Oh, the irony (or, How quickly John McCain forgets)
I was doing some Goodsearching (www.goodsearch.com) of John McCain and stumbled upon an MSNBC article from January 2007 in which John McCain describes Americans as “frustrated and angry” (http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/16484446/). This is the same John McCain who criticized Barack Obama a couple weeks ago for saying Americans are “bitter.” I don’t know how McCain sees it (and I think it’s apparent even he doesn’t know how he sees it), but there is a very fine line between “frustrated and angry” and “bitter.”
Not that I’m pro-Obama (or, for that matter, pro-Clinton), but I am definitely anti-McCain and I don’t like hypocrisy. The man has shown he has a poor understanding of economics, as well as a poor grasp of his biggest campaign issue, the war in Iraq (does he understand yet the difference between Sunnis and Shiites?). Furthermore, he has demonstrated repeatedly a willingness to sell out his principles again and again if he believes it will give him a political advantage. Now, it is apparent to me that he also has a poor memory (actually, I knew of that a while ago) and possibly a shaky grasp of the English language.

I’d prefer sound clips never become campaign “issues”, but if they do, fair coverage is all I ask. Of course you know that will never happen, but great find anyway!

I totally agree, which is why I posted this. After all, it was McCain who decided to make it an issue.
Anyway, thanks for the comment…it’s the first I’ve gotten.
