John McCain: Speech 06/03/08

John McCain
Speech
Kenner, LA 06/03/08

TRANSCRIPT:
ED MUNIZ: "And a man whom I am confident will become our nation's next president. John McCain has served effectively in the United States Congress for the last 28 years - twenty-two of them as a senator from Arizona. Senator McCain continues a line of service to our country deeply committed to the military service from navy admirals to himself as a pilot and a prisoner of war, and to his own son who currently serves in Iraq. It is truly an honor to have him with us tonight . . . "

BUDDY ROEMER: "The Governor and John and I were out in this big bus in the parking lot the last few minutes . . . I said, I remember the first time you and I went to Iowa, John, about two years ago we borrowed someone's pickup truck and drove to a meeting of the farmers in a corn field . . . there were five people at that meeting . . . I remember in the early days of the campaign as a volunteer how hard it was to get a crowd, so I want to start tonight by thanking each of you for coming. I know you had somewhere else to be tonight, a family member to be with, a business to run, a church to attend . . . I always felt that most people in America would only know us by long distance, they'd never come here themselves . . . tonight I want to thank Louisiana for coming to help Louisiana. I want to thank my church; the good Methodists in Baton Rouge [one person cheering]. For the day of the storm getting in their boots and their pickup trucks and bringing their boats . . . I love John McCain. When he came to New Orleans after the storm, you know what he said, don't you? He said, never, ever again will the federal government be as unprepared, as unfocused, as unready as they were that day . . . he promised. That's a commitment [applause]. How do you pick a president? . . . if you can only choose one? I have an old test. It comes from a guy who carved dogs out of pine stumps . . . a woman and her kids came to watch him . . . and she asked, how do you do it? He said it's easy. I get up every morning, I thank the lord for my life, I sharpen my knife . . . and I carve away everything that doesn't look like a dog [laughter]. How do you pick a president? I say you carve away anything that doesn't look like a president [cheering] . . . "
