Obama- I Can Beat John McCain
Democratic Presidential Hopeful Barack Obama (IL) has been stating recently that he is the best hope for the Democrat’s to be able to take control of the White House in November. His reasoning for this is that he has always been against the war and that his democratic counter part Hillary Clinton (NY) doesn’t have the same leverage as he does, when it comes to debating the issues with Sen. John McCain.
LOS ANGELES – Democratic Sen. Barack Obama sees one of the best arguments for his presidential candidacy in the rise of Republican Sen. John McCain. McCain has become Obama’s favorite punching bag, an easier mark in front of partisan audiences than the rival Obama will have to beat first to get to the general election – Hillary Rodham Clinton. But he also likes to lump the two of them together as co-supporters of the war in Iraq.
“It is time for new leadership that understands the way to win a debate with John McCain or any Republican who is nominated is not by nominating someone who agreed with him on voting for the war in Iraq,” Obama said during a speech in Denver Wednesday.
McCain had this to say in reference to Obama’s proclamation
Asked about Obama’s criticism Friday, McCain said a debate with Obama over the war “will be the difference between victory and surrender.”
“Without in any way denigrating or in any way being critical of Senator Obama, who I have great respect for, it’s a product of his inexperience,” McCain told reporters on his campaign plane. “And we’ll be highlighting that. And, inexperience, a lack of knowledge of national security issues can only lead one to the conclusion, that you would have immediate withdrawal from Iraq.”
McCain noted that Clinton had a similar position and said he eagerly awaits a one-on-one debate with either of them.
