked the former presidential candidate about Bush's State of the Union call to train 70,000 additional teachers in math and science.
COURIC: He wanted to train 70,000 additional teachers in math and science.
KERRY: That's terrific. But 53 percent of our children don't graduate from high school. Kids don't have after-school programs... He didn't ask America to sacrifice anything to achieve great goals and the biggest example is making the tax cut permanent for the wealthiest people in America. The average American struggles to find time to take carry of families, working two or three jobs... It's a disgrace. He did not tell the real state of the union.
Kerry's 53% claim conflicts with a recent press release from the U.S. Census Bureau: "High School Graduation Rates Reach All-Time High"
And the Census Bureau's own website states: 85.9 Percent Of Americans Aged 20-24 Are High School Graduates. (U.S. Census Bureau Website, www.census.gov , Accessed 2/1/06)

Kerry's only accomplishment was to marry a rich widow. He has failed at everything else he has tried. No significant legislation bears his name, he made up heroics in Viet Nam, a phoned in a filibuster in from the Swiss ski slopes that barely even had the support of the majority of his own party. The list goes on and on. What a loser.

I guess his idea of a job is serial marriage to rich women...

LOL. Did you know that the average American works 2 or 3 jobs to support the family?
No, I didn't know that...but I do know that John Kerry married two wealthy but unhinged women to support his family! Talk about WORK!

With Hillary as his VP running mate.The Dream Team.
That picture is so awful, I can't believe they actually published it. There must be millions of copies of it tucked away by now.

Obviously, someone at Reuters doesn't like Queen Hillary. It is a horrible picture.....and it's my all-time favorite of the Wicked Witch of the East.
