Who said this and when? Why did they say it?


"I believe that most Americans would agree on the problems this country faces and which the next administration must solve. They include the need, once again, for an economy that works. The economy today is in very, very bad shape, the highest unemployment since the Great Depression, 50% higher than when Republicans took office, raging inflation. The latest wholesale price index is once again raising the specter of double-digit inflation. The purchasing power of the average American has slipped so much that it's now the equivalent of the purchasing power in (year). It's not getting better, it's getting worse. All the leading indicators now point downward. Stock investors are losing confidence. Over $50 billion of value has disappeared from the stock market in less than a month. We need a government that works, we need a government that cares, and once again, we have to get back at work on education, on health, on housing, on the environment, on energy. And we need a foreign policy that once again reflects the values and the beliefs of the American people. This will take leadership, and we need leadership, too. The Republican administration, the Republican Party has had eight years to solve these problems. All of them have gotten worse. The Republican ticket does not offer new plans for their solution but is engaged in a frantic effort to defend the past. This nation desperately needs new leadership. The Democrat ticket would offer a new generation of leadership dedicated to solving the problems I have listed, and that is the basis of our appeal."


No fair cheating and using google. History is doomed to repeat!

Walter Mondull's opening statement in the VP debate with Bob Dole in 1976.

I did a report on this administration (Carter) for the final project in my Problems of Democracy class my senior year.

peanut farmer from back then vs. Obama........coincidence?

NO matter who gets elected it will be a tough road. McCain might be smart and "toss" the election, let Obama take the heat and run again for next term, get in with ease.
