McCain questions Obama speaking abroad, forgetting that he has done the same.

McCain's desperation is becoming embarrassing. What in God's name inspired him to say this?

"I would rather speak at a rally or a political gathering any place outside of the country after I am president of the United States," McCain told O'Donnell. "But that's a judgment that Sen. Obama and the American people will make."

Is he forgetting that the whole idea of Obama going abroad was his? Wasn't he the one who attacked Obama for not having visited Iraq as much as he had?

And hasn't he himself made speeches abroad during this campaign?

However, on June 20, McCain himself gave a speech in Canada -- to the Economic Club of Canada -- in which he applauded NAFTA's successes. An implicit message behind that speech was that Obama had been critical of the trade accord. Also, McCain's trip to Canada was paid for by the campaign.

I think McCain's famous short fuse is leading him to say things that are frankly ridiculous. Obama is currently outflanking him, but McCain's response to this - that the press are in the tank for Obama - totally ignores the fact that the press are very kindly passing over his own numerous gaffes.

But to attack Obama for speaking abroad, when your own campaign has attacked him for not going abroad enough, really is the worst kind of floundering.
