Title: Obama Twists John McCain's Words (YouTube)
Post by: Chris_ on April 19, 2008, 09:25:50 AM
Obama gets busted making phony claims in a speech in Erie, PA last week...

SEN. OBAMA: "And on the domestic front just yesterday John McCain went on televsion.  I want to get this right... John McCain went on television and said that there has been, quote "great progress economically over the last seven and a half years".  John McCain thinks our economy has made great progress under George W. Bush."

SEN. MCCAIN: "Certainly, in this time, we are in very challenging times. We all recognize that. Families are sitting around the kitchen table this evening and figuring out whether they're going to be able to keep their home or not. They're figuring out whether they're - why it is that suddenly and recently someone in their family or their neighbor has lost their job. There's no doubt that we are in enormous difficulties."

"I think if you look at the overall record and millions of jobs have been created, et cetera, et cetera, you could make an argument that there's been great progress economically over that period of time. But that's no comfort. That's no comfort to families now that are facing these tremendous economic challenges."

I have a lot of problems with McCain's politics. But McCain the man? I applaud him for his service.

I have my share of gripes as well.  voting against the bush tax cuts, the gang of 14, mccain-feingold . . . .

he certainly seems to have mended his bridges with conservatives in the past month or so, though.
