Senator Spoke To 1,000 People In Nebraska

(AP) OMAHA, Neb. U.S. Sen. Barack Obama took aim at the Bush administration Saturday, telling a crowd of party faithful that Americans should be disturbed by what's happening in Washington.
"Folks are feeling like they've had enough," Obama told about 1,000 people at Salem Baptist Church in Omaha. "I've had enough of folks not telling the truth. I've had enough of people manipulating intelligence, fudging numbers and distorting what's happening. I've had enough of three-dollar something gasoline."
The Illinois Democrat cited what he said were lies about the use of wiretaps on U.S. citizens and violations of civil liberties.
In remarks prepared for 850 Nebraska Democrats at a fundraiser later in the day, Obama was even more pointed in his criticism of President Bush.
"We all remember that George Bush said in the 2000 campaign that he was against nation building," Obama said. "We just didn't know he was talking about this one."
Obama said he was eager to argue with the president and Republicans over "what this country is about. Because I think this is our moment to lead."
At a news conference, Obama said that in order for the Democratic Party to be successful, it must articulate what the American experience and dream is about. Those ideals, Obama said, include upward mobility, protecting the country and caring for the vulnerable.
Obama was in Omaha to speak at the annual Morrison-Exon dinner, a fundraiser that this year will generate $150,000 for the party.
Obama's appearance came just three days before Tuesday's primary in Nebraska, which has several hotly contested races for the Republicans but no high-profile ones for Democrats.
