Barack Obama Post-Debate Comments About John McCain

Barak Obama's post-debate comments about John McCain. (Reportered in the LA Times)
At (a) Greensboro rally, Obama said: "The truth is, through 90 minutes of debate, John McCain had a lot to say about me. But he had nothing to say about you."Didn't even say the words 'middle class.' Didn't say the words 'working people.' You see, I think Sen. McCain just doesn't get it. He doesn't get this crisis on Wall Street. He doesn't get the fact that it hit Main Street long ago."
Obama said that for two weeks, McCain had been "shifting solutions . . . looking for a photo op and trying to figure out what to say and what to do" about the nation's financial woes. "Well, North Carolina, I know what we need to do," Obama said.
"We need to stop giving tax cuts to corporations and CEOs on Wall Street and start standing up for families on Main Street."
Obama also chided the Arizona senator for reusing a familiar line in the debate. In condemning federal pork-barrel projects, McCain had cited a study on grizzly bear DNA.
"He railed against some study on bears in Montana," Obama said. "That's an old line he's been using since the beginning of this campaign. But he had nothing to say about the fact that more and more Americans can't afford to pay for their college education; can't afford healthcare for their families; can't afford a retirement that is dignified and secure."
