Ashcroft was speaking at the Skidmore College and was talking about the Patriot Act and how Obama voted for it. Raw story has this:
"All I'm saying about the Patriot Act," Ashcroft began, "is that the elected representatives of this country, including Osama ..."
His words were met with a roar of disbelief and disapproval, as he continued stammering, "uh ... you know ... not ... Obama."

Is this a preview of what is to come from Republican surrogates? Osama, Hussein, Muslim etc..Subtle linkages..Persoanlly, I see this helping Obama in the long run. The only people influenced by this will be the right wing nuts, who will not vote for Obama any way.
