Amid Afghanistan Debate, All Eyes on Obama and McCain [McCain says he is "respectful" of Obama]

It was just a year ago when Obama and McCain (Ariz.) were trading sharp words, by long distance on the campaign trail and face-to-face in three presidential debates. Obama won those rounds and the presidency. McCain now describes their relationship as "respectful," but respectful as part of "the loyal opposition."

They came together to kill the F-22 fighter jet project. They have parted ways on health care and the stimulus package. They are now sparring over Afghanistan. The issue is whether to send 40,000 more troops there, as Gen. Stanley McChrystal, the commander of U.S. forces, has proposed.

Now I know why he lost.

One must be “respectful” of Chicago thug wannabe dictators. It’s what good RINO’s do.

“McCain says he is “respectful” of Obama”

In all fairness to McCain, he did do his best to help Obama win. Grrrrrr!

"Respectful" of a nobody! That's really kicking the conservative base in the teeth!

“That’s really kicking the conservative base in the teeth! “

McCain is a thoroughgoing expert at kicking conservatives in the teeth.

Why did you put up a link that doesn't work?

McCain does not agree with Obama on several issues, most importantly Afghanistan.

I guess you just needed a hate McCain fix for the day, eh?

Or maybe you are trying to make yourself feel better because you helped give our troops this POS CINC.

He has a bit less respect for his constituents in AZ.

Don't ask McCain

Oh yeah, I forgot. obama is a good man, a good family man. We have nothing to fear of an obama presidency. Candidate John McCain said so as he forgot to run for president in the race between him and obama.
