McCain: "It's Tough In Some Respects" To be Proud Of America

So a man finally got a question into McCain and he had a very different sort of question. The questioner noted that he had been educated at Princeton and Harvard and made more than $300,000 a year. "How can I be proud of my country?" he asked....

"I'll admit to you that it's tough, it's tough in some respects," McCain said, seeming to lend credence to Michelle Obama's observation. McCain said America needed to be "more humble, more inclusive."

We should e-mail MSM networks like MSNBC and CNN and demand that they report this, in fairness. It would probably take a lot of heat off of Michelle for her so-called "unpatriotic" comments. They haven't so far (big surprise! *sarcasm*).

Damn right it's tought to be proud of a country run by thugs and criminals.

[blastocyst]

Which is why milquetoast yield benevolence. Exclusively. The timid known fondly of the source where they lead unto the comparison inevitably to Senator-elect Obadias wive.

Dammit! If Barack said this it would be war world 3.

[obamasOHangel]

You know it. There's a definite double standard where the O family is concerned.

[2liveNdie]

This has always been the case.

Do as I say not as I do should be the GOP slogan!!!

Republicans act as if they are the only patrons of this country that can protect and criticize this country!

As if those who are not of their party care less!!!

How dare you attack, how dare you the Democratic Party attack us the way we attack you?

America is no superpower we need to stop using this fantasy logo,
our forest is burning, our waters is poison, our children are killing themselves,
our dollar is at a all time low, our people are on drugs, our prisons are full,etc

my hands are starting to get tired

"Do as I say not as I do should be the GOP slogan!!!"

Apparently it is, especially where being "the party of Christian family values" are concerned:

"Family values" like the locals in THE HILLS HAVE EYES, but that's about it.

Eeyeeach.

Any time the repugnantcans use Michele O. comment about pride in America, we should use this one by McSame. but I understand his comment, it is hard to be proud when shrub is still prez.

The first thing Obama should do is start impeachment hearing for
Bush , Cheney and crew. Obama shouldn't worry about public opinion at
that point , he should do what it right, we need to shine a light of these
evil men in our country.

[bosshogg]

this is why ppl should not throw stones......................

[masterself]

This old dude is getting to be a complete joke,
the only people they are going to follow Mccain is those
white hard working american who are bitter and cling to
their gun and religion because they are mad at the world.

[kellygrrrl]

how stoopid is this fool that asked such a lame question?

everyone knows Ivy League Degrees are g@y!!!

duh!

;)

[masterself]

The republican have written off the black vote, i think Obama
should do the same and write off the red-neck group , u know
the ones that cling to their guns and religion.

I just love this guy. Such a natural at the Town Hall. He is in his element, they are really working for him.

He has been whining and foot stomping to get our Nominee to sign on to the Town Hall.

Hey McFlipFlop...the Town Halls are On! Lets get 10 of them out the way next week:

Monday-9am in Miami
6pm in St Paul

Tuesday-9am in Seattle
9 pm in Boston

Wednesday-9am in Los Angeles
6pm in Green Bay

Thursday-9am in San Diego
9pm in Bangor

Friday-9am in Fairbanks
9pm on San Antonio

Saturday...Concession Speech from Phoenix.

End of Town Halls.

And BTW...is the unbiased MSM going to run this traitorous comment on a loop? Hang it around his neck? Bring it up every time there is a photo of him? Bring it up every time his name is mentioned?

No? HHHHMMMMMM.....

[gladys46]

One (1) of Mc's handlers told him that town-hall mgts. were his strong points!! LMAO! Anyway, why would O entertain Mc's preceived "strong points" ... lest we forget, O thinks!

That dog don't hunt either Mc!!

[gladys46]

Correction: "perceived" as in .. in one's own psychosis!

[HopeGirl]

He can't do speeches, he is terrible in debates, he is a train wreck at the Town Hall...where does the press get that he is a darling?

He is the Darling of the FlipFlop Express, sitting around the fold up/fold down formica table-with the press gathered around like they are all on a National Lampoon's Vacation...

He must be a genius around that table to get the press to drool like they all had recent Electo-Shock Therapy...

This is going to be funny...

[lornejl]

I love this guy too !

testing testing, is " I love this guy too " the codeword ?

[lornejl]

I love this guy !

HuffPo sucks on weekends

I love this guy !

[HopeGirl]

are you OK?

[masterself]

Mccain is the king of flip-flop, boy it's going to be easy in
Nov, i saw in a nation wide pole Obama was beating Mccain
by 20 points , that pole will never see the time of day.

[masterself]

Town hall, one on one debate, long debate, short debate
it's won't make a different , Obama is going to kill Mccain in
any debate any where,
Obama is a cold glass of homemade ice tea on a summer day
while Mccain in a hot glass of sour milk on the same summer day.

[JRandomPoster]

Obama says he'll bring a gun to McCain's knife fight, and McCain instantly hands him the bullets.

[barackobama4prez]

I'm just waiting for him to say something that would be seen widely as anti-american.

[eden4barack08]

Gooood one!

[ajax2]

Psst, John, GW Bush is not America. He has brought Death, Debt, and Destruction. You should be proud of nothing he has done, nothing. Bush is the Anti-American, John.

[riverhouse]

He's trying hard to defeat himself. I feel sure there is someone out there putting all these video clips into O*bama ads as we speak.

[helonias]

I guess that that fellow knows about that rich man, camel, eye of needle kingdom of heaven thingee.

And is not proud of it.

[kellygrrrl]

Happy "Baby-Daddy" Day!!!!!!

[ErnestineBass]
