Obama: Bush che non rispetta costituzione

Il candidato presidenziale democratico Barack Obama il venerdì accusa il presidente Bush di non riuscire a rispettare la costituzione in mezzo del uproar sopra l'infornamento di otto procuratori federali. Il senatore dell'Illinois inoltre ha preso uno swipe al Attorney General assediato Alberto Gonzales. Obama ha unito parecchie altre carbossimetilazioni nel richiedere Gonzales da dimettersi.

“Ero un professore di legge costituzionale, che significa diverso del presidente che corrente realmente rispetto la costituzione,„ Obama ha detto ad un pubblico ad un fundraiser di campagna. “Credo in un Attorney General che è realmente l'avvocato della gente, non l'avvocato del presidente.„

Obama’s remarks drew one of the most enthusiastic responses in a speech often interrupted by applause.

Gonzales acknowledged Friday there is confusion about his role in firing the eight U.S. attorneys last fall. His former chief of staff, Kyle Sampson, told Congress Thursday that prosecutors put on a list to be fired got there in part because they were not deemed “loyal Bushies.”

During his stop in Florida, Obama held a brief meeting with Democratic lawmakers and then spoke for about three minutes to more than 100 college students who held an impromptu rally outside an IMAX theater where he held his fundraiser.

“I just hope that everyone here has that same sense of urgency that I do,” Obama told the students. “I hope the young people in particular use this campaign as a vehicle to get involved and engaged. This is one of those rare moments where we could change history, and those moments don’t come that often. So I hope that all of you take advantage of it.” POLITICS

Inside the fundraiser, which was a sellout at 640 tickets and raised about $150,000, people packed a room and balcony.

Obama told the group that he can unite the country, and a united country will bring change.

“But there are going to be times when I’m tired, there are going to be times when I’m weary, there are going to be times when I make mistakes, but none of that matters if we have millions of voices who are coming together insisting on a new America,” he said.

At the Capitol, Obama signed books for a handful of lawmakers before inching his way through a packed room.

“One of the things that I’ve come to realize is how much I learn in the state Legislature, because there’s very few jobs that give you a better sense of the state and the people in it _ the struggles they’re going through every day,” Obama said. “It was that experience in the Legislature that convinced me that politics can be a noble calling.”
