I disagree, doubled, though I'm sure those who support Kerry will try to spin it that way. He is talking to students, about their future. I'd have to use some pretty twisted logic to think that he was referring to President Bush.

On a side note, I'm one of those folks who believe that when someone is referring to the President of the United States, we address the office with respect. Liberals refer to him as "Bush" out of a lack of respect. He's PRESIDENT Bush to me.

Actually, when I first heard the clip I thought he was specifically referring to George W. Bush. The basic problem is that Kerry lives his life in the sort of echo chamber when any person he knows has such severe Bush Derangement Syndrome that basically any statement uttered by anyone is really a sarcastic dig at Bush.

You could say "Nice Weather", and they'd be like "yeah, thanks to that chickenhawk, Karl Rove's, Secret Weather Controlling Machine built by Halliburton and Diebold using a no-bid contract."

Anyway, Kerry's "joke" is only funny if a person has Bush Derangement Syndrome. And then you aren't supposed to laugh. You're supposed to grunt in sardonic irony. In the 1980's it was the same way. A "comedian" would get on the stage and say something like "Reagan sucks" and the audience would go "yeah! That's right! Reagan DOES suck!" It was the most bizarre and humorless form of "comedy" that has ever existed, and it still exists to this day.
