Whakakiia te rerenga e whai ake nei: Ko McPeak he tumuaki tahi o
Ko te pakanga perehitini a Barack Obama i te tau 2008. I whakaputahia e ia he tautohetohe i muri i nga korero i puta ia i te whakaaturanga pakanga i Medford, Oregon i reira i kii ai ia ko te Perehitini o mua a Bill Clinton i puta mai ki te patai i te aroha whenua o Obama: "Hei tangata i whakapehapeha i te 37 tau i mau i te kākahu o to tatou whenua, he pouri ahau ki te kite i te perehitini e whakamahi ana i enei tikanga. Ko ia anake te tangata e mōhio ake ana, nā te mea ko ia tonu te ūnga o taua momo rautaki". I whakatauritea hoki e McPeak nga korero a te Perehitini o mua ki te McCarthyism: "I tipu ake ahau, i haere au ki te whare wānanga i te wa e whakapae ana a Joe McCarthy i nga Amerikana pai he kaituku, na kua nui taku".
