McCain Rails on Obama
Okay, I think we know one of Senator John McCain’s main talking points and that he will have this one for at least another couple of months. According to McCain, Senator Barack Obama– the product of a single, working-class mother– is elitist and out of touch with America. But where did Barack Obama do his community organizing? Probably in some ritzy neighborhood, like the South Side of Chicago. I don’t see how this line will work, but more power to him.
McCain has also asked demanded that Obama condemn former president Jimmy Carter for meeting with Hamas. McCain is doing two things with this jab. He is trying to put doubts in the minds of American Jews that Obama will not support Israel in the clutch. He is also trying to stir something up within the Democratic party.
As far as I know, Carter is a private citizen, so he is allowed to go where ever he can afford to go. I think it is a smart move for Carter to go to the Middle East; No other president has made bigger strides toward peace in the region than him (but Clinton comes second in my book). The current president is in a distance 30th place. As a matter of fact, I think that it can be argued that he has done more harm than good.
By the way, how out of touch can you be when 1.3 million Americans have donated to your campaign, like they have done for Obama? Does McCain have even half that many donors?
