John McCain is really a big baby. He had the place all to himself and instead of working on his own
campaign he spend the entire time crying about Obama getting all the attention. Its like watching a kid jealous of his brother getting all the attention.

3. Obama has got him on a string - McCain is reacting to everything Obama does
instead of charting his own course in his campaign. McCain's visit to the German restaurant was priceless.

4. McCain came off lame this week. He would have done better to rest this week.
Every time he or his campaign spoke, they screwed up. They looked petty, they looked whiney, they looked pathetic.

6. heh
like Eugene Robinson just said "He could have really taken advantage and focused on the economy...but instead he stood in the cheese aisle and talked about the surge..." Loved the KO headline "Mac and Cheese" from earlier.

Whine, whine, whine, whine, whine...

9. All he has left is to complain
He hasn't got anything else.

In time he will be exposed. Give it time. I really feel that the American people will get it right this time.

Let him whine now. He'll be crying later.

10. Blathered for a few cheese shoppers in front of the dairy case,
looking like Grandpa got himself all turned around in the grocery store while trying to find some vanilla pudding.

11. Did I hear right?
After McCain got done whining about Obama in Berlin, I could swore I heard CNN or maybe it was MSNBC (don't know, I kept switching channels...) say that McCain ate lunch in a German restaurant. Was that a joke, or did he really? And if he did, how wimpy.

14. But guess what? He actually closed the gap in the polls and the race is neck and neck!
Isn't that amazing?? McCain whines and yammers, does NOTHING constructive with his time but act like a doofus and lie and the media tells us the race is neck and neck. Then they say "why can't Obama put this away; what's wrong with him?"

Ugh.

15. exactly! obama out-strategizes him at every turn!
johnny mclame could have campaigned hard in swing states like, um, idaho, and criticized obama for galavanting across the planet while ignoring domestic problems.

obama had a problem in that he was perceived as a foreign policy lightweight. so he went abroad to address that perception problem.

mccain is perceived as being weak on the domestic side, but he does nothing to address that. well, that's because it's more than just a perception problem....

16. McCain gets schooled by OBAMA
Not often do I stop and say, "Ha ha that was really funny." When I saw this video I was impressed that Obama totally dominates McCain and it dumps on the Bush Administration. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w-6yf2iVaWo Go Obama and all his supporters!
