Scrub up: College Dems take Obama’s ‘clean up the mess’ to heart

College Democrats are taking President Obama‘s lead and sending their GOP counterparts a message.

A long wooden stick complete with cloth tendrils.

The official youth outreach of the Democratic National Committee delivered mops to Republican offices Thursday and Friday to invite the right to help “clean up the mess” President George W. Bush made during his eight-year presidency.

And Obama clearly embraces the DNC’s message.

“I don’t mind cleaning up the mess that some other folks made, that’s what I signed up to do,” he said at a DNC fundraiser in New York on Tuesday night. “But while I’m there mopping the floor, I don’t want someone saying, ‘You’re not mopping fast enough or you’re not holding the mop the right way.’ Grab a mop! Why don’t you help clean up?”

Will Obama keep calling out Dubya, or call the mess his own?
