The Heart Of The Matter

It looks like McCain is actually going to run against the Obama I, and lots of other people, find so distasteful:

My opponent has invited serious questioning by announcing a few weeks ago that he would quote — “take off the gloves.” Since then, whenever I have questioned his policies or his record, he has called me a liar.

Rather than answer his critics, Senator Obama will try to distract you from noticing that he never answers the serious and legitimate questions he has been asked. But let me reply in the plainest terms I know. I don’t need lessons about telling the truth to American people. And were I ever to need any improvement in that regard, I probably wouldn’t seek advice from a Chicago politician.

...

My opponent’s touchiness every time he is questioned about his record should make us only more concerned. For a guy who’s already authored two memoirs, he’s not exactly an open book. It’s as if somehow the usual rules don’t apply, and where other candidates have to explain themselves and their records, Senator Obama seems to think he is above all that. Whatever the question, whatever the issue, there’s always a back story with Senator Obama. All people want to know is: What has this man ever actually accomplished in government? What does he plan for America? In short: Who is the real Barack Obama? But ask such questions and all you get in response is another barrage of angry insults.


Of course, the reaction of the MSM to this will probably be to call McCain a racist. I can hear them now:

"McCain said Obama was going to 'Take the gloves off,' an obvious reference to O.J. Simpson, and yet another attempt to portray Obama as a dangerous black man."

Note: I actually hesitated writing that because I'm half afraid it will be found and used by a MSM source.

Scary.
