Barack Obama on Dick Cheney's McCain Endorsement

SEN. OBAMA: "Earlier today, Dick Cheney came out of his undisclosed location and hit the campaign trail. He said that he is, and I quote, delighted to support John McCain.




Id like to congratulate Senator McCain on this endorsement because he really earned it. That endorsement didnt come easy. Senator McCain had to vote 90 percent of the time with George Bush and Dick Cheney to get it. He served as Washingtons biggest cheerleader for going to war in Iraq, and supports economic policies that are no different from the last eight years. So Senator McCain worked hard to get Dick Cheneys support.




But heres my question for you, Colorado: do you think Dick Cheney is delighted to support John McCain because he thinks John McCains going to bring change? Do you think John McCain and Dick Cheney have been talking about how to shake things up, and get rid of the lobbyists and the old boys club in Washington?




Colorado, we know better. After all, it was just a few days ago that Senator McCain said that he and President Bush share a common philosophy. And we know that when it comes to foreign policy, John McCain and Dick Cheney share a common philosophy that thinks that empty bluster from Washington will fix all of our problems, and a war without end in Iraq is the way to defeat Osama bin Laden and the al Qaeda terrorists who are in Afghanistan and Pakistan.




So George Bush may be in an undisclosed location, but Dick Cheneys out there on the campaign trail because hed be delighted to pass the baton to John McCain. He knows that with John McCain you get a twofer: George Bushs economic policy and Dick Cheneys foreign policy but thats a risk we cannot afford to take. It's time for change and that's why I'm running for President of the United States."

Agreed. That's why we must get out and vote. We cannot assume an Obama win. History has shown that the Republicans will try to cheat. We need to make sure Obama has an OVERWHELMING VICTORY. Please vote. Your vote really does matter.
