Obama: McCain Is "The Past"
BALTIMORE -- Barack Obama said today that Republican John McCain is on the wrong side of history.
"We are the party of tomorrow, he's the party of yesterday. He's the past, we're the future," Obama said. Since McCain became the presumptive Republican nominee, Obama has ratcheted up his criticism of him, referring to McCain at every campaign stop.
Obama said that he can take on the Republicans in general elections, joking that he's "skinny but tough."
"Don't mess with me! Let them bring it on, who they got, John McCain? I respect John McCain for his half century of service but he's on the wrong side of history right now," Obama said.
Obama stopped at a coffee shop in Silver Spring, Maryland on his way to the Baltimore event. He told reporters that he feels good about the Maryland primary tomorrow and that he hopes to reschedule his meeting with John Edwards. It was previously reported that Obama would meet with Edwards tonight in North Carolina.
