Obama Hits Back Hard

I really think Bush and McCain blundered with the "appeasment" idiocy. All of their old tricks are backfiring. As I said on the show today, it only allowed Obama to equate McCain with Bush, put Bush (with his 20something approval rating) squarely in the middle of the campaign, drew attention away from the Hillary/Obama show that the Republicans were enjoying, and allowed Obama to turn this entire thing to his advantage. I thought his speech focusing on Bush's failures today was dead-on and hard-hitting, and he kept calling them McCain-Bush. More of this!
