Tom Toles – Washington Post, September 5th, 2008:

Watch out, Mr. Bush!  With the exception of economic policy and energy policy and social issues and tax policy and foreign policy and Supreme Court appointments and Rove-Style politics, we’re coming in there to shake things up!

Barack Obama – Lebanon, VA, September 9th, 2008:

Watch out, George Bush. Except for economic policy, health care policy, tax policy, education policy, foreign policy and Karl Rove-style politics … we’re really gonna shake things up in Washington.

    O’Bama has no original ideas. He just regurgitates Marxist platitudes. Change can be good, but don’t take any wooden nickels.
