I’m a bit late with this, but it only came to my knowledge this morning. During a town hall speech last week, Republican presidential nominee John McCain said, “I had the courage and the judgment to say I would rather lose a political campaign than lose a war. It seems to me that Obama would rather lose a war in order to win a political campaign.” Check out the footage:

Woooow! What a mean-spirited, desperate, assholish thing to say. He’s basically accusing Obama of treason and questioning his morals, character, patriotism, and manhood. According to McCain, Obama is so selfish that he values his quest for presidency over thousands of US and Iraqi lives. What a H.A.N.

Obama’s well crafted and articulated response:

Prior to his current presidential campaign, I had a lot of respect for John McCain. Back in 2000, I thought he might have made a better president than both Bush and Gore, although I ultimately supported Gore. I was 16 then, so it didn’t really matter anyway. I also lauded his bipartisan efforts over the past few years. My respect for him has lessened over the course of this campaign and with this statement, it has damn near hit rock bottom.

In closing, my frat brother sent me this dope video that compiles some of McCain’s missteps and attempts at manipulation.
