Bamboozled, Hoodwinked, and Okie Doke’d

It looks like Taylor noticed the same thing I noticed last night.

"They're trying to bamboozle you. It's the same old okie-doke. Y'all know about okie doke, right? ... They try to bamboozle you. Hoodwink ya. Try to hoodwink ya. Alright, I'm having too much fun here. ... "    
- Barack Obama

"You've been hoodwinked. You've been had. You've been took. You've been led astray, led amok. You’ve been bamboozled." - Malcolm X

For myself, I kind of like the fact Obama would repurpose Malcolm X in 2008. But, I'm not sure it's going to work with those disgruntled Republicans and Independents his campaign is going after with the message of "everyone coming together" and whatnot.

UPDATE: It looks like the section quoted above was from a different speech Obama gave recently in South Carolina and not his victory speech last night. With all the footage I saw last night, I must have gotten confused.
