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."

I agree--very Reaganesque!!!

I'd like to see some law-enforcement-types do a commercial about Bill Ayers--and the type of threat that terrorists like Ayers (and their friends like Obama) pose to the US.

The McCain campaign has noticed the value of regularly poking Obama with a stick to make him hiss.

Obama’s thin skin seems to get thinner all the time. Not a good trait in a politician. Pretty soon he’ll be yelling “Who you callin “boy”, old man?” The RATS are having a harder and harder time covering up his incompetence.

What is Baramas deal?
He goes buggy in attacking McCain and brings up the Paris Hilton thing again weeks after people had forgotten about it.

“Man I dont have time for that mess”

Well, Barama you just refreshed everyones memory,and beyond all that, I dont get “why” it pisses him off so much.

He was the first person to equate his celebrity status to Paris.

Something is eating at the boy and McCain knows it! L0L

Yup, the McCain camp has discovered that it is damned easy and really pretty funny. Frying ants with a magnifying glass isn't nearly as amusing (for one thing, the ants are smarter than Obambi's advisers).

In addition to being a militant anti-American, and abject marxist, and unable to compose more than a single sentence when off the teleprompter...Obama is proving to be a thin-skinned whiner.

OBama is thin skinned because he thinks his world view is the one true way and anyone against him is just a stupid, ignorant bother.

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

McCain does so remind me of Truman, his size, walk, style...it is amazing. Right now McCain exudes that famous leftist media thing called GRAVITAS. Obambi is a rude, pompous, bratty kid throwing tantrums.

Romney has a way of cutting you up in such a respectful way you don’t figure it out for five minutes.

Yes. Despite his Drive-By-Media-created image as some sort of pious Mormon prig, Romney, like McCain, has a wicked sense of humor.

And that plays with America wayyyyyy better than a campaign which tries to make its candidate some sort of pre-ordained deity.

That McCain is a racist. Today he says, “testy”, which ends in “y” just like “uppity”. It’s a racist code letter for sure.

"I have never suggested that Sen. McCain picks his positions on national security based on politics or personal ambition. I have not suggested it because I believe that he genuinely wants to serve America's national interest. Now, it's time for him to acknowledge that I want to do the same."

Because such an accusation would make no sense.

McCain then pressed his attack. "Washington is full of talented talkers," McCain said. "The bottom line is that Sen. Obama's words, for all their eloquence and passion, don't mean all that much."

Zing!!!!

Obama: Doesn't know much. Hasn't done much. Let's make him president!!
