Administration Quote by Dennis Kucinich

“Bush is going in the wrong way. And I dare say, that is what the strategy of his administration is, is just to wipe out government's purpose for any social and economic justice at all. And I'm going to take the country in an opposite direction than he's taking it.” quote by Dennis Kucinich
