Excerpts From Future President John McCain’s Remarks Tonight
September 4th, 2008 at 07:04pm Matt Margolis
On running mate Alaska Governor Sarah Palin:
“I’m very proud to have introduced our next Vice President to the country. But I can’t wait until I introduce her to Washington. And let me offer an advance warning to the old, big spending, do nothing, me first, country second Washington crowd: change is coming.”
On solving problems in Washington:
“The constant partisan rancor that stops us from solving these problems isn’t a cause, it’s a symptom. It’s what happens when people go to Washington to work for themselves and not you.
Again and again, I’ve worked with members of both parties to fix problems that need to be fixed. That’s how I will govern as President. I will reach out my hand to anyone to help me get this country moving again. I have that record and the scars to prove it. Senator Obama does not.”
On love of country:
“I fell in love with my country when I was a prisoner in someone else’s. I loved it not just for the many comforts of life here. I loved it for its decency; for its faith in the wisdom, justice and goodness of its people. I loved it because it was not just a place, but an idea, a cause worth fighting for. I was never the same again. I wasn’t my own man anymore. I was my country’s.”

Original Poem
Obama Oboma what have you done
Are there falsehoods coming off of your tongue
Through this campaign a narrow path you have trod
Staring in the role of an Axelwood god.
Obama Obama the throngs bow you
The role of messiah must be fun to do
Forget that your accomplishments don’t add up to much
Your eloquence and change message have just the right touch
A 6500 sq ft palace Michelle said to buy
But your $500K combined income could not qualify.
So you and Tony Rezko together went to there.
And concocted a plan from out of the air
Rezko a close friend whom you have denied
But public records show that you have lied
The seller said buy in this month on the dime
The lot next door must close sale at the same time.
Rezko wife bought the lot for six figures high
And you and Michelle’s price was it a lie
Now Resko does hard time for being a con
And you deny you new him and your life moves on
Obama Obaqma I CHALLENGE you to
Explain how Rezco was not close to you
And letters you wrote to support his projects to be
Now the crimes are exposed for all to see
You knew him well and the judge said that he stole
From our government hundreds of thousands were told
You socialized with him and your campaign took his gold
And the fibs you are telling are getting quit old
A pattern of denial and shedding of friends
All for selfish political ends
You house of card stories are getting quit thin
The truth is exposed and so you’re not going to win.
