Obama: McCain Campaign 'Just Making Stuff up'

@ 6:21 pm by Andy Barr

Barack Obama accused John McCain's campaign of  "just making stuff up" during a campaign stop Friday near Scranton, Pennsylvania.

Obama was continuing his assault on McCan campaign manager Rick Davis who has been one of the Illinois senator's top targets since telling the Washington Post earlier this week that the campaing is "not about issues" but rather the "composite view of what people take away from these candidates."

"When [Republicans] say this isn't about issues it's about personalities what they're really saying is 'we're going to try to scare people about Barack,' the Democratic presidential candidate said.

Obama said Republicans are "going to say that you know, 'maybe he's got Muslim connections or we're going to say that, you know, he hangs out with radicals or he’s not patriotic.' Just making stuff up."

"I mean I think I've got a pretty good personality! But that's not why I am running for president," the Illinois Democrat joked, adding "if you've got the kind of record they've got over the last eight years then, of course, you don't want to spend a lot of time talking about the issues."

1. McCain IS and was lying at his speech at the convention. The media has already covered the things he said were lies. He's no maverick. He's a liar and a hypocrite. Those Republican's were very mean the other night….I guess they had nothing else better to say, but to attack Obama…how dare that Palin woman say things about Obama not being qualified as commander-in-chief, and about his community organizing. She has no idea what she's talking about. Just wait until it's her turn for some talking points. Hey Sarah, We are different in this part of the country……you need to be a little nicer.

2. McCain/Palin insult and mock community organizers, groups like:
   Habitat for Humanity
   The Red Cross
   Hospice
   March of Dimes
   Salvation Army (Like the bell ringers for instance)
   Easter Seals
   Volunteer Fire and rescue personel
   Goodwill
   Helping Hands
   Coastal Cleanup
   Meals on Wheels
   And, Oh, yeh….All those Faith based initiatives.
   Do you want a president that has so little respect for service work?

   You need to open your mouth and tell the american people( that some of the best presidents
   down through history have not fought in wars, and still governed our country and helped to keep
   it the strong nation it is today. Sir:i don't know how the american women can look at this plain/bush/mccain clone/ and just give up on fairness/in healthcare/economy /our rights.
   Please America!!! Don't let Goliathus win. Our
   children are tired of fighting. let them come Home. Just because you were a prisoner of war
   that does not Qualify you Mccain ,to govern this nation. we need to look into pass a bit more, to rectify the mistakes in the future.
