Obama skips political speech, asks prayer for Gustav victims
By Charlie Cain and George Hunter
Barack Obama today chucked his usual stump speech, appealing to tens of thousands at the annual Labor Day parade and rally at Hart Plaza to join him in a "moment of silent prayer" for those in the way of Hurricane Gustav. "Today is not the day for political speeches," the Democrat said in a 10-minute speech. "I hope you will forgive me and I hope you don't mind." Obama bypassed the chance to rap Republican opponent John McCain, as he did in weekend campaign stops in Battle Creek, Ohio and Pennsylvania. He said he is sure McCain and President Bush share his concern for the people of coastal Mississippi, Louisiana, Alabama and Texas.
