"Just ask the machinists in Pennsylvania who build Harley-Davidsons," Obama said of McCain's record. "Because John McCain didn’t just oppose the requirement that the government buy American-made motorcycles, he called Buy American provisions 'disgraceful.' Just ask the workers across this country who have seen their jobs outsourced. The very companies that shipped their jobs overseas have been rewarded with billions of dollars in tax breaks that John McCain supports and plans to continue.
"So, when American workers hear John McCain talking about putting 'Country First,'" Obama said, "it’s fair to ask –- which country?"
Tapper has a spin on this:
Um ... isn't that pretty much the dictionary definition of questioning someone's patriotism?
I think it's more accurate to say that McCain puts global corporations ahead of American workers. Obama is also attacking the Phil Gramm/Club for Growth wing of the GOP.
