“A Pretty Scathing Charge”: Hussein Questions McCain’s Patriotism
ABC News Political Punch:
Obama Says McCain Puts Other Countries First

A pretty scathing charge from Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., this morning as he spoke to the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers and assailed Sen. John McCain’s, R-Ariz., position on free trade.
“Just ask the machinists in Pennsylvania who build Harley-Davidsons,” Obama said of McCain’s record. “Because John McCain didn’t just oppose the requirement that the government buy American-made motorcycles, he called Buy American provisions ‘disgraceful.’ Just ask the workers across this country who have seen their jobs outsourced. The very companies that shipped their jobs overseas have been rewarded with billions of dollars in tax breaks that John McCain supports and plans to continue.
“So, when American workers hear John McCain talking about putting ‘Country First,’” Obama said, “it’s fair to ask –- which country?”
Um … isn’t that pretty much the dictionary definition of questioning someone’s patriotism?

Fuck Obama. Once again with Socialist economics. Granted, many multi billion dollar companies DO outsource their labor to cheaper countries, however many companies also ASSEMBLE the goods in America. Look at Nike, which has closed down two other plants in the US. The democrats say they force people to give up their jobs. However, the same people can move to Memphis where they’re centralizing the Nike Plant, and moreover there will still need to be MORE workers. Take it this way if you took both Nike factories in the US, and then added another one, you’d have what is about to open in Memphis. Trust me, I’ve seen it first hand. Hell I helped put together the fitness center they have in there. Pretty nice stuff in it too.
September 13th, 2008 at 2:22 pmFunny, I thought his words were clear, did he not want to turn this country into the Soviet Union with a KGB at his disposal?
He talks of country but not freedom or victory, but speak for work for his his goals.
Obama was raised by a Muslim and tutored by a communist?
Dick Durbin, Teddy Kennedy, Stalin, and Mao should be proud. He is a child not of America and freedom but of “work for the state” and the Democrats say “What have we done” .
At this point the Democratic Party is not of America.
September 13th, 2008 at 2:54 pmObama is a sad little creature who not only has no qualifications to be President, he nearly does not qualify as a bi-ped land mammal.
September 13th, 2008 at 3:26 pmThe gall of this mofo. That picture is one of many reasons why Obama’s beliefs come to question. Seriously, can you imagine having someone named “Barack Hussein Obama” as POTUS, during a long war against Muslims?!!
September 13th, 2008 at 3:50 pmAnd when Obama went to the Brandenburg Gate…
that had to be the most unusual and akward campaign stops ever… was that one of those 7 states, of the 57, I’d never heard of????
September 13th, 2008 at 4:22 pmfuck hussein. I’m tired and don’t feel like saying why. just fuck hussein.
September 13th, 2008 at 5:39 pmGF - The truly akward part of that speech was that Obama didn’t get to the Brandenburg Gate. He spoke in front of the war memorial celebrating Prussian militarism and their defeat of France in the Franco-Prussian War. The Brandenburg Gate can now be viewed as a celebration of US ideals in democracy, the Prussian monument celebrates bloodshed and eventually the Nazis. So again, who is putting his country first Obama?
September 13th, 2008 at 5:59 pm“The Big Lie” is that Obama gives a shit about those people he’s talking to and that he believes a word of his own ‘message’. He’s the LAST person that would support Buy American.
September 13th, 2008 at 7:09 pmEvery bit of it a narrative of the power grab.
Sigh, the bitterness continues..
September 13th, 2008 at 7:47 pmLOL jam, I feel the same way!
FU BHO & the entire democRat party!
September 14th, 2008 at 6:38 amLiberals lecturing US on being patriotic? lmao
September 14th, 2008 at 8:42 amdoesn’t bho look like haji from johnny quest?
September 14th, 2008 at 10:14 amJake Tapper, from ABC News started his “career” as a errand boy at a company backed by Handgun Control, Inc. Add to that Jake’s book he wrote about how the Republicans stole the election in 2000 and you can see the unbiased reporting we are going to get from this piece of shit.
I was watching ABC News one night and they had one spot where they brought in two of their people for analysis on John McCain - one was George Stephanopolous who was in the Clinton Administration and the other was Tapper. This is what we get from the MSM.
September 14th, 2008 at 10:26 amWhen is the question of patriotism fair to ask ? it is when there is doubt. I doubt that Barry could stand the scutiny of a real investigation, so lets resurrect Joe McCarthy prop him up in a corner and then slam the motherfucker with every bit of doubt from his citizenship to his religion to his sexual preference to his actual accomplishments, and when he has answered those let’s start on the whore that he is married to and inquire of her her mentality to have remained in the loving arms of the cuckold husband. let us party like there is no tomorrow for if this asswipe is elected he will cause a revolt where the blood that is spilled will be innocent only in the fact that no one looks beyond his melodious speech of change. Change we can believe in would be him answering questions. Myself, I’m stocking up on ammo.
September 14th, 2008 at 2:27 pmThanks for clearing that up mshatto.
Interesting thing is that people I know that are Obama supporters now think the race is over and that McCain will win because Obama just keeps screwing up.
September 14th, 2008 at 3:04 pmWhile he was talking to those machinists, did he mention the jobs that were being put in jeopardy and the damper on production at Catepillar, John Deere and other midwestern heavy industrial machinery makers because Obama won’t back the Colombia Trade Pact? So…they can’t sell their wares to places like Colombia, who want them at a fair price? Did he mention that?
September 14th, 2008 at 3:51 pmI reckon I am too old and too much of an American to understand how the hell it came to this. How, in God’s name, did we allow liberalism such inroads into American society that so many of our grand institutions have been, if not destroyed, then cast into sewers, out of which crawls a fork-tongued snake with the absolute arrogance to believe he is the Messiah?
September 14th, 2008 at 6:33 pm“How, in God’s name, did we allow liberalism such inroads into American society …..”
Umm… marketing?
