Obama has said electing McCain would mean a third Bush term.

READING, Pennsylvania (CNN) – Democrat Barack Obama conceded Sunday that all three leading presidential contenders would be better than President Bush — including Republican opponent John McCain.

"Either Democrat would be better than John McCain," he said. "And all three of us would be better than George Bush."

In the past, Obama has equated a McCain presidency to a "third Bush term."

But, people, don’t forget you elected Bush as president. Did you say that you made same mistake twice in a row? If so, don’t make the same mistake three times in a row. Get someone with low risk.

If you want more of the same, vote for McCain. If you would like to get out of Iraq, Vote for Hillary or Barrack.
