Obama: McCain Would Be Better Than Bush
Barack Obama is finding himself caught in a new gaffe, when he conceded that any of the current candidates -- including John McCain -- would be a better president than George W. Bush.
"You have a real choice in this election. Either Democrat would be better than John McCain. And all three of us would be better than George Bush," Obama told a town hall event in Pennsylvania. "But what you have to ask yourself is, who has the chance to actually, really change things in a fundamental way?"
Hillary Clinton was quick to pounce, in light of this seeming violation of this standard Dem line that McCain is simply running to carry out Bush's third term: "We need a nominee who will take on John McCain, not cheer on John McCain."
