Sen. Barack Obama’s presidential campaign is going after Republican rival Sen. John McCain, questioning whether the Arizona senator is offering contradictory language on the hot-button issue of immigration reform following a closed-door meeting McCain held with activists during a recent trip to Chicago.

The criticism leveled by Robert Gibbs, Obama’s communications director, marked a day of accusations between the Obama and McCain camps over which presumptive presidential nominee is more guilty of political doublespeak–a shorthand way to describe pandering versus truth telling. The Obama camp’s move may be aimed at deflecting criticism the Democratic candidate said one thing–promising to negotiate a pact with McCain on public financing–and did another by rejecting it.”*
