ABC News: Obama: McCain Scoring 'Cheap Political Points'

ABC News: Obama: McCain Scoring 'Cheap Political Points': "'Why don't we just clear it up right now,' Obama told ABC News' Charlie Gibson in an exclusive interview for World News. 'I'll repeat again what I've said many times. This is a guy who engaged in some despicable acts 40 years ago when I was eight years old. By the time I met him, 10 or 15 years ago, he was a college professor of education at the University of Illinois . . . And the notion that somehow he has been involved in my campaign, that he is an adviser of mine, that . . . I've 'palled around with a terrorist', all these statements are made simply to try to score cheap political points.'

Obama said that the McCain campaign is making personal attacks 'the centerpiece of the discussion in the closing weeks of a campaign where we are facing the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression and we're in the middle of two wars.'
