Does anyone really know McCain beyond his legendary temper? We're constantly told everyone knows McCain but Obama has a big question mark above his head. As an average tv viewer, I'm infuriated every time a pundiot tells me I know McCain, because I don't him from a hole in the ground, but I'm sure seeing him shine through this year as a liar and the biggest flip flopper ever who knows he'll be forgiven anything by the MSM.</description></item><item><title>McCain camp calls Web ad &amp;quot;humor&amp;quot;</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/08/01/1241902.aspx#1241982</link><pubDate>Fri, 01 Aug 2008 20:30:07 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:1241982</guid><dc:creator>donna</dc:creator><description>Jealousy is toxic.

He should say something like:&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&amp;quot;I don't normally comment personally on John McCain's ads, but this is different. As a Christian, I am offended. &amp;nbsp;John McCain may think it's ok to mock Chritianity, but I don't and I don't think the American people do, either. &amp;nbsp;Our faith is something hold too closely to our hearts to be made fun of. John McCain has crossed the line with this ad and should have to answer for it.&amp;quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;If Obama says this, he puts McCain at odds with his own already-shaky Evangical base, he reminds those in doubt that he is not Muslim and he further links himself to &amp;quot;American&amp;quot; values that swing state voters seem to find so important. </description></item><item><title>McCain camp calls Web ad &amp;quot;humor&amp;quot;</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/08/01/1241902.aspx#1242120</link><pubDate>Fri, 01 Aug 2008 20:56:33 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:1242120</guid><dc:creator>Linda  New York, NY</dc:creator><description>Why does no one in the press seem to know that &amp;quot;We are the ones that we have been waiting for&amp;quot; comes from the last line of a prophecy/prayer from the elders of the Hopi tribe? &amp;nbsp;The first time I heard it used was by Maria Shriver in her endorsement of Obama in California -- though of course I knew of it long before she used it.</description></item><item><title>McCain camp calls Web ad &amp;quot;humor&amp;quot;</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/08/01/1241902.aspx#1242121</link><pubDate>Fri, 01 Aug 2008 20:56:33 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:1242121</guid><dc:creator>Linda  New York, NY</dc:creator><description>Why does no one in the press seem to know that &amp;quot;We are the ones that we have been waiting for&amp;quot; comes from the last line of a prophecy/prayer from the elders of the Hopi tribe? &amp;nbsp;The first time I heard it used was by Maria Shriver in her endorsement of Obama in California -- though of course I knew of it long before she used it.</description></item><item><title>McCain camp calls Web ad &amp;quot;humor&amp;quot;</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/08/01/1241902.aspx#1242126</link><pubDate>Fri, 01 Aug 2008 20:57:05 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:1242126</guid><dc:creator>GO2, DC</dc:creator><description>First Presidential debate between Senators McCain and Obama.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;McCain: Time and again you have conducted yourself here and abroad as if you were something outside of ordinary or above the norm.
