McCain live on CNN....3:12 PM CDT
wolf asks him what he'd do the first day in office

he's going to take recorded questions from average jamokes

will wolf ask him about LYING about the Anbar Awakening/Surge timetable?

will he follow up when McCain lies, which he's unable NOT to do?

2. Hard to believe Wolf is actually going after him.
McCain is dancing around. Interesting.

4. good. I'm taping it.
McCain is SUCH a bad liar

the lies, of course, will be ignored by the rest of the M$M, and the scurillous charges against Obama repeated without caveat

5. His "attacks" on Obama's Iraq position are LAME ...
Just because Obama won't kiss Bomb Bomb's ass about his
beloved "surge" is no reason to brand Obama's approach
as "failure."

Old, mean, crusty bastard ... I'm just waiting for his
meltdown moment, which I'm sure isn't far away.

7. You might consider them lame but the Obama team needs to kill the Obama
is to inexperienced to be CIC meme now. And they need to expose McCain for how wrong he was on the Iraq War.

9. I'm surprised none of Obama's surrogates (hello, Joe Biden!) are doing this
The candidate is overseas and doing a great job of making
the case for himself (that he HAS passed that CIC test), but
I'm surprised he doesn't have people back home defending
him against Bomb Bomb's attacks ... Kerry did some defense
yesterday but Obama needs all hands on deck right now!

6. The Obama camp or DNC needs to start hitting back and hitting back
Edited on Fri Jul-25-08 03:28 PM by Skwmom
hard. Take the earlier statements on the war and expose him for the idiot that he is.

10. ugh. Glad I missed it.
This was Talking Points Memo's summary-

McCain on CNN
Sen. McCain's made a series of pretty extraordinary statements on his interview on CNN. First, apparently Maliki didn't really mean what he said. Second, Wolf Blitzer read back to McCain his repeated claim that Obama would rather lose a war if it helped him win a political campaign. This is close to an accusation of treason. So Blitzer asked him whether this wasn't an attack on Obama's patriotism. McCain said 'no' that he was only questioning Obama's judgment. In any rational world the maverick label wouldn't survive a fib of that magnitude.

Perhaps best of all McCain appeared to embrace Maliki's timeline for withdrawal, but said there was no conflict with that also being Obama's timeline for withdrawal, because Maliki's was based on conditions and Obama's wasn't.

Last but not least, Blitzer asked McCain if it didn't make sense to scrutinize McCain's judgment in going to war in the first place if he's placing so much emphasis on scrutinizing Obama's judgment on the surge. McCain's answer, in so many words, that's old news.

We'll bring you video shortly.
