McCain chides a newly feisty Obama as 'testy'
AP via SFGate ^ | 8/20/8 | LIZ SIDOTI, Associated Press Writer

Republican presidential candidate John McCain chided his Democratic rival on Wednesday for getting "a little testy" as Barack Obama sharpened his tone amid a tightening White House race that gets nastier by the day.

"I honor his service. I don't honor his policies. I don't honor his politics," Obama said, taking on his GOP opponent with renewed vigor while some Democrats fret that their candidate has not been aggressive enough.

Both candidates also unveiled fresh attack advertisements ahead of their back-to-back national conventions.

Trying anew to tie McCain to the unpopular President Bush, Obama's TV commercial asks: "Can we really afford more of the same?" It slams McCain's tax plan as a giveaway for big corporations and oil companies. McCain's radio ad claims: "Celebrities like to spend their millions. Barack Obama is no different. Only it's your money he wants to spend."

“McCain chides a newly feisty Obama as ‘testy’”

As though “feisty” was ever used to describe anything other than tiresome feminists and cats with distemper...the headline-writer for crAP didn't do Zerobama any favors with that choice.

So far McCain has got Obama in a box running back and forth and slamming his head into the wall each way.

Unfortunately, the “testier” the Messiah gets, the less Messiah-like he seems.

The teflon is wearing off and there’s nothing underneath but another grubby pol.

Let’s hope McCain keeps showing his humor. Humor was one of Pres Reagan best weapons!!!

Short, sweet, and to the point.

Put a rat in a coffee can with no way to get out and it’ll do the same thing.

The Anointed One will end up like Horace Greeley did after the 1872 loss to U. S. Grant - go gibbering mad and die within a week.
