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.

Is Obama going to use the Chicago tactics on him?
Now, is that any way to treat a Harvard education?
Sounds like a show on MTV.

ROFLMAO!!!!
In other words if they repeat the lie enough it will stick.
I guess McCains folks have to spell it out for the dope.
The man has already been held prisoner and tortured by fascists (other than Democrats)...what the hell does this lightweight think he’s going to do to that’s new?
Has any national-level Democrat had a “new idea” since before FDR?
Is that - like - a threat? What the heck does that mean? This man is off his rocker...I’m telling you...we may witness a complete nervous breakdown before this is over. He’s unstable...Or...perhaps they’re making him give up cigarettes and he’s just TESTY!
Cotton's reply to Obama: Boy, I gutted Japanese who whined less than you!
It’s Obama that doesn’t know what he is up against. The 527’s haven’t even started yet and the Age Of Youtube is upon us.
NONE of us know what we’re up against. All the records are sealed off and there is a very thin resume. On that, Barry is right. Oh, and we don’t know the puppetmasters either. Ah, but we sure have his number; we know the type and lest he cry racism, I’m talking about the marxist leftie type.
Corsi's book said there's no film or recording of the 2002 speech in Chicago where BO was warmer-upper for Jesse Jackson. Wonder what he really said ?
Has Obambi accepted any of those townhall meetings yet?
I didnt think so.
He is full of crap.
As I have said on other threads - this guy wouldn’t know a trap if he walked into one. We are at number 4 and counting.
No kidding. The tough guy act isn’t too believable when the punchline is “now please stop making fun of me, or else I’ll whine some more.”
Awww, he looked like such a weeny about the Russian situation that he has to blow a little bluster to try and appear like a bada&&.
It didn’t work, he sounds ridiculous “You don’t know who your messing with”. Goober.
He’s becoming completely unhinged.
