USA Today: 2nd former Bush official endorses Obama

http://www.usatoday.com/news/politics/election2008/2008-10-23-campaign-wrap-thursday_N.htm?csp=34

By David Jackson, USA TODAY
President Bush's former press secretary Scott McClellan endorsed Barack Obama on Thursday, becoming the second Bush White House veteran this week to back the Democrat.

McClellan, who wrote a book critical of the Bush administration, said Obama has "the best chance of changing the way Washington works." His comments were made during the taping of a new CNN talk show featuring comedian D.L. Hughley that airs this weekend.



McClellan's announcement comes days after former secretary of State Colin Powell said on Sunday that he would back Obama. McClellan was Bush's chief spokesman from 2003 to 2006 and went to work for his fellow Texan's first presidential campaign in 1999.

Obama and Republican nominee John McCain, meanwhile, invoked Bush and "Joe the Plumber" in their ongoing debate about the economy during separate campaign events.

Obama told backers in Indiana it is "time to turn the page" on Bush-McCain economic policies. McCain traversed central Florida on a "Joe the Plumber Tour," saying the Ohio man is the kind of aspiring business owner who would be hurt by higher taxes under an Obama administration.

The tour is named for Joe Wurzelbacher, who grilled Obama about his tax plan earlier this month.
