Obama and McCain Quotes

McCain - I'm older than dirt, I've got more scars than Frankenstein, but I've learned a few things along the way.
President Obama - Speaking via video, President Obama spoke about how he had been inspired by Nelson Mandela and how it was time for people to take up the challenges the world still faces.  "This," Obama said, "is the greatest gift that we can give this great man."
McCain Urges Jack Johnson Pardon - Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) sent a letter to President Barack Obama in support of the posthumous pardoning of boxer Jack Johnson.  In 1913, Johnson was jailed and convicted of violating the Mann Act—a federal law prohibiting the transportation of women across state lines to participate in prostitution or immoral behavior.  Johnson often traveled with his wife, who was White.  To escape prison, Johnson moved to Europe but later returned and served 10 years in federal custody.
Intro - Imagine how hard it must be for Obama's famously basketball-crazed inner circle to manage the pressures of the White House during what must be their favorite three weeks on the sports calendar. The President has already announced his picks for the Final Four, but who do you think his cabinet members have winning it all? I assume that, like most of us, they'll pick with their hearts:McCain - The point is it’s American casualties. We’ve got to get Americans off the frontline, have the Iraqis as part of the strategy, take over more and more of the responsibilities, and then I don’t think Americans are concerned if we’re there for a hundred years or a thousand years or ten thousand years.

Obama - Contrary to the claims of some of my critics, Black and White, I have never been so naive as to believe that we can get beyond our racial divisions in a single election cycle, or with a single candidacy—particularly a candidacy as imperfect as my own.
