Obama ： 布什不尊敬憲法

在星期五民主黨總統候選人Barack Obama指責了布什總統不尊敬憲法在騷亂之中在八位聯邦檢察官生火。伊利諾伊參議員也採取了重擊在敵人圍困的檢察長Alberto Gonzales。 Obama在Gonzales辭職的要求加入了幾位其他民主人士。

「我是一位憲法教授，意味不同於當前總統我實際上尊敬憲法」， Obama告訴觀眾在競選募捐人。 「我相信實際上是人民的律師的檢察長，不是總統的律師」。

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.”
