Reply #4: I got to watch Senator Kerry this morning on Meet the Press-

[wisteria]

I thought he gave a very good assessment of what has been going on. He seemed angry over the Republicans' stubbornness and unwillingness to forgo the Bush tax cuts-even for right now. And, I think he is disappointed at how this is going to turn out. After watching the Senator, I think it is safe to say, the committee will not reach an agreement by the deadline. He then defended the President on the RW talking point that the President has not been hands on, saying this is what the Republicans wanted, claiming his involvement would make it political, and the administration had been in touch with the members of the committee consistently.
Oh, and of course, there was the comparison of the 2004 campaign with the one it is suggested the Dems will deploy against Romney, if he is the Republican nominee for President, in 2012. Senator Kerry said he hadn't had time to follow what was going on in Republican or Democratic politics right now, but defended himself eloquently once again, against the suggestion that he was a flip flopper. He said his vote for and against was based on principal, and then suggested that Romney would have to defend and explain all his changes in opinions.
