Ed. note: With the
mid-terms elections three months off, President Obama is starting to
deliver some very political speeches. Here he presents the
choice: "whether we want to go forward or we want to go backwards
to the same policies that got us into this mess in the first
place." He invokes favorite Democratic whipping boy, George W.
Bush. "They don’t have a single idea that’s different from George
Bush’s ideas -- not one," he states. Elaborating on the
theme, Obama argues that, "These are the folks who were behind the
steering wheel and drove the car into the ditch."
