Tells one supporter who says he’s scared of an Obama presidency: “I have to tell you, he is a decent person, a person that you do not have to be scared [of] as president of the United States.”
After a woman calls Obama “an Arab,” McCain interrupts to say: “No, ma’am. He is a decent family man, citizen.”
I mean, I still wonder why it's so acceptable to assume that being an "ay-rab" is inherently a bad thing, but at least he said something....

A moral retreat - or a tactical retreat?
To paraphrase: who is the
real John McCain?
