...which sounded nice--except that Kerry didn't buy any of it. When he saw the gauzy stump speech his staff had produced from the memo, Kerry told the advisers aboard his plane--Shrum, Sasso, Cutter and McCurry--that the last thing he could afford now was to start sounding like Oprah. Not while Americans were hearing of hostage beheadings and car bombs every night on the news; not while Bush and Cheney were stoking the voters' fears with ads about wolves in the forest and hints of a postelection nuclear holocaust.

A fervent tax cutter, he raised taxes significantly four times as economic conditions and reform demanded. The man who said government was not the solution, it was the problem, actually presided over its continued expansion. Far from abolishing the departments of Energy and Education, he added a new Cabinet-level department, for Veterans Affairs.
