Obama said he can’t take full credit for the large turnout for the primaries in his campaign.

He took a shot at President George W. Bush, saying his policies have motivated Democrats in an unprecedented way.

And do not worry voters, he said. You can be happy that the current administration won’t have a place on the ballot in November, Obama said. The crowd was pretty happy to hear that.

“No Bush,” he said. “And the name of my cousin Dick Cheney won’t be on the ballot.”

In case you didn’t hear that one, Cheney and Obama share a distant relative. Imagine that family reunion.
