Amazing 2008 video: Obama attacks Bush for his executive orders, overreach, and refusal to work with Congress

The attached video is from a 2008 Town Hall campaign event in Lancaster PA. It surfaced on YouTube earlier today, and it's been spreading like wildfire ever since. In it, candidate Obama tears into then President George W. Bush for his abuse of executive orders, his expansion of executive power, and his refusal to work with Congress.

According to Senator Obama: "The biggest problems that we’re facing right now have to do with George Bush trying to bring more and more power into the executive branch and not go through Congress at all. And that’s what I intend to reverse when I’m president of the United States of America." That was the message from a man who would one day tell America that he's "got a a pen and a phone" and intends to use them to advance his agenda with or without congressional approval. Aren't you glad that Senator Obama followed through on his promise? Don't you feel safer knowing that "Mr. Unilateral Delay" is reducing the power of the Executive Branch? Isn't it great to live in a country where we don't have to worry about being lorded over by a boy king who refuses to acknowledge that his whims are subject to the Constitution?
