Jim Webb's GI Bill passed the Senate today with a bipartisan majority, 75-22. Clinton and Obama were both there, but McCain is in California today on the fundraising trail.
Obama used the opportunity to once again tie his rival to the president.
"I respect Sen. John McCain's service to our country," Obama said on the Senate floor this morning. "He is one of those heroes of which I speak. But I can't understand why he would line up behind the president in opposition to this GI Bill. I can't believe why he believes it is too generous to our veterans. I could not disagree with him and the president more on this issue."
The McCain campaign responded by issuing a sharply worded and lengthy statement in the senator's name. McCain notes his support for an alternative to the Webb measure, but points out his own military service and points out Obama's lack thereof.

Let’s see, Obama has spent over half of his Senate career on the campaign trail and he is criticizing someone else??? Mr. Green Jeans needs to shut his trap.
Odumbo is a crackhead, two-bit flunkie. McCain handed him his ass.
Are we allowed to talk about his ass?
I’m becoming less disinclined to vote for McCain. Barry Bozo is a great help.
Frankly is the Bush administration or many other Republicans had some guys on their team who could fight back things might have gone a lot better.
Barry couldn’t carry John’s jockstrap.
No...he's already said his wife is off limits.
Ouch!
nObama is a tough talker when McCain is not even in the building to respond. Looking forward to the debates. I hope the moderators ask some tough questions like “how many U.S. states are there?” and “which state is closer to Kentucky? Illinois (barrys home state) or Arkansas?”
ALL his mispeaks (??) lack comprehension of his rival's view and basic logic...
Now, I understand why he came out with a "Book First" and came to "Opra First". It's called "Brainwashing".
And I will not accept from Senator Obama, who did not feel it was his responsibility to serve our country in uniform, any lectures on my regard for those who did.
Zing.
Hey Black Whitguilt Oblack, after you spend 5 years as a POW you can criticize his vote on Vets.
Pray for W and Our Troops
Yes. But we are supposed to lay-off his flag lapel hating, college for everyone paying, bitter as bile wife.
Obama is a two-bit bastard child born to a pimp married to an atheist slut. McCain is a great patriot born in a legendary patriotic family. End of discussion.
Uh...oh. Disappearing posts.
Obama criticizing McCain. That’s a signal to the media to do the same thing.
Beginning Tuesday next week, the attacks start, unlike any we’ve seen.
