Obama's revised stump speech in Vegas
He has added some funny comments about Hillary and Edwards.

===========================================================

In a tone rich with sarcasm, Mr. Obama launched into a fresh critique about Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton’s answer on how she had voted on a bankruptcy bill in Congress.

“This was a bill she voted for in 2001 and that the credit card companies and the banks had been pushing to make it harder for people to get out of debt and reduce the 30-percent interest on the credit cards and folks had been going bankrupt for it,” he said. “She was asked about it by Tim Russert and she said, ‘Oh I voted for it but I’m glad to see that it didn’t pass.

“What does that mean? No seriously what does that mean? If you, if you want to see a bankruptcy bill then you vote against,” Mr. Obama said. “People don’t say what they mean. You know that it’s true.”

2. It proves she is playing politics...not playing senator
Voting against it would hurt the money flow from the corporations. Hillary had a choice to make, the American people, or the corporations.
