Obama Camp Response to McCain’s Florida Remarks

At his event in Florida today, John McCain once again repeated his favorite line about congress requesting money to study bear DNA, but failed to mention that his running mate requested money to study the mating habits of Alaskan crabs. Below is a statement on his hypocrisy:

“If John McCain is worried about an earmark to study bear DNA – an earmark that was requested by his Montana State Chair, by the way – then maybe he should talk to his running mate about the $ 2 million she requested to study the mating habits of Alaskan crabs. If John McCain won’t tell the truth about their record on the campaign trail, how can we trust that he’ll be straight with us in the White House?” said Obama campaign spokesman Tommy Vietor.

5. He probably

thought it was beer research!

[Barack_America]

11. Doubt it. He's pledged to "veto every beer"...

So I doubt he would vote for beer research either.

7. Good, label McCain a liar as much as possible

The more you do, the more it cements in the public's mind, and the more likely it will make McCain lose his temper.

9. Why does John McCain hate bears?

[Barack_America]

12. He thinks Stephen Colbert is a real conservative?

10. Stupid question...

Are these responses released in a press release or something? How are they distributed and disseminated?

[Hope And Change]

14. It could be as simple that the Obama camp sends e-mails to different media news outlets...

or directly to some journalists...

[BlueJazz]

15. I didn't know Ms. Palin had crabs.....I caught them once many years ago but it didn't...

...cost 2 million to get rid of them and I damn sure didn't care about their "Mating Habits"... :)

16. McCain also just said the economy is still "fundamentally strong"
