    Did anyone else count the amount of times Obama said "senator mccain is absolutely right", or some other statement saying roughly the same thing? I lost count at 50. That is a useful tool when you use it sparingly, but use it so repetitively and it sounds like you're voting for him. Hell, I couldn't even say it that many times about McCain and I AM voting for him.

    I found an article with a similar sentiment: link


    “I think Senator McCain’s absolutely right that we need more responsibility…”

    “Senator McCain is absolutely right that the earmarks process has been abused…”

    “He’s also right that oftentimes lobbyists and special interests are the ones that are introducing these…requests…”

    “John mentioned the fact that business taxes on paper are high in this country, and he’s absolutely right…”

    “John is right we have to make cuts…”

    “Senator McCain is absolutely right that the violence has been reduced as a consequence of the extraordinary sacrifice of our troops and our military families…”

    “John — you’re absolutely right that presidents have to be prudent in what they say…”

    “Senator McCain is absolutely right, we cannot tolerate a nuclear Iran…”


    I thought McCain "didn't get it"?

    -Eric "George Orwell" Blair

    "If the policy of the government, upon vital questions affecting the whole people, is to be irrevocably fixed by decisions of the Supreme Court...the people will have ceased to be their own rulers, having to that extent practically resigned the government into the hands of that eminent tribunal."
    (Lincoln's First Inaugural Address, 1861).
