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’s correct...McCain thinks he’s up against a professional politician.
Apparently though - Obama’s no more than a typical hood rat.
McCain is the one who supposedly has a “temperament” issue.
Obama seems to be the one who loses control - he is such a girl - it’s unbelievable.
As I recall, it was John Kerry who didn’t know what he was up against.
I’m not too thrilled with McCain, but I’m pretty sure Kerry’s not fit to kiss his patootie, and neither is Hussein Obama.
Good grief, what a f***stick this guy is.
More lipstick after your whine, Ms. Hussein?
And all that money isn't going to buy them the Presidency. It hasn't yet. I can't see it happening this time either.
Err...Snake’s jaw that is.
He’s becoming a wounded, frothing at the mouth, wild animal backed into a corner. What a drama queen.
Im not a big McCain fan but after spending 5 years in a POW camp and being tortured to the point that he cannot even now raise his arms above his shoulders....Im sure Obama just scares the shit out of him. lol
lol
LMAO! Thats funny.
Senator, you really shouldn’t write a check your, azz can’t cash.
Never bring an empty suit to a gun fight.

"I pity the fool"
. . . is a sanctimonious and petulant little . . .
Obama: You are not qualified to even run for this office. BTW, are you a citizen of the U. S. A.?
Golly, how did you ever find that video?
That is priceless!
