Obama accuses McCain of 'losing his bearings' with comment
WOI-TV ^ | May 8, 2008

Barack Obama says that John McCain tried to "smear" him and was "losing his bearings" for suggesting that Hamas preferred Obama for president.

The Democratic presidential candidate told CNN that it's "offensive" and "disappointing" especially since McCain has said he's "not going to run that kind of politics."

McCain has raised questions about a Hamas adviser saying in an interview: "We like Obama and hope that he will win the election." The United States has labeled the Palestinian organization a terrorist group.

McCain said yesterday on "The Daily Show with John Stewart" that it shows how some enemies view America. He said "I guarantee you, they're not going to endorse me."

And a McCain adviser says Obama was referring to McCain's age with his "losing his bearings" comment.

At least Bill was smart enough to understand!

It sure as hell isn’t like I WANT the Marxist, Obama to be president!


You have to understand, the McCain supporters only have the position that McCain isn't as bad as the other guy, so they have to resort to petty name calling and false accusations accusing people who point the truth out to them that they must be voting for McCain.

They are frustrated and have compromised their principles because they feel he is the only option available to them and this only increases their frustration even more.

As a result, they act out their frustrations in childish actions.

“McCain team needs to attack both Obama and CNN for peddling this crap.”

But that would require McBoob to get mean against liberals. His base wouldn’t take too kindly to that.

I hope this thread doesn’t attract the usual 30 people who will declare for the 1000th time that they are too good and noble to vote for McCain.

I am sooooo tired of that.

If McCain wins and he will,you can expect the same insults for four years. I just think they are DUers or Kos visitors and consider the source.

"I hope McCain blows his stack over this "

He sure didn't when questioned about it on The Daily Show.

Absolutely.
And this isn't the first time Obama has done this. In speeches a month or so ago Obama kept using the word "old" when talking about McCain's policy positions.

I'm glad McCain has decided to run an "honorable" campaign - - it sounds like a sure way for McCain to set himself up like a punching bag. If McCain had any guts, he would make sure that America's senior citizens see what a disrespectful, young, smacked ass the inexperienced B. Hussein Obama is.

Wasn't Obama a Marine?

I'd like to see a thorough vetting of all his records.

No, Senator Obama never wore the uniform of the United States. I'd like to know if he registered for Selective Service (the draft) as he was legaly obligated to do, as he was born after December 31st, 1959.

Obama’s whole campaign is apparently going to be one long unbroken litany of “I’m offended’”.

My post # 76 is wrong. I mistook satire for fact. I’ve asked that it be deleted.

His post isn’t pro-Obama. Nor that of a radical leftie.

Unlike you two, he has several years of verifiable FReeperdom.
