Bombast?

Barack Obama accused President George W. Bush and Senator John McCain of engaging in a war of "bombast" when it comes to Iraq.

Now, like the rest of America, I'm wondering what does "bombast" mean? At first, I tried to use some reasoning skills and I determined it means they were carpet bombing Americans in some metaphorical way. Then I realized it is George W. Bush, so nothing is metaphorical from his standpoint.

Being a good teacher, I decided to look the word up in the dictionary. Bombast means "pretentious speech." I think the only pretentious person in that group is Barack Obama.

Go back to your thesaurus Obama!
