Obama Bashes McCain to AARP

Saturday, September 6th, 2008

In Saturday address via satellite to the group’s “National Life at 50+” event in D.C., the Democratic nominee frames his rival as wrong on taxes, Social Security, health care and more, using the usual attack lines.

“But the record’s clear: John McCain has voted with George Bush 90 percent of the time. And I don’t know about you, but I’m not ready to take a 10 percent chance on change.”

1. That sentence is beginning to sound trite. They need to come up w/another way to say that. nt

7. that isn't a maverick, it's a sidekick... besides, not everyone hears all his speeches the way we do

it is very likely those people have only heard it once or maybe twice before

13. Exactly....people think everyone has heard it before...

but they probably haven't.

8. This is a Republican

tactic. Say it often enough and folks will actually start believing it is true. The cool thing about this statement is that it IS true!

11. I see. You are right, Grasshopper. But better if they jazz it up and shake it around some. nt

2. he just tells the truth and they think it's bashing

to paraphrase Harry Truman

3. But that is a good thing because it gives more power to what Obama said n/t

4. Not really.I copied and pasted this article from "The Page" which was written by...

5. I like it also!

6. John McCain doesn't care about old people, because he shares NONE of their problems.

Think about it. Rich wife. No responsibility for paying for homes, children's educations, living expenses, etc. He gets full health care. He gets $250,000 plus a year in direct cash payments from the government.

9. That's a good point.

John McCain is clueless. More importantly, he wants to destroy Social Security. That's the killer.

10. His Social Security retirement check is TWICE what the average SS recipient gets.

And it isn't even 10% of the total he gets from the federal government for salary and disability.

His $23,000 a year in retirement from SS is not even tipping money for him.
