Obama: McCain Thinks Giving Americans a Break is Socialism

HeadlineOct 28, 2008

On Tuesday, Senator Barack Obama campaigned in Canton, Ohio, where he gave what was described as his closing argument speech.

Sen. Obama: “We’ve always grown the American economy from the bottom up. John McCain calls this socialism. I call it opportunity, and there’s nothing more American than that.”

At a rally in Cleveland, Ohio, Senator John McCain said an Obama presidency could be dangerous.

Sen. McCain: “Do you want to keep it invested in your future or have it taken by the most liberal person to ever run for the presidency and the Democratic leaders, the most liberal, who have been running Congress for the past two years, [House Speaker] Nancy Pelosi and [Senate Majority Leader] Harry Reid? You know, my friends, this is a dangerous threesome.”
