“I have not suggested it because I believe he genuinely wants to serve America's national interests. Now it is time for him to acknowledge that I want to do the same”

No one should acknowledge ones so-called patriotism if the deeds don't warrant. Voting not to fund the troops is not patriotism. Hanging around characters that bombed the Pentagon is not patriotism. Sitting in the pews listening to some pastor claiming God has damned America is not patriotism. None of what Obama has done is considered patriotic and nothing he has done serves American's best interest.
John McCain is not required by any standard to vouch for Obama and if he did that would make McCain a liar. Obama is doing a fine enough job destroying any veneer of patriotism he claimed to have.

What the heck? I mean really, what heck? Here's what he'll be saying next:

• I admit that John McCain has the experience to be President, now he must say the same thing about me
• I admit that John McCain served his country with bravery, now he must say the same about me
• I admit that John McCain won the Saddleback Forum. Now he must say the same about me.
• I admit the John McCain is not a race-baiting pandering neophyte who has no accomplishments and precious little experience. Now he must say the same about me!

It's not McCain's job to shower compliments on you Obie. Grow a spine you wuss.
