Obama Attacks Republican Candidate McCain's Foreign Policy
Democrat goes on the attack during speech in Michigan on Monday
Democratic Presidential candidate Barack Obama went on the offensive against Republican Presidential candidate John McCain, during a speech given in Waterford, Mich., on Monday.
Michael Powell of the New York Times is reporting that Obama's major areas of criticism about McCain were over two of the most controversial issues of the upcoming Presidential race; foreign policy and the state of the economy.
McCain's biggest public criticism of Obama thus far has been over the Democrat's views on foreign affairs, but Obama went on the counter-attack Monday. According to the Times, Obama said of McCain on Monday, "This is a guy who said I have no knowledge of foreign affairs. Well John McCain was arguing for a war that had nothing to do with 9/11. He was wrong, and he was wrong on the most important subject that confronted our nation."
According to Powell, Obama also addressed McCain's recent, incorrect claim about the current number of American troops in Iraq. The Democratic candidate explained that the Republican candidate has shown in the past that he is unwilling to admit that he has made a mistake.
