Obama calls on McCain to acknowledge his patriotism
Obama tries to push back McCain's shots at his character, without impugning McCain's, in a speech to veterans today. In particular, he's demanding that McCain call him a patriot -- forcing the direct question to a candidate who, at times, shies away from his own harsh attacks; and pressing a storyline Obama likes: That McCain is Mr. Negative.
From the prepared remarks:
But one of the things that we have to change in this country is the idea that people can't disagree without challenging each other's character and patriotism. I have never suggested that Senator McCain picks his positions on national security based on politics or personal ambition. I have not suggested it because I believe that he genuinely wants to serve America's national interest. Now, it's time for him to acknowledge that I want to do the same.

McCain to BO: “I’m sorry you’re not a patriot.”
McCain, “OK, I’m acknowledging my patriotism.”
For Obama, who is one of the most incompetent candidates in history, to be able to beat him soundly speaks volumes.
Where is the photo of Hillary and Chubs (Richardson) where Obama refuses to put his hand over his heart.
Obama is a Marxist. Read your history. Change is Marxist code for destroying capitalism and having the state control everything.
LOLOL! What’s he going to say when Hillary b@tch slaps him at the convention? Michelle! Make her stop!
Sorry, Hussein, patriotsim is something that speaks for itself...them more you demand others to recognize yours, the more it is obvious you have none.
Again....McCain is the man, Obama the boy!
You're NO patriot Bambi
How can any Democrat stomach this infant!
a Patriot is defined as someone who loves his country and supports its interests.
Bambi and his wife do not love the country as it is (it needs to be more “fair”, ie, socialist),
and they certainly don’t support it acting in its interests overseas.
Gads, this keeps getting better and better. I hope that SNL hires the Obama staff after he looses. They need the humor.
If Obama requires personal validation from the other candidate, then he is truly a wimp.
Keyes is far too fond of his own speechifying to take sufficient notice of the other candidate.
“Respect my authority!” -Cartman
Beyond, as in "infant-like"? "New-born"? Well, better use the vacuum hose on Senator Hussein that he voted for.
“The lady doth protest too much, methinks.”
Ah, but the sad thing is McCain will probably do it!
