CHARLESTON, W.V. -- Democratic White House hopeful Barack Obama, visiting the potentially critical state of West Virginia today, pivoted his campaign from the difficult issues of race and war back to pocketbook issues, making an economic case for ending the conflict in Iraq.
His address, at the University of Charleston in the state's capital, took far more shots at Sen. John McCain, the presumptive Republican nominee, than his rival for the Democratic nomination, Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton as he continued a two-front war with an eye on the general election.
"We know what this war has cost us -- in blood and in treasure," Obama said. "But in the words of Robert Kennedy, 'past error is no excuse for its own perpetuation.' ... John McCain is refusing to learn from the failures of the past. Instead of offering an exit strategy for Iraq, he's offering us a 100-year occupation. Instead of offering an economic plan that works for working Americans, he's supporting tax cuts for the wealthiest among us who don't need them and aren't asking for them. Senator McCain is embracing the failed policies of the past."
