Letter: President can’t defend record

Why do the president and vice president continue to criticize Sen. Kerry in their campaign speeches when they should be talking about their accomplishments?

Could it be they're not proud of what they've done? Lets see, we have war, terrorism threats, education reform that is teaching kids how to take tests, environmental degradation, restriction of civil liberties, recession and job losses, an improving economy but with jobs that pay less than those that have disappeared and so forth.

Hmm, maybe that explains it. As President Reagan asked, "Are you better off than you were four years ago?"
