McCain Campaign's Instant Response!
Within seconds of Barack Obama's final word, Sen. John McCain's campaign issued a point-by-point rebuttal of Obama's historic acceptance speech.
"Tonight, Americans witnessed a misleading speech that was so fundamentally at odds with the meager record of Barack Obama," spokesman Tucker Bounds said. "When the temple comes down, the fireworks end, and the words are over, the facts remain: Senator Obama still has no record of bipartisanship, still opposes offshore drilling, still voted to raise taxes on those making just $42,000 per year, and still voted against funds for American troops in harm's way. The fact remains: Barack Obama is still not ready to be President."
The statement then offered what it said were seven misleading claims Obama made in the speech, with documentation they said supported their position.
