"Change" has been the pillar of this election season. But it's hard to be a genuine agent of change if those who craft your message of reform come straight from the inner-circle of a president with the lowest approval rating in modern American history. This video compilation, aired during a segment of Countdown with Keith Olbermann on October 3, shows the similarities in rhetoric and evasive strategies between George Bush in 2000 and Sarah Palin. "Small surprise then that even in the very act of claiming her background," Olbermann reported, "her experience [qualifies] her to offer us that change from Bush, she does so sounding almost exactly like Bush."
