Minutes after President Barack Obama left a stage flanked by supporters where he implored Congressional Republicans to support a tentative deal to avoid going over the fiscal cliff, Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) took to the floor of the Senate to accuse the president of antagonizing Republicans. He said that, based on the presidents casual press conference, he and the American people have to wonder whether Obama believes it is in his interest to go over the cliff.
In his speech to his fellow colleagues in the Senate on Monday, McCain did not express any faith that Obamas press conference had moved the ball forward on negotiations to resolve the fiscal cliff.
What did the President of the United States just do, McCain asked. Well, he kind of made fun he made a couple of jokes. Laughed about how people are going to be here for New Years. Sent a message of confrontation to the Republicans; I believe he said, if they think theyre going to do that, theyve got another thought coming.

Once in a while, Senator McCain shoots straight. Very straight.

Oh wait...
I was just going to bring up this comment of candidate McCain but thanks for doing it for me.
I've F$%^&ing had it with HIM, and the Pubbies LIKE him!!
Since I've been voting..I totally feel like the GOP-E "ROPE A DOPES" Republican voter's constantly......
He came out in 2008..and told the public..Obama was a "good guy"....B.S.!!!!!!!!!
F@#k you McCain....I'm done with you..and the Pubbie Party.
McCain proves politics is Hollywood for the ugly.
McCain's concern for perception of historians and who gets blamed is duly noted, why don't you concentrate on doing what you know need to be done, Johnny?
However we are living in very dark times.
Happy New Year to you too :)
Heard mccain on local talk radio this morning trying to sound all caring and hard working. This a$$hole is WHY we have jug-ears in the white hut. And now he’s going to have another butt boy...jeff flake. Pray for our country.
However, I wish you and yours a Happy New Year!!
Who was that guy?
This is live theatre, specifically and purposely constructed to affect the tiny brains of those Americans who get their news from the mainstream media or Entertainment Tonight.
The MADD moms do a similar thing with their "victim impact panels" that people are ORDERED to attend by courts, with refusal putting them subject to arrest and incarceration.
This is all a joke. Sometimes I wonder why I bothered to educate myself and stay relatively up-to-speed.
Ditto to your post!
And a very Happy New Year to you too azishot!!
BTW, nice to see you ;)
Because once, like I, you once believed in the basic decency of your fellow man.
Both of us are now cured of that delusion. I pray more have their own moment of clarity. ASAP.
McCain: “my opponent is an honorable man. You have nothing to fear”.
Who cares McCain....You??
Jump over the cliff already. That damn thing has been there since the last GOP cave-in. I find spineless elected leaders as the most repugnant waste of space in my world.
Please stop posting articles about McCain. Romney, too.
Zero either has confidence that Mitchy and Johnny will play nice no matter how he demeans them, or he really doesn’t care and just can’t help being such a no=class POS. I used to think the Clintons had taken the Presidency to the run-down trailer park mode - the Obamas have moved it to the bad side of town’s ghetto.
