You're absolutely right that McCain could not give a speech like that. People would laugh him off the stage for being a hypocrite.
Obama's speech was his Sister Souljah moment. Selling himself to the evil whiteys, just as Clinton did way back when.

McCain's kids seem to think their dad is pretty special. Guess you know more than they. Bizarre.

And, P.S., the conservatives have been saying what Barry just did for the last 30 years. Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwe.....but they are evil. And Bill Cosby? He was not being true to his race.

The intellectual dishonesty is astounding.

If that's so, he missed out on a big PR opportunity. Why didn't he get one of the kids to give a father's day speech about dear old dad? Seriously, that would have been a very smart move--you have to wonder why it didn't happen.

Because, for all his faults, and there are plenty from my conservative viewpoint, the man doesn't pander nor use his children.

Oh really???????

Ha ha ha, let's see just how true this is over the next few months. Hope you don't mind if I return to this post every time one of his kids makes a statement.

I said McCain doesn't pander, nor use his kids. I said nothing about his kids standing up for him.

Have you heard him talk about his sons in the service? Of course not. Say what you will about him, but he does not pander....Obama does. Fine if that doesn't matter to you. It stinks when I see it.

LOL, if it walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, and panders like a duck, it's a duck.

But hey, it's cool--have it your way. McCain's kids will be different from every other politician's kids... they aren't "pandered," they simply like standing up for him. It doesn't answer the question: why weren't McCain's kids standing up for him on Father's Day?
