Obama Hits McCain on Closed Door Meeting with Bush.

From ABC News:

ABC News' Sunlen Miller Reports: Senator Obama capitalized on Senator McCain's closed door meeting with President Bush today, to paint the presumptive Republican nominee as a continuation of the Bush administration's failed policies.

"Today, John McCain is having a different kind of meeting. He's holding a fundraiser with George Bush behind closed doors in Arizona. No cameras. No reporters," Obama said before a town hall in Las Vegas, "And we all know why. Senator McCain doesn't want to be seen, hat-in-hand, with the President whose failed policies he promises to continue for another four years. But the question for the American people is: do we want to continue George Bush's policies?"

Watch the VIDEO HERE.

Senator Obama is spending the day in North Las Vegas talking about the home foreclosure crisis, meeting with a struggling family of Bellagio workers and holding a small town hall to discuss his housing plan. By comparison, which the Obama campaign happily plays up, McCain will be meeting with President Bush at a closed door fundraiser in Arizona.

"I don't think the American people want to continue the disastrous economic policies that have helped create catastrophes like the housing crisis that we're here to discuss today," Obama continued, "On issue after issue, John McCain is offering more of the same policies that have failed for the last eight years. That's the agenda that he and the President are raising money to support later today. But I'm here in Nevada because we know it’s time to turn the page."
