Let the propaganda begin. Obama's faux pas Sen. Barack Obama yesterday dished out a robust attack on President Bush for the Iraq war, promised universal health care by 2012 and served up a whopper of a faux pas about last weekend's Kansas tornadoes, the Associated Press reports. The Democratic presidential candidate, appearing before about 500 people at an art studio in Richmond for a fundraiser, aimed with evangelistic fervor at the Bush White House in a 27-minute speech. "How could we have been involved in a war that never should have been authorized, that has already cost us half a trillion dollars," the Illinois senator said, according to the AP. He drew the loudest ovation of the evening when he said he would "make sure every individual has health care by the end of the next president's first term, by the end of my first term." But minutes later, caught up in his exuberance, Mr. Obama blurted out that 10,000 people had died in twisters that tore through Kansas. The statewide death toll was 12 -- 11 of them in the area Greensburg, a small town nearly removed from the map by the twister.
