Intellectual honesty watch: Score one for McCain
All politicians distort things their opponents say, but this strikes me as a rather remarkable example:
Remind me, again, about the particular "change" that Obama claims to embody? I'm always forgetting. It didn't have anything to do with the character or honesty of our political discourse, did it?

Gee...where to start?
I'd need a flashdrive to chronicle the perniciousness...indeed snarky perniciousness and lies of the right--that is, for this week. We should categorize and file, too. Racist BullSh*t and baiting will be coded: FOX. The Middle East Bull and Lies: FKD. Business Fouls and the real class warfare: IRS (just for fun). Immigration: WOG (again, just for fun), Healthcare: DBLFKD. The so-called Free Market Bull: TIT. China Bull: JZZ. There're a few dozen more.
By the way, John McCain will break conservatives hearts. Indeed win or lose the Election, it will come. It's there, dormant as a queen alien in Sigourney Weaver's chest for how, but it's gonna burst. It won't be you all who get screwed much as you deserve it, so yeah, it scares me, too...

I think, Chris, the exercise is to compare the actual people running for president, not the candidate of one party with the arguments made by random people who disagree with that candidate.
As for your last point -- that McCain will disappoint conservatives -- I do not believe that conservatives are under any illusion that McCain is really one of them. So in one sense the expectations of conservatives for McCain are so low they are unlikely to be disappointed.

I might be wrong, but I don't believe the interview on the right is the source for the comment Obama is referring to.
