McCain Wins/Loses Debate With Self

John McCain says that Barack Obama can’t get anything done in Washington because he has no history of working across party lines to get things done for America. 

Both Senator Obama and I promise we will end Washington’s stagnant, unproductive partisanship. But one of us has a record of working to do that and one of us doesn’t. Americans have seen me put aside partisan and personal interests to move this country forward. They haven’t seen Senator Obama do the same. For all his fine words and all his promise, he has never taken the hard but right course of risking his own interests for yours; of standing against the partisan rancor on his side to stand up for our country. He is an impressive man, who makes a great first impression. But he hasn’t been willing to make the tough calls; to challenge his party; to risk criticism from his supporters to bring real change to Washington. I have.

In a new ad released today, McCain dug into the archives to find a great example of Obama putting aside “partisan and personal interests to move this country forward.”

‘Take that,’ says John McCain to….John McCain.
