At Morningside College in Sioux City Iowa, where he was beginning a two-day swing through the state, the Republican presidential contender returned Clinton's mocking reference to his call for Americans to work "longer hours." Like most members of her party, Clinton interpreted Bush's comments as a slight against American workers. "He must not have met very many American workers," she said. "Let him tell that to the nurse who stands on her feet all day or the trucker who drives all night. Let him tell that to the fast food workers marching in the streets for better pay. They don't need a lecture, they need a raise."
