Barack Obama diverted from a DNC talking point that "McCain would be nothing more than a 3rd Bush term" by saying, "And all three of us[presidential candidates] would be better than George Bush."
Obama made the statment during a campaign rally in Reading PA.

The DNC has been promoting their belief that a McCain win would constitute a 3rd Bush term. Now they are left scrambling to explain what Obama must have "meant" to say.

Both camps have repsonded with what you would expect them say via AP:

Said Tucker Bounds, a McCain spokesman: "The remark underscores that John McCain has the strength to change America and move this nation forward. Barack Obama is a new face who represents old ideas."

Countered Obama spokesman Bill Burton: "It's hard to imagine a president doing a worse job than President Bush but one thing is clear, John McCain wants to do his best to emulate Bush's failed economic and foreign policies and even his divisive political tactics."
