McCain: I’m Not Running for Bush’s Third Term

HeadlineJun 04, 2008

Meanwhile, Senator John McCain gave a prime-time address last night attacking Obama. He criticized Obama for claiming that he is running for President Bush’s third term.

Sen. McCain: “Why does Senator Obama believe it’s so important to repeat that idea over and over again? Because he knows it’s very difficult to get Americans to believe something that they know is false. So he tries to drum it into your minds by constantly repeating it, rather than debate honestly the very different directions he and I would take the country. But the American people didn’t get to know me yesterday, as they’re just getting to know Senator Obama.”
