John McCain campaign stop at Lakeville, MN. Republican presidential candidate JohnMcCain interrupted boos from his supporters and tried to curb theiranger toward his Democratic opponent Friday during a town hallmeeting in Minnesota. McCain has let angry shouts against Sen. Barack Obama passunchecked at previous rallies. This time he stepped in, while many in a crowd of about 2,000booed when McCain said he admired Obama and his accomplishments. "First of all I want to be president of the United States -obviously I do not want Senator Obama to," McCain said at onepoint. "But I have to tell you - I have to tell you he is a decentperson and a person that you do not have to be scared of aspresident of the United States." The crowd booed again. The event in the Twin Cities suburb of Lakeville was partcampaign rally, part town hall meeting - and many of the questionsfocused on Obama. "I can't trust Obama," said Gayle Quinnell, 75, of Shakopee."I have read about him and he's not, he's not - he's an Arab." McCain shook his head and cut her off: "No, no. He's a decentfamily man, citizen, that I just happen to have disagreements withon fundamental issues, and that's what this campaign is allabout."
