a bitter, old man speaks.....

[spanone]

Shortly after President Obama addressed the nation from the White House, his former presidential campaign opponent Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) delivered a blistering critique on the Senate floor, blaming the president for seeking short-term political gain at the expense of the nation’s economy.

“I’ve been around this town for a number of years, and as is well know, had an interest in the presidency more than academic,” McCain said as he began. He noted that his perch as a lawmaker has afforded him a chance to see several presidents handle national moments of crisis.

“But I must say, at a time of crisis on New Year’s Eve, when at midnight at least certain actions take place — or have to be planned to take place — we have a president of the United States go over and have a cheerleading, ridiculing of Republicans,” McCain said.

“As I watched other presidents address crises, the way that they were able to resolve them and resolve them with presidential leadership – and that’s why we elect presidents, to lead – they did it by calling the leaders of both parties to the White House, to sit around the table and do the negotiations and the discussions and they are sometimes concessions have to be made, compromises have to be made,” McCain noted.

3. When I read your title I thought of McCain and was not disappointed

I wonder why he thinks the President is the only one that has to compromise??
and how come boner can not lead the House??
and it is not up to the President to negotiate the bill
it is up to the House and Senate to come up with a bill

mccain is also an idiot

6. Someone writes "a bitter, old man speaks....." and no one need ask who.

Sad for him. Deserved.

7. This is nothing more than

posturing by the Rethugs. They don't want a any deal,their ideals are very obvious at this late time and that is to completely blow up the U.S.economy and hope the people will elect a bullet proof Rethug Congress in 2014. Just look at the text of what McGrummpy said,he is speaking in condescending phases. McGrummpy is not that bright of a light bulb,you know one of his staff wrote this hit piece. This turkey is as dumb as a box of rocks,it's the staffers who call all the shots,just more of the same chickenshit game playing. Face it guy's,they don't want to deal with a Non White President.

9. Umm, I think he did "call them to the White House, sit around the table and do the negotiations"

Quote from McCain:

“As I watched other presidents address crises, the way that they were able to resolve them and resolve them with presidential leadership – and that’s why we elect presidents, to lead – they did it by calling the leaders of both parties to the White House, to sit around the table and do the negotiations and the discussions and they are sometimes concessions have to be made, compromises have to be made,” McCain noted.

Has McCain been asleep?

12. I have never in my life heard such whining from grown-ass men.

Jesus. STFU, McWhiny.

[Pretzel_Warrior]

13. DEAL with it McTrash. You are a crazy gomer

And you lost both of your tries for president--just like RMoney.

You and your idiocracy party brought this own yourselves with your race baiting and insults and lack of cooperation toward MY president and YOUR president, Barack Hussein Obama.

Fuck you.

14. I wish he would just go away

and stop acting like the pukes have done anything to actually move towards working together.

his idea of compromise is just like the rest of his party, give them everything they want and more.
