Obama accuses Bush of "social Darwinism"

In his first book, Dreams from My Father, Barack Obama took a couple of shots at Ronald Reagan, who not just militarily, but economically turned this country around.

Earlier today, while kowtowing to yet another union group, Obama picked up where he left off, this time President Bush was his target.

From AP:

Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama accused the Bush administration on Tuesday of pursuing a policy of "social Darwinism" that leaves every man and woman struggling.

"It's a strategy that we've seen this administration pursue over the last six years, that basically says government has no role to play in making sure that America is prosperous for all people and not just some," Obama said to applause during an appearance before the Communications Workers of America.

Like Reagan, President Bush has presided over a growing economy--one that benefits almost everyone. I remember hearing the same garbage from the Democrats in the 1980s.
