Umm, I'm pretty sure McCain himself has said he might have to cut social security and medicare, so how is Obama a liar or distorting anything by pointing that out?

1. McCain's on defense. And he's bringing up issues that are not in his favor.

Keep it in the news cycle, Johnny!

5. I suppose the only question is why he'd do something so stupid.

He proposed cuts, it's not a lie to talk about them.

2. Facts don't matter. C'mon Johnny boy

tell the world how you'll pay for it. "I might not answer the qwuestion the way you want me to, but I'll talk straight to the American people." End of story. No follow up.

3. With so many lies & spin it's got to be incredibly difficult to keep track...

It's so much better and easier to not lie in the first place but I guess with his brain turning to mush he's forgotten that old expression, "Oh what a tangled web we weave when first we practice to deceive."

4. Someone should just tell him and Caribou Barbi to STFU, and stop their lying! n/t

6. Obama's ad will have to quote mccain directly

if they haven't already.
