More of McCain's Interview With the Chicago Tribune
Whether his multiple homes prevents him from understanding voters' economic stress:
“First of all, I think a lot of them know I spent 51/2 years in a lot of anxiety and pain. And I didn't have a kitchen table and I didn't have a chair.”
On voter anger toward the Bush administration:
“It's the head wind that I have.” “In difficult times, we've had a Bush administration, and [voters] want change. I've got to make a convincing case that I represent the right kind of change based on my record and outlining a strong agenda.”
On Obama and Iraq:
“He got the nomination in large degree by going to the far left of his party on Iraq. I chose the path which was least popular. I'm not questioning his patriotism. I'm questioning his judgment and I will continue to question his judgment and his qualifications to lead.”
On his POW experience:
“What I hear from everybody I know is that I don't talk about it enough. People keep saying to me, ‘Talk about it more…' I think that Sen. Obama has a great story to tell and certainly I don't begrudge him telling it.”
