Way To Go! Obama Gives Them Hell At The VFW Today
TPMCafe —
This is just terrific.
Obama takes McCain on over the patriotism issue. He's strong, and tough, and angry. In short, he gets it exactly right.
This is the Obama we need to see at the convention. Anger is appropriate, and necessary, when dealing with McCain's slurs. It is equally appropriate and necessary in dealing with the mess the Republicans have made of this country over the last eight years.
Give 'em hell, Barack. It's the way to win, the only way. And it's right.
I'm glad to see you have it in you. Use it!
"Let me be clear. I will let no one question my love of this country."

Not going to let us question him? Why that's unAmerican in itself!

McCain: "I'm Not Questioning His Patriotism"
Who's Wrong Today —
McCain, responding to Obama's remarks responding to McCain's claims that Obama would rather lose the war than lose an election: How do you say that someone would rather lose the war than lose an election, and then say that you aren't questioning his patriotism? McCain wants to have it both ways. He wants to attack Obama using inflammatory claims, but paint himself as above the fray at the same time. I'm not buying it. Wrong Rating: 1 out of 4 (spin)
