Obama Campaign -- Gasp! -- Mocks McCain Again
By Greg Sargent | bio
Today John McCain hit Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton again for voting against the no-withdrawal-timetables Iraq bill.
Now Obama's campaign spokesman, Bill Burton, has just responded to McCain's broadside in a statement that's notable for the gentle mockery directed at McCain for his habit of skipping votes in the Senate:
"As a senator who takes his duties seriously, and has also showed up to vote more than once this month, Barack Obama considers few responsibilities more important than his votes on the war in Iraq. Obama opposed the war from the beginning and, unlike Senator McCain, is committed to ending it as quickly and responsibly as possible."
"...and has also showed up to vote more than once this month..." Snark!
Between this and Obama's recent mockery of McCain's Baghdad Stroll, it's clear that the Obama camp is relishing every opportunity to use McCain and his recent antics as a foil -- something that probably appeals to Dems more than ever with McCain's embrace of the surge. Camp Obama just isn't afraid to make fun of the guy and to highlight his buffoonery.
And so we'll say it again: Barack, this is just not done. Everything McCain does is born of unimpeachable integrity, so we do not -- repeat, do not -- take such a dismissive tone with such a revered figure. D.C.'s elders will strongly disapprove of your insolence and David Broder will shake his head and murmur his disapproval.
