McCain Tags Obama

McCain finally takes off the gloves and is starting to call out Obama for what he is:
"At least in Europe, the Socialist leaders who so admire my opponent are upfront about their objectives," McCain said in a radio address. "They use real numbers and honest language. And we should demand equal candor from Sen. Obama. Raising taxes on some in order to give checks to others is not a tax cut; it's just another government giveaway."

Glen Johnson, the AP stringer that wrote the story, sensationalizes McCain's observation by calling it "his charge." Unclear to me how giving a shout-out about Obama's wealth redistribution program is a "charge." But then, in this election cycle, the Obama campaign prefers to shoot the messenger rather than the message.
