WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Sen. John McCain unleashed an unusually biting and blunt broadside Monday against one of his Democratic colleagues, Sen. Barack Obama of Illinois, accusing the freshman senator of backtracking on a previous commitment to help develop a bipartisan proposal for lobbying and ethics reform.
"I'm embarrassed to admit that after all these years in politics, I failed to interpret your previous assurances as typical rhetorical gloss routinely used in politics to make self-interested partisan posturing appear more noble," the Arizona Republican said in a letter to Obama.
"Please be assured I won't make the same mistake again."
McCain also told Obama that "I understand how important the opportunity to lead your party's efforts to exploit this issue must seem to a freshman senator, and I hold no hard feelings over your earlier disingenuousness."

Your husband was in the spying business, but is still alive. So it is obvious that even though you have 'no doubt', he really hasn't been 'put to the test' as McCain has.
Further, since your husband was in the spying business, you seem to ignore that McCain was not.
So, before you continue to pass judgement on a war veteran who survived as a POW, and seems to have served his country well (as opposed to Kerry, Gore and others), you should remember the above two points. Your point of reference hasn't been tested and proven, nor were the two gentleman you compared of the same occupation.
You will not change my view's on McCain.
