Excerpts From Obama's Remarks Wednesday in Virginia

Obama on "the latest made-up controversy by the John McCain campaign":

Calls it "the same game that has made people sick and tired of politics in this country."

"They seize on an innocent remark, try to take it out of context, throw up an outrageous ad because they know it's catnip for the news media."

"You know who ends up losing at the end of they day? It's not the Democratic candidate, it's not the Republican candidate. It's you, the American people."

"Enough! I don't care what they say about me, but I love this country too much to let them take over another election with lies and phony outrage and Swift Boat politics. Enough is enough."

"Spare me the phony outrage. Spare me the phony talk about change. We have real problems in this country right now. The American people are looking to us for answers-- not distractions, not diversions, not manipulations."

McCain camp response: “Barack Obama can't campaign with schoolyard insults and then try to claim outrage at the tone of the campaign. His talk of new politics is as empty as his campaign trail promises, and his record of bucking his party and reaching across the aisle simply doesn't exist.” –McCain-Palin spokesman Brian Rogers
