No more hugs as Obama tears into McCain [Barf Alert]
AP ^ | BETH FOUHY

So much for hugging in church.

A day after Barack Obama and John McCain exchanged an embrace during a faith forum at a California megachurch, Obama called the U.S. economy a disaster thanks to "John McCain's president, George W. Bush," and chided his Republican rival's campaign team for trying to make him look unpatriotic and weak.

If anything, McCain has been too soft on you, Hussein. Stop whining.

Maybe Barry finallly figured out ‘when life started’ and he decided that it had something to do with Bush/Cheney and he is against it.

McCain didn’t have to try to make him look unpatriotic and weak. He accomplished that all by himself!

Obambi is apparently too stupid to realize that the reason Independents liked him in the first place was he seemed to be a guy who would take a bi-partisan approach to governing.

His recent actions have certainly shattered that myth for them. He has exposed himself as nothing more than an inexperienced partisan hack.

We here on FR always knew it, but now the rest of America is finding it out as well.

It’s amazing how this clown keeps shooting himself in the foot. His big mouth keeps overloading his @$$. He is McCain’s secret weapon to win in November.

So I guess that change to a gentler, kinder American where campaigns rise above politics of attack was just a phony cover. Now there’s a shocker. /s

My teenage daughter just saw the “above my pay grade” remark.

She said, “If he can’t decide whether or not to kill babies who can’t speak, he has no right to decide to kill adults. He’s a moron.”

Don't see how anyone could possibly reach that conclusion.

THe McCain camp need to find a way to strip him of his "uniter" label.

Here is a man who is, by happenstance, half white, half black, half muslim half christian, so he is in a perfect position to to reach out to all those cultures - so what does he do?

He REJECTS his white heritage and he DISOWNS his muslim education. Uniter? I don't think so..

Even so, Obama stepped to McCain's defense when a voter criticized his Vietnam era record. A Naval aviator, McCain spent 5-1/2 years as a prisoner of war there after being shot down and badly wounded.

So the AP touts Obama's "graciousness" for defending criticism of McCain's Vietnam military service and yet neglects to actually report what the criticism was. Not to mention that earlier in the article the AP mentions Obama's accusation that McCain is claiming that Obama (and his fellow Dems) are not patriotic ie. macho enough when it comes to national defense/foreign policy. That is...on Saturday McCain's service and patriotism are beyond reproach. Then Sunday McCain is following "McCain's President, Bush" and thus every scurilous charge of anti-patriotism leveled at W, Cheney and Pubbies in general can be reincarnated. Hypocrite.

Obama & AP...whatever.

"John McCain's president, George W. Bush"

How does Obama expect everybody to respectfully accept his possible presidency (God forbid!) if he himself can refer to W as "McCain's President" and thus, by inference, not his President?

“John McCain’s president, George W. Bush”

Hey, b. hussein, last I checked, GWB is America’s president. Or is BHO now publicly disavowing being an American?

Yes, McCain does need to get tougher, but he’s finally begun to do it, albeit gradually. Very tricky this one, as Hillary learned! The real heavy lifting will HAVE to be done by surrogates and many others, as McCain needs to gain more likability factor and, as we’ve all seen, to criticize the Annointed One (even justifiably, on anything) always, always backfires. Reverse discrimination is alive and well.

It’s absolutely infuriating - I pray nightly that the American people are as smart as I believe - and will reflect it in the voting booths.

Agreed.
That is San Fran radical talk.

I guess Obama has a different President then McCain and the rest of us.

Obama is starting to crack. :D

I agree. He is having a crackup. He attacked that guy from CBN last night after the Saddleback gig and now this. It appears as though he doesn't do well under pressure.
