McCain knocks Obama's speaking style

Jabbing at his speaking style hardly makes McCain look very "presidential." Stick to the issues, not this silly junk about speeches or celebrities.

McCain, it's obvious, has become the master of the art of "reductio ad absurdum." Maybe fallacies of reasoning are not taught in schools today, which are preparing ultra technological nesbits. But McCain is not speaking to them. He's speaking to the older voters who wouldn't know reductio ad absurdum from kung fu. These are the guys who pick up on the image "older white guy, served Navy, POW, hero, backyard barbecue whiz, knows his stuff." To these guys McCain's word is as good as gold. Never mind that the media crucifies his opponent about his religion, while ignoring the fact that Johhny M refuses to talk about his.

Now what would happen if somebody did a reductio ad absurdum number on McCain's argument that he knows how to win wars cuz he spent 6 years in a POW camp after failing to avoid a surface to air missile, was denied treatment by the viet cong until they learned he was the son of an admiral, and later was called a "songbird" because he gave out critical information to the viet cong.

Would Mr. Commander in Chief wannabe like to poked in the ribs about that stuff, or the fact that he crashed 4 military aircraft? The first thing out of everybody's mouth when they speak of John McCain is "I have the greatest respect for John," but.... Reductio is used by McCain because he does not respect his opponent.

Hope McCain pops, Obama's style as its nothing but a cheap hot air baloon-

Translation: I'm Truman, Obama is Dewey.

In fact, the only thing, to northern ears, wrong with Barack's delivery is when he sometimes lapses into some kind of Southern accent. Hillary used to do that and it would set my teeth on edge.

By contrast, the politicians in England either stick to their home county accent or like Blair adhere to pure BBC announcer/Oxbridge.

The 2004 Keynote diction was about perfect, as I recall.

Another week of McCain's weekly presidential addresses and still no mention that he is acting pretty presumptious in acting like he's already won.

Yet you did manage to post verbatim and without critique all of McCain's dishonest talking points.

Good job, as always, by the media.

What does anyone expect from the McCain handlers, they must appeal to the most simplistic people on the face of the earth...

Not only is this attack on a junior high level--how dare he be a better speaker than me--it is full of lies! The usual stuff for the double-talk express!

Not only does Obama speak better than McCain, he thinks and acts better too. The only thing McCain is offering is cynicism and anger. His confusion about so many issues, including his own votes, is very troubling as well.

McCain's radio address seems bit presumptuous to me. Is he so confused he thinks he's already been elected?!

Could someone explain why McCain isn't being labeled "presumptuous" for having weekly radio addresses when he isn't the president?

And if the press is unwilling to point that out, shouldn't the press at least point out that these aren't really "weekly radio addresses"? They're podcasts?

Whatever respect I had for John McCain is now gone.

McCain will say or do anything to become president. He registers somewhere between pathetic and pathetic.

Why does McCain get a weekly radio address, isn't that arrogant and presumptuous of him?

Obama's speech is slick as-----.

Matt, do you think Obam's statement about McCain making people fear Obam because he doesn't look like other presidents on the dollar bills it sticking to the issues? I certainly don't. It just means that Obam is bringing the race card into the race once again. Happens everytime he is going down in the polls.

Songbird McSame is just showing what a child-man he is by all the pre-emptive whining. He didn't get socked yet, but he's crying race card playing.

McCain's humor is priceless ha ha! I've never laughed so hard during a presidential race. I'm enjoying all his ads, they're all humorous. I hope to see lots more of his brand of KILL EM WITH HUMOR politics ha.

Obama needs to lighten up and quit taking himself so serious. The issues are important but you don't have to be a mortician inbetween ha.

A famous comedian once said ' leave them laughing'.

McCain needs to stop this petty nonsense because there are more important things, like why did he go on the David Letterman show shortly after the Anthrax and promote the false story that officials suspected that the source of the anthrax was Saddam Hussein? Where did he get that false propaganda from?

McCain has a point. A motivational speaker sometimes gets off point due to the crowd reaction. They will repeat what they say using different words to get the same meaning. Obama can say he does not want anything to do with the Rev. Jesse Jackson, but he clearly has taken a page out of the "How to Speak at a Rainbow/Push Rally" handbook.

"For his part, Senator Obama is an impressive orator, and it's a lucky thing for me that people aren't just choosing a motivational speaker," he said. "Washington is full of talented talkers. And Senator Obama is one of the best to come along in quite a while."

The speaking skills of this guy are more over-rated than Neapolitan Ice Cream!

Can McCain ever stop lying?
The fact is that Obama will cut taxes more then McCain will for 99% of Americans. I'm sorry McCain if facts get in the way of all your lies.
The fact is that under Obama wasteful spending will decrease more then under McCain. McCain the empty suit says he will balance the budget but he never says how. His exact words are "I will find us 100 Billion tomorrow".
Obama will get us out of Iraq which will save America 200 Billion a year. (Even McCain has said Obama's Iraq policy is a good idea).
Obama will simplify tax filings saving the government 10 Billion a year and taxpayers millions of hours.
Obama will negotiate drug prices saving Medicare 30 Billion a year. Obama will get our health care system electonized saving us 77 Billion a year.
McCain needs to start focusing on the issues because that is his weakness. He is very good at childish attacks and red herrings but nothing else.

Lisa you have McCain and Obam mixed up. Remember the European trip? That was Obam acting like he was already president.

Hey Zook, seems to me you said the same thing about Hillary. You need to get a new message or you shouldn't bother commenting till you do. You are boring the rest of us.

"My independence hasn't always made me friends in Washington. It hasn't always done much for my political prospects, either," said McCain..."

It's not that you're independent, dude. You're a complete SELL OUT. You will bend over for anyone that might put you a step ahead. So much for that pledge of a respectful campaign. What a liar. It's OK though, Obama got plenty of practice with Hillary, so just kept those junior high school campaign ads coming.

"Who ya gonna believe, McCain or your lying ears??"
