John McCain has one overarching goal this year. That is not to look or sound like George Bush. Technically is his basically a replica of Mr. 28% but is running on a faux maverick record that might have been somewhat legit eight years ago but is a far cry from the McCain of 08. Thankfully this year we have a candidate that is willing to call him out on it and do it often.
From The Huffington Post:
Sen. Barack Obama hit McCain over the fundraiser at an event today in Nevada:"I just had the privilege of visiting with Felicitas Rosel and Francisco Cano at their home here in Las Vegas.
Today, John McCain is having a different kind of meeting. He's holding a fundraiser with George Bush behind closed doors in Arizona. No cameras. No reporters. And we all know why. Senator McCain doesn't want to be seen, hat-in-hand, with the President whose failed policies he promises to continue for another four years."
And Obama will continue hitting him over his head until people see the shell of a man that McCain truly is. If McCain was proud of George Bush or if he had any sort of principles, he would have let the media in to the event. Of course he did no such thing, probably because seeing a repeat of the caption above wouldn't have been too good for him.
