McCain, Obama go at it on radio

McCain, in his own weekly radio address he has started, again pokes fun at Obama's reputation as a sterling orator --and suggests he lacks substance.

"As you may know, the Democratic National Convention is just a couple of weeks away. It was four years ago, at the same gathering, that America heard a fine speech from an Illinois state senator named Barack Obama. He's done pretty well for himself since then. And the smart money in Denver is on another celebrated performance," McCain says. "But even the most stirring speeches are easily forgotten when they're short on content. Taking in my opponent's performances is a little like watching a big summer blockbuster, and an hour in realizing that all the best scenes were in the trailer you saw last fall. In the way of running mates, Senator Obama should consider someone with a knack for brevity and directness, to balance the ticket."

"In the meantime, let me take a stab at a plot summary of the Obama campaign: America is finally winning in Iraq, and he wants to forfeit. Government is too big, and he wants to grow it. Taxes are too high, and he wants to raise them. Congress spends too much, and he proposes more. We need more energy, and he's against producing it."

1. does anyone get the sense that when McCain is by himself and talking to nobody, he is talking about

Obama?

[CatBO]

4. Yeah like when he's alone in the shower...

McCain is a perverse old man, and he's a little too obsessed with Obama and twenty-something girls.

[ErinBerin84]

6. maybe he has a little Obama doll who he talks to.

[peoli]

2. McCrypt - LOL!

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

8. Agreed. Instant classic.

3. This is all apart of McCain's new campaign plan to turn Obama into a joke

[Connie_Corleone]

11. But, won't people get sick and tired of hearing McCain complaining about Obama's popularity?

People will start wondering what the hell is McCain going to do for the country.

[Heather MC]

12. They are hoping WE or Rather HIS Supporters will be too stupid to notice

He is also hoping all the same illegal tactics that got Bush elected will work for him. So he doesn't have to work as hard to get elected.
Work Hard meaning run a campaign of substance not fluff

5. WHERE'S VICKIE ISEMAN????

Answer us, you shriveled old man - or SHUT THE HELL UP!!

[TwilightGardener]

13. I don't know, someone better start dragging ponds and checking crawl-spaces.

I've never heard of a woman accused of having an affair with a Presidential candidate being able to disappear so completely from public scrutiny.

7. hey old man....stfu already!

if this asshole gets elected it will prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that the system is rigged and we might as well install manual noriega as maximum leader for life

[Seen the light]

9. Wait....so he's comparing Senator Obama to The Dark Knight?

Is that really the comparison he wants out there? Because...The Dark Knight was awesome. :)

[Barack_America]

17. And got a lot of votes...er...money. nt

[Thrill]

10. McCain is arrogant. Wonder why the media never calls him that?

[HannibalBarca]

14. A poor analogy

The Dark Knight is a summer blockbuster and it has depth and meaning, you fail again John.

15. McCain and his campaign is really obsessed that Obama is drawing big crowds.

Then, like any good Republican campaign does, they try to turn an asset into a liability.

On his best days, McCain couldn't fill a stadium of enthusiastic fans the way Obama has and it just eats his campaign up inside.

The only time he speaks to more than a few dozen people is when he crashes a biker reunion and offers to enter his wife in a "show us your tits" contest. Like those bikers came to listen to McCain put together a series of incoherent sentences.

[Barack_America]

16. I don't get it. Is the ballot box also the boxoffice in this analogy?

If so, summer blockbusters sure get a lot of votes. Particularly among the people McCain would consider his base.

What a stupid comparison to make.

And I somehow doubt that McCain himself is a big fan of the low-budget indie flicks.
