MCCAIN'S HYPOCRITICAL ATTACK ON OBAMA

One example that perfectly illustrates John McCain's failure at honesty are the recent attacks by him on Barack Obama for harboring ambitions to be president, as McCain describes it.

Here's what McCain said during his remarks before the VFW yesterday:

“Behind all of these claims and positions by Senator Obama lies the ambition to be president."

Here's what McCain wrote in his memoir "Worth the Fighting For" (page 373):

"I didn't decide to run for president to start a national crusade for the political reforms I believed in or to run a campaign as if it were some grand act of patriotism. In truth, I wanted to be president because it had become my ambition to be president. . . . In truth, I'd had the ambition for a long time."

Of course, McCain's self-confessed "ambition to be president" isn't part of any analysis when it comes to his own attacks against Obama on the same issue.
