Obama Questions McCain's Patriotism

I thought, per the Convention speech, this kind of stuff was off limits for Obama:

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?"

Why open the door to a line of attack you've specifically decried in a speech before millions of people? The smell of desperation is in the air.
