Obama chides McCain for ‘small,’ ‘ugly’ politics
Published: Monday October 20, 2008
Democratic White House nominee Barack Obama on Monday accused his Republican foe John McCain of pursuing “small” and “ugly” politics in an eleventh hour bid to rescue his White House hopes.
Obama launched a blitz of crucial swing state Florida, which will see him hold a double-bill rally with former primary foe Hillary Clinton later Monday, by rebuking McCain for his tactics, 15 days before election day.
“In the final days of campaigns, the say-anything, do-anything politics too often takes over,” Obama told thousands of supporters in a rally at the spring training headquarters of baseball’s New York Yankees.
“We’ve seen it before and we’re seeing it again — ugly phone calls, misleading mail, misleading TV ads, careless, outrageous comments,” Obama said.
“It’s getting so bad that even Senator McCain’s running mate denounced his tactics last night. As you know, you really have to work hard to violate Governor Palin’s standards on negative campaigning,” Obama said.
“But we’re not going to be distracted. We’re not going to be diverted. Not this time. Not this year. Our challenges are too great for a politics that’s so small.”
Ugly and low politics… McNasty has been a slimeball..
