Below are a couple of screencaps of quotes from an Obama camp spokesman responding to McCain’s remarks about Obama and Supreme Court Justices. Here are portions of what McCain said:

For both Senator Obama and Senator Clinton, it turned out that not even John Roberts was quite good enough for them. Senator Obama in particular likes to talk up his background as a lecturer on law, and also as someone who can work across the aisle to get things done. But when Judge Roberts was nominated, it seemed to bring out more the lecturer in Senator Obama than it did the guy who can get things done.

Obama’s rep, Tommy Vielor, had this to say:

Know what I say? PLEASE, U.S. Government… LEAVE me to fend for myself! I don’t want you in my life, don’t NEED you in my life, so please please, leave me to fend for myself, except for those things regarding protecting our borders and defending this country. For it is I who knows better than you what I need and can provide for my own life.
