McCain attacks Obama for drafting inaugural speech - BRILLIANT response!

[Jackeens]

From the Fox website, of all places:

Bla, bla, bla - McCain sneered at Obama for having his inaugural speech drafted, as per the New York Times report.

Fox -

Obama spokesman Bill Burton chimed in with this zinger. “While this charge is completely false and there is no draft of an inaugural address for Senator Obama, the last thing we need is a candidate like John McCain who just plans on re-reading George Bush’s,” he said in a statement.

LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

5. McCain is out of his league. Obama's camp has the "zing"

factor with the soundbites.

Ah, life is good.

6. Big ole Batman POW! LOL. I heard Cain saying that in one of his rallies today and

it made me mad as hell. This was just after I read the NYT article about Obama writing his own speeches until 2 in the morning sometimes....

Mccain is a filthy, vile critter and I'm glad our team issued a big fat smack! He deserved it.

Earlier today, The New York Times “reported” that “Mr. Podesta has been mapping out the transition so systematically that he has already written a draft Inaugural Address for Mr. Obama, which he published this summer in a book called The Power of Progress.”

This is false.

Podesta published a book this summer, The Power of Progress, that was written with John Halpin. The book contains, as a literary conceit, a hypothetical inaugural address for a progressive president. The book was in the works for over a year, and the “inaugural address” section was submitted to the publisher in March before Obama was the nominee and when, indeed, Podesta was supporting Hillary Clinton’s campaign.

Nevertheless, CBS News reports:

Taking aim squarely at what McCain’s campaign feels is the presumptiveness of Barack Obama, McCain was referring to a report in the New York Times that says John Podesta has already drafted an inaugural address for Obama.

“There’s ten days left in this election, maybe Barack Obama will even have his first State of he Union address ready before you head to the polls,” McCain continued. “I guess I’m a little old fashioned about these things. I’d prefer to let the voters weigh in before presuming the outcome.”

The Obama campaign says the charge is “completely false,” and points out that the address McCain is referring to appears in a book Podesta wrote before Obama was the nominee.

11. A little off the subject but your thread reminded me of the Bush* promise

He has a Master's Degree and would run the Country like a business. And, truthfully, he did, he ran it exactly like he had run his other previous "businesses" -- all of which tanked.

12. McCain has a tendency to believe false stories. nt

[rebel with a cause]

32. They were talking about this on either MSNBC or CNN

today and the commentator said this was another blow to mccain because it showed that he was willing to accuse Obama of rumors that were not true, and that only the ignorant would believe it. They said it showed that mccain was weak and disorganized. Then they turned back to praising him again. ;)

22. $10 says Obama himself came up with that one, and passed on to all of his press people.

[DRoseDARs]

23. Think Progress has a piece up demonstrating how this charge is completely, utterly false.

And shows, once again, the thorough "vetting" process the McCain campaign conducts. Which is to say none.

24. Excellent response! Man, could these losers get any more pathetic?

They have nothing...NOTHING...but lies and fearmongering and smear tactics.
Losers. EPIC losers. EPIC failures. Pathetic.

[argyl]

25. Better chance sneaking daylight past a rooster than McCain's hacks topping Team Obama.

I love seeing these clowns getting thrashed by their own words as soon as they leave their lying mouths.

[stlsaxman]
