Comments on: McCain stays in the US - his press passes go continental http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2008/07/22/mccain-stays-in-the-us-his-press-passes-go-continental/ All politics, all the time Mon, 21 Dec 2009 22:07:36 +0000 http://wordpress.com/ hourly 1 By: Mtui http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2008/07/22/mccain-stays-in-the-us-his-press-passes-go-continental/#comment-1385836 Mtui Wed, 23 Jul 2008 05:13:35 +0000 http://cnnpoliticalticker.wordpress.com/?p=9534#comment-1385836 FROM CNN’s Jack Cafferty: “The world is waiting to love America again.” That is a quote from a recent editorial in a British newspaper, and many Europeans are hoping Barack Obama will provide them with just that chance. When Obama travels to Europe later this week, it’s expected he’ll be treated like a rock star – mobbed by cheering fans in Berlin, Paris and London. A recent poll from England found 70% of Italians, 67% of Germans, 65% of the French and 49% of Britons would vote for Obama. Compare that to Republican John McCain, who gets support from 15% of Italians, 6% of Germans, 8% of the French and 14% in Britain. FROM CNN’s Jack Cafferty:

Is that the McCain plan: to play off of negative ethnic stereotypes? Wow, what's next? A minstrel-dark black guy (or, how about a white guy in blackface!?) with exaggerated eyes and lips eating fried chicken and watermelon?? Sorry, no: there is no difference. What happened to McCain's lofty promises of an honorable and positive campaign? Those pinheads who pilloried the Europeans generally and the French in particular are the epitome of the "ugly American." Pride in one's own identity and country NEVER means having to denigrate others. Our duties and burdens of world leadership require that we treat others with respect. A lesson so badly lost on the Bushies. I am very sorry to see that McCain also does not understand. And he claims to be so savvy in foreign affairs.

He has flipped-flopped over and over and where are the ads - a split-screen showing Obama vs. Obama? This would be the ideal time - while Obama is playing President overseas - McCain should be unmasking Obama's two-mouths.
