McCain responds to Obama, and then Obama responds to McCain

MCSAME speaking to the NRA:
"Earlier today, Sen. Obama made a few remarks I would like to respond to. I welcome a debate about protecting America. No issue is more important. Sen. Obama claimed all I had to offer was the ‘naive and irresponsible belief’ that tough talk would cause Iran to give up its nuclear program. He should know better. I have some news for Sen. Obama: Talking, not even with soaring rhetoric, in unconditional meetings with the man who calls Israel a ‘stinking corpse’ and arms terrorists who kill Americans will not convince Iran to give up its nuclear program. It is reckless to suggest that unconditional meetings will advance our interests."

"It would be a wonderful thing if we lived in a world where we don't have enemies. But that is not the world we live in, and until Sen. Obama understands that reality, the American people have every reason to doubt whether he has the strength, judgment and determination to keep us safe."

OBAMA via press release:
"What's reckless is continuing the Bush-McCain foreign policy that has cost us thousands of lives and a trillion dollars in Iraq, strengthened Iran, enabled Hamas to take Gaza, took our eye off al Qaeda, failed to capture Osama bin Laden, failed to finish the job in Afghanistan, and left us less safe and less respected in the world. No amount of utterly predictable fear-mongering and tough talk can change the fact that John McCain is running to continue the most disastrous foreign policy in recent American history."

1. Finally.

I had a feeling that Obama was holding back during the primaries. Hopefully this confirms my suspicion, and he'll take McCain's fucking head off.

2. Did you see how pissed Biden was? I loved it.

3. Yes he is going to unleash hell onto McCain. He held back against a fellow

democrat but, for McCain it will be open season. McCain is a moron.

4. Praise Jesus!

While I'm no fan of McCain, I would be a little happier if the GOP nominee was someone truly loathsome like Mittens or Giuliani. The idea of making one of those assclowns suffer is much more appealing to me.

But whatever. McCain it is. I'm sure by, say, August, I'll hate him just as much as those other guys.

5. But I feel Obama could take him "mano a mano"

and let's face it, to most of the voters in this country that's all that really matters. He is mas macho. And he has a strut! He is the anti-Kerry. Yeah! We finally found a macho Dem.
