Ooopsie...McCain questions Obama speech, forgets Canada
McCain questions speech, forgets Canada
Posted: Thursday, July 24, 2008 3:35 PM by Mark Murray
Filed Under: 2008, McCain

From NBC's Mark Murray
In his interview with NBC's Kelly O'Donnell, which will air on NBC's Nightly News tonight, McCain questions whether Obama should have given a speech in Berlin before becoming president.

"I would rather speak at a rally or a political gathering any place outside of the country after I am president of the United States," McCain told O'Donnell. "But that's a judgment that Sen. Obama and the American people will make."

However, on June 20, McCain himself gave a speech in Canada -- to the Economic Club of Canada -- in which he applauded NAFTA's successes. An implicit message behind that speech was that Obama had been critical of the trade accord. Also, McCain's trip to Canada was paid for by the campaign.

1. McCain just can't stop lying.
He's pathological.

4. Oh please, he's long since forgotten about that trip!

13. Long term memory? June 20th! Of this year!
Even if HE can't remember shit (what we older folks call CRS), doesn't he have a staff? Aren't they paid to keep him out of trouble with his mouth?

19. Yep, you were. I was actually agreeing and trying to be a bit funny myself
(in the right way I hope).

Oh, well...

6. Hey John:
It's because Barack Obama IS our President, you doddering bag of shit. Maybe when you pull your head out of your lying ass, you'll realize that, and then, off to the nursing home with you.

8. He shouldn't even be a Senator, he should be a
Wal-Mart greeter. Not to disparage any Wal-Mart greeters. :)

12. This is exactly why he SHOULD get media coverage
Every single time he opens his mouth he sticks his foot in it that much deeper. This guy should have the MSM lining up for him just for the gaffe factor alone.

22. worst. week. ever.
goddamn. This fucktard can't help but make gaffes, can he? He should have just taken a vacation whilst Obama was overseas. At this point, no press is better than bad press.

24. We need more
of these types of threads.

We should make posters, bumper stickers, and send out e-mails of all the "OOPS" moments that McCain makes. We need to show the country how much of a fool McLame is.
