Obama Lights Up Bush

Sen. Barack Obama, during a speech to Emily's List, took many shots at President Bush. Included was Bush's "subliminal messages".

(Sun-Times)Obama mocked the "idea that somehow if you say the words 'plan for victory' and 'stay the course' over and over and over and over again, and you put these subliminal messages behind you that say 'victory' and 'victory' and 'victory,' that somehow people are not going to notice the 2,400 flag-draped coffins that have arrived at the Dover Air Force Base."
He also had some thoughts about some of Bush's campaign pledges.
"I don't know about you," he told his audience, referring to Bush's 2000 campaign comments on possible U.S. military involvement overseas, "but when George Bush said he did not believe in nation building, I did not know he was talking about this nation."
