`I`m not President Bush,` says McCain

By ANTARA News,

Hempstead : Republican White House hopeful John McCain angrily distanced himself Wednesday from the current administration saying he was not President George W. Bush.

“Senator Obama, I’m not President Bush. If you want to run against President Bush, you should have run four years ago. I’m going to give a new direction to this economy and this country,” McCain was quoted by AFP as telling his Democratic White House rival Barack Obama.

Obama has said a vote for the McCain campaign would be a vote for four more years of the same policies played out during the past eight years of the deeply unpopular Bush administration.

The two men Wednesday clashed in their final face-to-face debate of the 2008 White House race ahead of the November 4 presidential elections.
