Clinton criticized Obama on Sunday for including John McCain when saying all three presidential candidates would be better for the country than President Bush.

I can not understand the red part, please help. Thanks a lot.

I'm not a native English speaker; if you happen to be helped by me, I am sorry. :)

I didn't actually hear this or read about it, but it seems to mean that Obama said that any of the current candidates -- himself, Clinton or McCain -- would be better than the current president, and apparently Clinton thought he should have just said that either of the Democrats would be better for the country.
