Barack Obama denies preparing his inauguration speech

BARACK Obama rejected yesterday claims that he was so confident of winning the White House he had already started writing his inauguration speech.

He returned in fighting form to his US presidential campaign after an emotional mercy dash to farewell his dying grandmother.

Republican presidential nominee John McCain, who faces almost impossible odds to win the election in nine days, launched a spirited attack on Senator Obama yesterday, claiming he was arrogantly taking the election for granted.

He seized on a New York Times report suggesting that Senator Obama's team was already preparing the groundwork for his new administration.

"Senator Obama's inaugural address is already written," Senator McCain told voters in Mesilla, New Mexico.

"I'm not making it up. A lot of voters are undecided, but he's decided for them.

"I may be old-fashioned about these things, but I prefer to let the voters weigh in."

Senator Obama's spokesman, Bill Burton, hit back, saying: "While this charge is completely false and there is no draft of an inaugural address for Senator Obama, the last thing we need is a candidate like John McCain, who just plans on re-reading George Bush's."

This is absolutely the truth.

He’d be half right if Bill Ayers is writing it as I suspect.

Damn that’s a gross picture. It reminds me of Kerry pictures, one in particular where one FReeper captioned it “Donkey Teeth.” LOL.

A lot of voters are undecided, but he's decided for them.

It's already been proven he's decided that they'll donate to his campaign and already cast their ballots for himself so why not have Billyboy write the speech for him.

I believe him. The guy didn't even write his own autobiography.

All candidates have written for them, an inauguration speech and a loser's speech. This is not news.

The Obama campaign knows that it's Obama's own ego is pissing people off, that's why they have to address the issue (and call McCain a liar).

Charging the MSM money to attend the Obama's Victory celebration can't be winning him any Brownie points either.

In one of his speeches he said “ when I take office on Nov 5th...” Talk about cocky.
