Uh uh. Doesn't work that way.

That's not a rhetorical shift. Also, I don't think it's accurate to compare McCain using Britney Spears and Paris Hilton in ads to Obama considering opening up offshore drilling.

Given Obama's quick rhetorical shift from far left to center left (primary season to now), surely you're not suggesting that Barack isn't saying whatever is necessary to win, right? Both candidates are typical "politics as usual" guys; one has just done a better job at convincing people that he isn't. “I think it’s pretty apparent given this “Celebrity” campaign that McCain doesn’t really care what he has to say to win.”

When Obama says, "It's time for [McCain] to acknowledge that I want to do the same [serve America's national interest]". It begs the question, does McCain believe that? The answer that pops into my head is no, I don't think McCain thinks that at all. Obama can't look to his opponent to quash the "un-American" rumors about him. This line of 'attack' is downright foolish. Damn it Obama, wisen up! And you know the Clintonistas are lickin their chops right now. Say what you will, Hillary would never ask her opponent for his blessing. Sheesh. Obama is trying to take the high road, but comments like these almost add credibility to McCain’s remarks.
