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.

This is so typical of our Demagogues - they are always trying to be far more forceful and “tough” in domestic partisan squabbles than they ever are against our enemies in the world.
Ooooh, Obambi, I am sure that John McCain is just so intimidated by you..... /s
Democrats squander all their energies in silly “make my day” moments against Republicans (and fellow Demagogues), so they can’t spare anything for actually standing up against America’s enemies.
I’ve got russians running around my brain - and I’m really irritated when I see a candidate for president behave like there’s nothing unusual going on lately.
"Took the life of 10 French soldiers"?
Mr. O is going ghetto big time, If he pulls this primary off, we will see alot more of this as well as his friends.
We will also see Michelle getting nastier. They (Mr & Mrs O) see McCain as an old white guy and think they can pull this crap. The DNC better put some reigns on him and soon. Remember he was a community organizer dealing with punks and gang bangers and then jumped right into the loving arms of Rev Wright. This man may just want a race war/riots etc, just like his friend pulled in Africa. He’s getting to the point that he doest see the forest beyond the trees and in behind those trees are alot of White people he will need.
Keep it up Bambi, you stupid loser. Even the DNC can probably see how far you’ve gone after Germany and they don’t like it. This idiots actions can destroy the entire party. We just need Dean out there pimping him up with his big mouth. Me think theys all be in big trouble now a days. Hope not us too!
LOL!
OH NO—Please don’t threaten to debate McCain again.
Ha!!
