Turning the corner

Bush: "We are turning the corner, and we're not turning back" What exactly does he mean?

Kerry: "Let me tell you something, folks: The last time we had a president who talked about turning a corner, and ran on the slogan of turning the corner, was Herbert Hoover, and he ran on the prospect that 'prosperity is just around the corner.'"

Meanwhile, in America:

In an echo of the savings and loan industry collapse of the 1980's,
the federal agency that insures company pensions is facing a possible cascade of bankruptcies and pension defaults in the airline industry that some experts fear could lead to another multibillion-dollar taxpayer bailout.

Attacks against American troops in Afghanistan and Afghan security forces and civilians have increased steadily in the past several months, posing new hurdles for reconstruction and political stability efforts, American commanders and Afghan officials say.

Bush, never one to be distracted by domestic or foreign policy matters, is keeping his campaign-trail message focused like a laser on today's critical global issues. "We stand for the 2nd Amendment, which gives every American the individual right to bear arms....I've got a record on that issue. It stands in stark contrast to my opponent."
