ARLINGTON, Va., Aug. 28 (UPI) -- Sen. John McCain's presidential campaign Thursday said Barack Obama made a "misleading speech" in his acceptance speech at the Democratic convention in Denver.
"Tonight, Americans witnessed a misleading speech that was so fundamentally at odds with the meager record of Barack Obama," said McCain spokesman Tucker Bounds. "When the temple comes down, the fireworks end, and the words are over, the facts remain: Senator Obama still has no record of bipartisanship, still opposes offshore drilling, still voted to raise taxes on those making just $42,000 per year, and still voted against funds for American troops in harm's way."
The Obama campaign has refuted the McCain campaign claims.
Issued from McCain's headquarters in Arlington, Va., Tucker's statement said, "The fact remains: Barack Obama is still not ready to be President."
McCain, the presumptive Republican nominee, released a 30-second television ad Thursday congratulating Obama on "a job well done" in securing the Democratic presidential nomination.
