在许多问题上小马说“McCain is right”时，是为了反击老马对他的抹黑，是澄清
他在这些问题上并不是像老马说的持反对意见。其实许多问题双方的看法差别并不
大，但是就算他的观点和你一致，也应该避免直接承认，这就是政治。但是即使在
有些使用不当的地方，我们也看到小马很诚实。下面是“九个正确”原文：
1．On spending cuts (不但亡羊补牢，更要防患未然)：
Well, I think Senator McCain is absolutely right that we need more responsibility,
but we need it not just when there is a crisis.
2．On spending cuts II (同意削减开支，但削减的项目不同)：
Not willing to give up the need to do it but there may be individual components
that we can't do. But John is right we have to make cuts. We right now give
$15 billion every year as subsidies to private insurers under the Medicare
system. Doesn't work any better through the private insurers. They just
skim off $15 billion.
3．On earmarks (小马早就意识到老马才意识到的问题)：
Well, Senator McCain is absolutely right that the earmarks process has been
abused, which is why I suspended any requests for my home state, whether
it was for senior centers or what have you, until we cleaned it up.
4．On lobbyists(同意这是个问题，但不是我的问题)：
He's also right that oftentimes lobbyists and special interests are the
ones that are introducing these kinds of requests, although that wasn't
the case with me.
5．On business taxes being too high (小马自己也有为小企业减税计划)：
Now, John mentioned the fact that business taxes on paper are high in this
country, and he's absolutely right.
6．On violence in Iraq going down (应该改为“我们应该看到，乱象减少的代价
是．．．”)
Senator McCain is absolutely right that the violence has been reduced as
a consequence of the extraordinary sacrifice of our troops and our military
families.
7.．On POTUS needing to use prudent language: (but added after the McCain
bomb, bomb Iran gaffe)(语言用得不太恰当，应该说“我从来没有．．．”)
And, John, you're absolutely right that presidents have to be prudent in
what they say.
8.．On Iraq being difficult (应该说“伊拉克的困局是众所周知的．．．”)
Now, Senator McCain is also right that it's difficult. This is not an easy
situation.
9．On not tolerating Iran having nukes (应该说“我从来没有．．．”)
Senator McCain is absolutely right, we cannot tolerate a nuclear Iran.
