He did. You obviously didn't see it, but the McCain campaign came out with a wonderfully hard hitting rebuttal of everything BHO said including his snide "losing his bearings" comment.

It wasn't in the MSM...suprised?

I haven't got the link now, but will post it if I come across it tomorrow....right now, bed.

I know the “lesser of two evils” argument. But the GOP is in sad shape when the successor to “give-away-the-store” Bush is McCain. And I truly believe he is nuts, nasty, and begrudges most in his own party.

That does not mean I like Obama or Clinton. I will be interested to see who McCain picks for VP. Also, I want to see what rallying cry he uses to regain public interest/trust in the Republican party down the ticket.

This is really a funny issue. Obama accuses McCain of losing his bearings for simply restating the question that the Obama blogger asked him about the Hams endorsement of Obama. While at the same time, Obama is firing one of his foreign policy advisors who has been meeting with Hamas on a regular basis.

Obama’s accusations about McCain are simply a diversion from the Hamas endorsement. An Obama operative tried to set McCain up for the hit by Obama, by asking McCain what he thought about the Hamas endorsement. McCain hesitated before answering and then said, that I guess we all know who Hamas prefers to be the US president. That’s it, no remarks about it at all.

At the same time that this was going on, Obama was doing damage control by firing his foreign policy advisor who had been meeting with Hamas numerous times.

It’s not going to work, McCain never said anything. Obama has stepped in it again and is trying to blame McCain.

McCain didn't raise the question about the Hamas endorsement, though, an Obama operative asked McCain the question about Hamas, trying to set McCain up for the Obama attack as a diversion. In the meantime, Obama fired his foreign policy adviser who has been meeting with Hamas. The story was on WSJ- Best of the Web, yesterday

Obama Fires Foreign Policy Adviser for Meeting With Hamas May 09, 2008 7:57 PM The Times of London reports that Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., has fired one of his foreign policy advisers -- Robert Malley -- for meeting with the Palestinian group Hamas, which the U.S. State Department classifies as a terrorist organization.

"He was one of literally hundreds of informal, outside advisors," Obama spokesman Bill Burton told ABC News, confirming the Times account.

Malley, a former official in the administration of former President Bill Clinton, is Middle East and North Africa program director for the International Crisis Group, a conflict resolution group.

“I’ve never hidden the fact that in my job with the International Crisis Group I meet all kinds of people,” Malley told the Times. Malley has been a criticized in the past as insufficiently supportive of Israel -- the New Republic's Marty Peretz has defended Obama as pro-Israel but assailed Malley -- though several Clintonistas have defended him from the charge.

He participated in the failed 2000 Camp David accords and said that Yasser Arafat was not the only one to blame for those talks breaking down. ** Se

Obama's campaign responded :Clearly losing one's bearings has no relation to age, given this bizarre rant that Mark Salter just sent out.

McCain's people need to learn how to function in the '00s, the age of the 30-second soundbite.

Given what Rove and his people did to McCain in 2000 in South Carolina, McCain has ever reason to be nasty and begrudge most in the GOP.

I would be willing to bet that Bush never apologized for what was done to McCain on his behalf.

Moderators should consider banning pro-Obama people. Since when are we radical lefties?

I agree. The hard-core Rooty-tooters were banned. The people that slap McCain and praise Obama should be as well.

McCain may be less than a desirable candidate. But if people are allowed to trash him during the run up to the general election, the Obama trolls are going to own FR.
