McCain: "Who is Barack Obama?"
http://www.politico.com/blogs/jonathanmartin/1008/McCain_Who_is_Barack_Obama.html J
ohn McCain today picked up on what his campaign and running mate began over the weekend, using a campaign event in New Mexico to amp up his anti-Obama rhetoric.

McCain, at an event in Albuquerquem asked the same question that he's now featuring in commercials: "Who is the real Barack Obama?"

The goal is to sow doubts about the Democratic nominee, ostensibly about where he stands on policy issues. But such a question also has considerable resonance given Obama's newness to the national scene and the viral campaign taking aim at his race, religion and patriotism that has been flourishing online for a year now.

The strategy appears clear: McCain will raise the question to hammer Obama on policy, as he did today on the Democrat's ties to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac and hits on taxes, spending and health care. Meanwhile, Sarah Palin will do the dirtier work of using it to hit him on his past associations, notably with Bill Ayers. And should a third party appear on the landscape in the next month, they can go even further.


Simple answer: What the hell have you done with the Real John McCain? THe Real John McCain had more honor than this. The real John McCain promised a campaign on the issues, The real john McCain would never hide behind someone's skirt. The real John McCain would never be so erratic amd irrascible. The real John McCain would not be so politically addles. John you need to stop listening to your advisors and run the campaign you promised the American people.

5. I'm not sure if its a good idea to have your 72 year old out there asking "who is" questions.
Enough people already think of him as having alzheimers.

Easy enough to just play McSame saying: "Who is Obama?" and loop it to make him seem even more ready for Shady Pines Rest Home.
