McCAIN ALSO THINKS AMERICA ISN'T WHAT IT ONCE WAS

The wingnuts have been braying about Obama's statement to a young girl that America isn't what it once was but they overlook the fact that McCain said essentially the same thing in an interview with BeliefNet when he talked about the Iraq War:

The problem is, we mishandled it terribly. I do agree and most people do - we're a shining city on a hill. Has that shining city been dimmed and tarnished by our reputation in the world today? Of course, of course it has been. But, I still believe we have that role and mission to fulfill in the world.

This gives a little more weight to McCain's previous statement that sometimes it's hard to be proud of America.
