Obama: McCain ‘Doesn’t Know What He’s Up Against’
Fox News and Associated Press ^ | August 20, 2008

RALEIGH, N.C. — A combative Barack Obama said Tuesday that Republican John McCain “doesn’t know what he’s up against” in this election and challenged his rival to stop questioning his character and patriotism.

Obama, campaigning in a state where he hopes to become the first Democratic presidential candidate to win in more than three decades, implored his supporters to fight for the presidency.

“Our job in this election is not just ‘win,’ although I’m a big believer in winning,” Obama said during the rally. “I don’t intend to lose this election. John McCain doesn’t know what he’s up against.”

“He can talk all he wants about Britney (Spears) and Paris (Hilton), but I don’t have time for that mess,” Obama said.

His remarks carried forward a theme of feisty campaigning he debuted earlier in the day.

No, Mr. Obama. It's you, with no experience working for the United States; it's you, relying upon those vaccuous promises of Chenge; it's you relying upon your allegiance to Socialists in America to escort you into the White House, it's you, Mr. Obama who does not have clue one what you are up against.

Fortunately, us Conservative voters are aware of what all Americans will be up against, should you by luck or by deceit, be elected to be Commander-in-Chief.

No, Mr. Obama, Senator John McCain is right in questioning your patriotism and character because Mr. Obama, you are sorely lacking in both.

“He can talk all he wants about Britney (Spears) and Paris (Hilton), but I don’t have time for that mess,” Obama said.

Well, he just took time to talk about that mess.

John McCain knows what he's up against. An incompetent, inexperienced, weak, Marxist. McCain's simply up against a clueless liberal idiot.

...but I don’t have time for that mess...

"That Mess" is his code phrase for "visiting wounded U.S. soldiers."

“John McCain doesn’t know what he’s up against.”

USN aviation vs. community organizer, whatever that may be.

And if McCain brings a knife Obama will bring a gun.

When Obama drops in the polls he resorts to gang talk.

What nerve...Obamalamadingdong must think he’s talking about two sports teams going head to head...

No, it’s about one good American patriot with the right stuff to lead vs one lying, cheating, obfuscating, clueless idiot like a dimRAT with 143 days or so of Senate experience with a messiah complex yet ...he needs to get his head examined cause he has no idea what a true Presidential candidate is...

LOL! Yes, well that would depend upon whether BHO can even find your community and once he found it, whether he considers it to be within or outside of his 57 States making up the USA.

“doesn’t know what he’s up against”

Spoken like a true gangster thug.

May McCain make him eat those words.

This is good! Let him fly off the handle with this type of tough talk. He only looks good to the hardcore left. Which has absolutely no chance of electing him on their own.

Bring it on, Barack!

By all means, do fire-up our base with your cheap veiled threats!

I think he’s nursing emotional wounds from Saddleback—he’s acting out.

With Hillary controlling the Convention, poor ole Obama doesn't have a clue what he's up against.
