Barack Obama says he knows John McCain has asked supporters to tone down their attacks on him. But Obama says McCain’s ideas are still wrong for the country.
Obama said at a rally Saturday in Philadelphia that he appreciates the effort by McCain to reminder people that the candidates can disagree on issues while still respecting each other.
Obama says McCain has served his country with honor and deserves thanks for that. But Obama says McCain just doesn’t get it when it comes to the struggling economy.
McCain was campaigning in Minnesota on Friday when he took the microphone from a woman who called Obama an Arab. McCain said, “No ma’am,” and he called Obama “a decent, family man.”
