One of the first things I heard him say (in March) was when he was at a Bethlehem, Penn. town meeting:

An audience member named Cedrick Brown asked Mr. Kerry who were the foreign leaders with whom he had met.

"No, wait, wait, wait, wait you asked me if I'd met with any leaders. Yes. I have had conversations with leaders, yes, recently. That's not your business, it's mine. I've met with foreign leaders for any (inaudible) purpose - I never said that. What I said was that I have heard from people who are leaders elsewhere in the world who don't appreciate the Bush administration approach and would love to see a change in the leadership of the United States".

He went on for a while before he finally asked Mr. Brown if he had voted for Bush. When Mr. Brown replied, "yes", Kerry walked away disgusted.

I just thought it fit in well with your post.
