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.

He kicked Obama in the teeth, too bad its not on every media outlet
Click the link , read all of this!
LOL!
I don’t know who’s writing McCain’s statements for him, but he needs to keep writing. And glad to see McKinnon gone from the campaign, should have happened a long time ago.
“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.”
I agree with your ZING! I also wonder if we matched McCain’s voting record with that of Obama...who would have avoided his duty by simply voting “present” the most? ;-)
“”Tone it down old man. Your teeth and temper are flaring and it is a ghastly sight.”
A very strange response - don’t you think that McCain should stand up to Barry Obama? His response was strong, clear, measured - in short, the kind of response a man should make when someone attacks him.”
I agree and what’s with that poster’s ad hominem with regard to his age?
It’s encouraging, for sure.
Glen Ford slapping a woman? It’s hard to believe. What was the movie?
Let’s talk about his ass even if we aren’t allowed! Along with his ears, his wife’s evil America comments, his church, his friends,,,,,,,,,whatever ! The man is running for President !
You forgot "Muslim militant."
MurryMom is our pet troll. The boss lets her stay here so we can tag and bag her once or twice a month.
“Obama is a two-bit bastard child born to a pimp married to an atheist slut...”
In fact, the preponderance of evidence is that Obama Sr. and Stanley Ann never actually attempted marriage, and certainly were not legally married, since Obama Sr. had an undivorced wife back in Kenya which would have rendered any such marriage ceremony between Dunham and himself invalid ab initio.
WOW!!! Yes - a very nice “rebuttal” for Obama’s side-swipe sound bite. (Can you really do a “rebuttal” on a sound bite?).
I am glad McCain FINALLY had the stones to get a bit angry at one of the Democrats - perhaps he has turned a corner?
I liked McCains line:
“My grandfather, who commanded the fast carrier task force under Admiral Halsey, came home from the war exhausted from the burdens he had borne, and died the next day.”
Obama: “Well, my uncle...er.. great uncle?..well one of my relatives. They tell the story of him liberating some camp, er.. in Germany maybe? And he like moped around in the attic for awhile. That’s what I found on the internet ...I mean, that’s what my relatives tell me”
The Muslim militant doesn’t have any facts. Obama is an idiot. He didn’t know how many states we have or the difference between Memorial and Veterans day. Obama is a unpatriotic POS who should be running for office over in Kenya.
Okay, so probably a bastard also.
What’s the matter, you lib loser? Afraid your Marxist scum’s in trouble?
