  Message Theft, Part 3

  Posted Friday, January 11, 2008 12:04 PM | By Chadwick Matlin

  Even if he gets wept out of the race, Barack Obama has made "change" the political buzzword of the cycle. Even President Bush wants in on the action. NBC News' David Gregory asked Bush, "Do you see this message of change as anything other than a rejection of your presidency?" Bush's response:
  

  Oh, listen, if you're running for office, you can't run for office and not say, "I'm an agent of change." That's just American politics. If I were running for office at this point I'd be saying, "Vote for me, I'm -- I'm gonna be an agent of change."

  Considering he's already president, Doesn't he have the power to change whatever he wants?
