McCain team: Obama's team is lying

By GottaLaff

Apparently, John Sidney McBroke's team is a little worried about their ability to raise money. And who can blame them? Now they're pointing fingers at the Obama campaign:

John McCain’s campaign is denying an account by staffers on Barack Obama’s team that the rival campaigns had been involved in discussions over whether or not they would accept public funds.

Obama counsel Bob Bauer said Thursday he had met with Trevor Potter, his counterpart on the McCain team, on June 6 to discuss a possible joint town hall appearance later in the month, and that the two discussed the public funding issue for 45 minutes.

Now that's not just a mere mention, some minor remark that one might gloss over while scouring their defective memory bank. That's a full-blown discussion. Kinda hard to miss.

“I asked him to address a [series] of issues of concern to the Obama campaign–the McCain campaign's active raising and spending of private money since February for a general election campaign, including for media, while we were still in the middle of a primary contest,” said Bauer in a statement. “He gave me his perspectives–the best arguments he could offer for an agreement on both sides to accept public financing–and it was clear to me that these offered no basis for any further exchange.”

What a liar! Pants on fire! His nose is longer than an NSA-tapped wire!

McCain spokeswoman Jill Hazelbaker flatly said Thursday that Bauer “never negotiated with Potter about public financing.”

Others in the McCain camp said that Obama’s staffers are “libeling” their attorney, and lying about the discussion – that the two counsels were meeting on a separate topic entirely, and that there were no negotiations on public finance.

Think, think, think: What could motivate them to make such harsh claims? Who has the most to lose here? Uh-huh.
