AUSTIN, Texas -- Democrat Barack Obama rejected President Bush's claim that the country isn't headed for a recession, and slammed the economic policies followed by both Bush and Republican contender John McCain. Things are getting worse, not better, and the country stands "on the brink of a recession," the Illinois senator and front-runner for the Democratic nomination said Thursday. Obama blamed a "failure of leadership" in Washington, implying McCain was part of that failed leadership.
