“The response from Senator Obama and his campaign yesterday was to attack Joe. People are digging through his personal life and he has TV crews camped out in front of his house. He didn’t ask for Senator Obama to come to his house. He wasn’t recruited or prompted by our campaign. He just asked a question. And Americans ought to be able to ask Senator Obama tough questions without being smeared and targeted with political attacks.”
McCain went on to say a lot of things he would do if elected president. He should add a line that says “If I’m elected president, citizens will be free to question their government and politicians without the fear of being retaliation from either the governement or the press.”
McCain needs to hammer this. Blue collars won't like the elitist liberals smearing Joe the Plumber.
