Kerry promises to be president for all

Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry, taking advantage of a spat between the United States’ oldest human rights group and the White House, accused US President George Bush today of dividing America by race and wealth, and promised as president to represent “all of the people”.

“The president may be too busy to talk to you,” Kerry told the National Association for the Advancement of Coloured People in Philadelphia, “but I have news for you: he’s going to have plenty of time after November 2”.
