Memo to John McCain (cc: Steve Schmidt)
IF YOU'RE going to complain about your opponent getting too much press attention, and that he's a celebrity, then when you give a radio address, it's your time, Mr McCain! Try to, you know, leave that Obama fellow to one side.

After the jump, the text of Mr McCain's weekly radio address, with the bits about Mr Obama in blue, the bits about Mr McCain in red. I make it 414 of 815 words about his opponent, and 372 about himself. It really does give the impression that it's all about Mr Obama, something the McCain folks themselves have (rightly) complained about.

He really does talk about Obama a lot. He seems obsessed with bringing him down personally.

As has been noted, he disses Obama, and has no class.:puke:

2. McCain has a lot of animosity
He lost the primary in 2000 and waited 8 years to run again and when he did run and get the GOP nomination, his Democratic opponent is someone he has very little chance of defeating. He's very angry that anyone is standing in his way and wants to completely disparage them and that anger really is personal and not just political.
