Obama's proud of his name; it signifies that his roots are other than American, and he learned to hate America at the knee of his radical mother, described by those who knew her as a "fellow traveler" -- so, in Obama's world, the America he hates must be "changed."
That said, it's SOP to have local radio hosts warm up a crowd at campaign stops, and McCain could easily have shrugged it off with "I don't know the guy, but he's entitled to his political views." or "Isn't that my opponent's name? I don't understand the problem." Instead, he gave the media, as usual, exactly what they wanted.
If McCain doesn't realize what he's up against in Obama, and how this guy has come on the scene at a time that combines economic uncertainty, war weariness, and a moral vacuum that yearns for a "savior," we are in deep trouble. If he intends to "play nice" and keep to the high road of political niceties or, even worse, tack further left to out-pander Obama's socialist promises, we're heading for a national disaster.
I agree with you....I just read a website that really makes me fear an Obama presidency:
