Transcription
His fellow governors voted him the most effective governor in America. The son of Greek immigrants, he served his country in Korea. And inspired by John Kennedy, he chose public service. In nine years as governor of Massachusetts, he wiped out huge budget deficits, cut taxes, fought corruption, helped 40,000 welfare mothers find jobs, and led an economic turnaround they call a miracle. Mike Dukakis, a president for the 90s.
