A combative Barack Obama said Tuesday that Republican John McCain "doesn't know what he's up against" in this election and challenged his rival to stop questioning his character and patriotism.
Obama, campaigning in a state where he hopes to become the first Democratic presidential candidate to win in more than three decades, implored his supporters to fight for the presidency.
"Our job in this election is not just 'win,' although I'm a big believer in winning," Obama said during the rally. "I don't intend to lose this election. John McCain doesn't know what he's up against."
"He can talk all he wants about Britney (Spears) and Paris (Hilton), but I don't have time for that mess," Obama said.
His remarks carried forward a theme of feisty campaigning he debuted earlier in the day.
Addressing the Veterans of Foreign Wars convention in Orlando, Fla., Obama reaffirmed his early opposition to the U.S. invasion of Iraq and said the strategy of sending in 30,000 additional troops last year had not produced the political reconciliation necessary to achieve lasting peace in the country.
McCain supported the Iraq invasion and was an early champion of the surge.

“Obama: McCain ‘doesn’t know what he’s up against’”
I’d say after Saddleback McCain has a reall good idea what he’s up against and I doubt that he is sweating it.
i’m sure john knows that he’s up against an empty suit
It sure would be nice if Obama were a little more worried about PUTIN than he is about being compared to Paris Hilton.
Holy smokes!
The cold war is back on, and he’s still whining about an ad from 3 weeks ago?
Once again, Obama proves he is obsessed with himself while actual -like - uh, uh - important stuff is going on in the world.
McCain's very existence questions Obama's patriotism. Barry cannot even begin to measure up, and he knows it. Were Barry in a prison camp, he'd sell out his own grandmother to save his sorry self.
LOL
Nice pictures
You didn't have enough time to visit wounded soldiers in Germany either. You shunned them after a promised visit, and lifted weights instead, you paragon of American patriotism.
Sounds like a threat to unleash his angry black militant wife Michelle on McCain
(How long did it take to) Find a candidate who can get away with lying about their father being a ‘freedom fighter’ when he was actually part of the most corrupt and violent government in Kenya’s history.
Find a candidate with close ties to The Nation of Islam and the violent Muslim overthrow in Africa, a candidate who is educated among white infidel Americans but hides his bitterness and anger behind a superficial toothy smile. Find a candidate who changes his American name of Barry to the Muslim name of Barack Hussein Obama, AND DARES ANYONE TO QUESTION HIS TRUE TIES UNDER THE BANNER OF ‘RACISM’.
Nurture this candidate in an atmosphere of anti-white American teaching and surround him with Islamic teachers. Provide him with a bitter, racist, anti-white, anti-American wife, and supply him with Muslim middle east connections and Islamic monies.
Allow him to be clever enough to get away with his anti-white rhetoric and proclaim he will give $834 billion taxpayer dollars to the Muslim controlled United Nations for use in Africa.
Install your candidate in an atmosphere of deception, BECAUSE QUESTIONING HIM ON ANY ISSUE INVOLVING AFRICA OR ISLAM WOULD BE SEEN AS ‘BIGOTED RACISM’; TWO WORDS TOO POWERFUL TO ALLOW THE CITIZENRY TO BE INFORMED OF THE FACTS.
Allow your candidate to employ several black racist Nation of Islam Louis Farrakhan followers as members of his Illinois Senatorial and campaign staffs.

It’s right up there with “do you know who I AM?”
Read McCain’s own personal account of his torture in a Viet
Nam prison here:
All fez, no goats.
Google Obama’s ‘Quiet Riot’ speech.
McCain doesn’t know what he’s up against...
Perhaps if Obama would show up for a townhall debate McCain would find out. {snicker}
"If you can spare the hours,
I can tells ya why I cowers,
at the mention of McCain.
If I was any good at thinkin'
you might think that I was Lincoln,
if I only had a brain!"
"I can hear the right wing mutters,
that all I does is stutters,
'cause I did too much cocaine!
If I could give a simple answer,
I wouldn't be the artful dancer,
if I only had a brain!"
ROTFLMAO
Oh yeah. That’s Obama alright. LOL
lol...Cotton would be the only one on this planet who would dare address Michelle Obama as “Hello, Barry’s Wife!”
But he's still an empty suit.
