McCain calls out Obama for admitting on “a television program” that the surge exceeded beyond his “wildest expectations.”
He’s got the quote slightly wrong. I’m pretty sure he’s referring to Obama’s visit to The No Spin Zone, where Obama said “I’ve already said it’s succeeded beyond our wildest dreams.”
So “a television program” is McCain’s euphemism for The O’Reilly Factor. Why no love for Bill-O? C’mon McCain! That’s no way to stoke the base!!
