CLEVELAND - Sen. John McCain has perpetuated and allowed endless despicable remarks about his rival, Sen. Barack Obama in this hotly contested and emotionally charged Presidential election.What a no-class jerk.
McCain, 72 trails the Democratic nominee in national polls for the upcoming election by several points and has resorted to a relentless character assassination of Obama. This has encouraged many of his supporters to utter inflammatory remarks about the freshman senator from Illinois, something that McCain finally took a stand against on Friday.
"Senator Obama is not someone you need to be afraid of as President," said McCain at a Minnesota rally. "He's a decent, family man and I respect him very much." To me, this comes as too little, too late. McCain's conduct has been appalling, particularly in lieu of his VP running mate, Gov. Sarah Palin acting as "attack dog" at rallies, repeatedly painting him in unfavorable and often unfair lights.
By contrast, President Bill Clinton and his wife Hillary (D-N.Y.) have overcome the vitriol that spewed from their mouths just a few months ago during the Democratic primary when Sen. Clinton went head-to-head with Obama. They are currently campaigning for Barack, who's attempting to become the first African-American U.S. President. The Clintons have also stated, along with Democratic nominee Joe Biden that Obama is "what this country needs."
Since McCain's slogan is "Country First," we need to consider our country and not consider McCain as even a possibility for our 44th President.
