Obama and McCain have a history of scuffles
The International Herald Tribune ^ | February 14, 2008 | Jeff Zeleny

Their tempest began well before their presidential campaigns.

When Senator John McCain claimed victory for a round of primaries Tuesday, it came as little surprise that he skipped over the criticism of Senator Barack Obama's policies. Instead, he zeroed in on another long-held aggravation: A perception that Obama wears a political halo.

"I don't seek the presidency on the presumption that I am blessed with such personal greatness," McCain said, "that history has anointed me to save my country in its hour of need."

A contentious relationship between McCain, a Republican from Arizona, and Obama, a Democrat from Illinois, has been percolating on Capitol Hill for more than two years.

McCain can get along with Kennedy, Feingold and Lieberman but not Obama? Could it be Saint Barry isn’t the uniter he claims to be?

When I read that the Lefty media guy that Bush used is leaving McCain . It meant that McCain has files on Osama Obama he is going use them to dismantle this radical socialist if he is the nominee.
America needs to know what exactly Osama Obama means by change which is a European socialism .The media has openly refuse to do !
Good for him.

I’ve you’d seen McCain and Obama joking around and backslapping on the Senate floor earlier this week, you’d have thought they were running mates.

"America needs to know what exactly Osama Obama means by change which is a European socialism ."

but it's only a matter of time before that's something that the majority of Americans will want, given MSM indoctrination!

Then the Russians have already pegged him as a Wimp.

Sad but true.
Thats is why the leftist media has shifted it attacks to Clinton.
They realize that only the most liberal senator is serious about ramming thru the dream of socialism and shutting down the new media /talk radio which has killed there ability to indoctrinate the masses at a faster pace.

“Age and treachery will always win over youth and skill.”

Except in this case, it’s youth and misplaced idealism.

That's why I think Hillary pulls the rug out from under Obama.

If they did, Juan had his head so far up Dumbo’s fundament that you could see Juan’s ears wiggle when Dumbo opened his mouth.
