McCain Says He's Feeling 'A Little Left Out'

DENVER, Colo. (AP) ― John McCain's is using a weekly radio address to take some jabs at his Democratic rival's trip abroad.

He says the presidential contest became "a long-distance affair" this week, as Barack Obama made speeches abroad to "the people of the world." McCain says he began to feel "a little left out" and wonders if the American people did, too.

McCain also took aim at what he called Obama's "multiple positions" on the surge in Iraq. He says Obama says he still would oppose sending extra troops to Iraq. McCain said -- quote -- that's "not the kind of judgment we seek in a commander-in-chief."

The Republican candidate adds that Obama is now urging the U.S. to send two new combat brigades to Afghanistan. As McCain puts it, his opponent denies the surge in Iraq worked, while calling for one in Afghanistan.

McCain also spoke about the economy and the need for the U.S. to end its dependence on foreign oil.
