Obama’s Interview With NBC News from Berlin
Obama Responds to the Inanity

BRIAN WILLIAMS: I have to begin by getting your reaction to a piece in this morning’s International Herald Tribune. It’s by Elisabeth Bumiller. And it reads, "Senator John McCain and his campaign have sharply stepped up criticism of Senator Barack Obama as a craven and naive traveler to the Middle East, who, as McCain put it at a raucous town hall style meeting, quote, ‘would rather lose a war in order to win a political campaign.’" That’s– that’s tough language.

SENATOR OBAMA: Yeah, I was disappointed by that language. You know, John McCain and I disagree on policy. You know, we disagreed on going into the war in Iraq. We disagreed, until recently, about the need to get more troops into Afghanistan. But I’ve never questioned that he wants to make America safer. And for him to suggest that I don’t- for him to suggest that somehow I’m less concerned about the safety of my wife and daughter than he is I think was– was unfortunate.

1. "Craven"...that describes mcsurge to a C.
The NYT rejected his op ed 'cause it had no facts..just a bunch of accusations. mccain is running a dirty campaign with the help of corporatewhore America.
