McCain Accuses Obama of More Than Just Measuring the Drapes

(CBS)
From CBS News' John Bentley:

(MESILLA, N.M.) – “When I pull this thing off, I have a request for my opponent,” John McCain said at rally here today. “I want him to save that manuscript of his inaugural address and donate it to the Smithsonian, so they can put it right next to the Chicago paper that says ‘Dewey defeats Truman.’”

Taking aim squarely at what McCain’s campaign feels is the presumptiveness of Barack Obama, McCain was referring to a report in the New York Times that says John Podesta has already drafted an inaugural address for Obama.

“There’s ten days left in this election, maybe Barack Obama will even have his first State of he Union address ready before you head to the polls,” McCain continued. “I guess I’m a little old fashioned about these things. I’d prefer to let the voters weigh in before presuming the outcome.”

The Obama campaign says the charge is “completely false,” and points out that the address McCain is referring to appears in a book Podesta wrote before Obama was the nominee.

Does McCain EVER stop LYING?

He has lost all respect with his DESPERATE FABRICATIONS.

McCain has LOST ALL HONOR.

McCain has LOST ALL HONESTY.

McCain has LOST ALL DIGNITY.

Poor John Mccain. He is eaten up with envy. and he cannot talk about issues like the economy or war or healthcare or anything important....because he MUST be eaten up with his envy of Obama winning th election. Or.... maybe he really is worried about his arch enemy Palin, who is ready to rip flesh from his bones....his OWN running mate...how sad. She was simply floor dirt...and he gave her a chance....and she is now trying to rip him by the arteries. Poor dude, she is such a diva, and treats all that way. Reap what you sow, mccain. Stand to endure the attack of the pitbull. she will rip you apart and laugh at you...in her new expensive clothes and makeup. dogs sometimes have no loyalty.

McCain''s worried about Obama having a speech ready? McCain should be worried about the "rogue" Palin on the loose. McCain''s a maverick who doesn''t worry about such things as having a game plan, or choosing someone who wouldn''t turn tail and run on him if things got a little rough. It''s every person for themselves in McCainland!!!

Sarah Palin and her husband are traitors who are in bed with the group "FRINGE" who believes ALASKA should not be apart of America! McCain didn''t suspend his campaign for the economic crisis, he went to consult with Bush on how he should go after Obama. McCain already has the measurements for drapes, he''s been walking the halls for 25 years!

mikeant50 ........................... Oh you know that woman was put up to it. The Republicon party always can count on getting a nutcase to help push their agenda.

And as you can tell from the comments here, the GOP always has a large selection.

The gist of this report is that McCain has said something that Obama says is false. Don''t you find it odd that you don''t mention that McCain''s claim i is /i clearly false?

Barack Obama is a terrorist-supporting, Jew-hating Socialist who wants to destroy Israel and impose a dictatorship on America.

Posted by OneAmerican7

Yeah, right. That''s why Senator Obama spent an entire two days with the extreme pro-Israel group AIPAC a few months ago, and got standing ovations from them. I guess his "anti-semitism" is also why he stood up in Congress to oppose any efforts to get Israel to halt its attacks on Lebanese civilian areas two years ago. Yes, indeed, Senator Obama is anti-Israel. NOT.

HINT: If you''re going to make up sh*it about Senator Obama, do it on stuff that''s hard to find factual evidence that refutes it. Otherwise, stick to Faux News, and enjoy the fu*ck-fest they have over there, attacking all things not on the extreme right-wing.

I think McCain should be more worried if his running mate, Sarah Palin is measuring drapes for the Oval Office.

OneAmerican7,

Are you afraid of the melting pot become One Nation under God. America is many race, background, ethnicity and religion. Get use to it.

You have one track mind! Before you post anything why don''t you analyze it first?

Oh that''s funny John McCain. Going to be equally funny, and a little embarassing, when you lose isn''t it?

The Republican Party is not above lying and race baiting to steal this election. I am one who believe that the McCain campaign put Todd up to making those false claims about a black Obama supporter attacking her. They responded too quickly not to have first hand knowledge of this plot. Now Bush, McCain''s best friend is using the DOJ to try and suppress voter turnout in Ohio. I''m sure that this was also coordinated through the McCain campaign. It great that this country is ready to turn a corner. This election have torn the cover off and reveal the true Republican party. A party that only wants a American of color if they are willing to give up all they believe in.
