McCain Assesses Himself, Appreciates Obama

Senator John McCain: “That kind of thing is unnecessary. I am proud of my record of service, and I have plenty of friends and leaders who will attest to that. I think that Senator Obama is a great American success story. I think his family is. I think he’s someone who is admired and respected throughout this country and the world. I think our differences are how we intend to move forward in conducting the affairs of this country. We have very different views, and very different positions. I think all Americans are proud of Senator Obama and what he’s been able to accomplish — he and his entire family. … And I think it’s living proof of some of the great, greatness of America.”
