When on Tuesday John Kerry defeated his last serious competitor-democrat, John Edwards, George Bush’s election car was launched. The president withdrew 130 million dollars from the account and began to spend them. On Wednesday, the Bush election headquarters began broadcasting in 16 states of his campaign television videos. The goal is to neutralize the results of a decrease in the popularity of the President, which is evidenced by public opinion polls, reports on Friday the French newspaper Libatation (the translation of the article publishes the site inopressa.ru ). However, in fact, the opposite effect was obtained.
All four videos praise the feeling of leadership, his determination ... There are no direct attacks on Kerry in them, but the viewer is convinced that the latter will not be able to lead the country in these troubled times. One of the clips is called "before the test." The video shows the ruins of the World Trade Center with an American flag flushing in the foreground.
“In recent years, America has been put in front of a variety of trials,” the voice was broadcasting behind the scenes. “It has already encountered some challenges before, others have not been like anything before. But America got up to accept them. President Bush: a firm leadership in changing times.” "Solid" is a keyword in all videos.
Here is what Stefani Katter, director of the press service of John Kerry, says about this: "The only solid thing at the same time is that he led the country with a firm hand in the wrong direction."
The beginning of the broadcast of the election campaigns of Bush turned into a scandal. The use of the personnel of the destroyed New York World Trade Center caused the outrage of the relatives of the deceased on September 11, 2001 and participants in search and rescue work.
“Looking at Bush, who performs against the backdrop of the“ zero level ”, I cannot get rid of the thought that it was the president that could not protect 3,000 Americans who were killed that day,” said CNN, the widow of one of Patty Kasazza on September 11.
“This is as vile as the actions of people who plundered things that remained under the wreckage after the collapse of the WTC towers,” said the New York Daily Plus Firefight Tommy Fi, who participated in the search and rescue operation at the place of the tragedy.
According to the President of the American Firefighters Garold Shaitberger, it is immoral "to turn to the greatest tragedy in the history of our country in order to attract sympathy to its election campaign," RIA Novosti reports.
However, representatives of the Bush campaign headquarters were defending their advertising clips. "On September 11, it radically changed our domestic and foreign policy, and I think it is very important that the next president, whoever he is, realizes this," said Karen Hugues in an interview with CBS television company.
In turn, the White House spokeswoman Scott McLellan emphasized that "on September 11 it became a decisive moment for our country ... and united all the Americans."
