Obama Defends McCain's Military Service
Ill. Senator Also Touts His Own Patriotism In Missouri Speech
INDEPENDENCE, Mo., June 30, 2008
(CBS/AP) Flanked by American flags, Barack Obama forcefully defended his patriotism Monday against anyone who would challenge it, declaring he wouldn't stand still for persistent loyalty rumors aimed at sinking his presidential campaign.
However, he was forced to interrupt his Fourth of July week event - at Harry Truman's old home in Independence, Mo. - to respond to Republican rival John McCain's complaint that it was actually Obama and his campaign who were wrongly questioning the importance of McCain's military service.
McCain said that "that kind of thing is unnecessary," and the Obama camp agreed.
Obama praised McCain's service, and the Democratic candidate's spokesman rejected Sunday's remarks from a prominent supporter, retired Gen. Wesley Clark, who said McCain's years as a Vietnam War fighter pilot and prisoner of war did not necessarily qualify him to be commander in chief.
Although Obama did not rebuke Clark by name, aides repeatedly said that Clark did not speak on behalf of the campaign, reports CBS News' Maria Gavrilovic. Obama spokesman Bill Burton released the following statement: "As he's said many times before, Senator Obama honors and respects Senator McCain's service, and of course he rejects yesterday's statement by General Clark.”
