President Barack Obama called Senator John McCain (R., Ariz.) last year to thank him for casting the decisive vote against legislation that would have effectively repealed Obamacare, according to an excerpt of McCain’s forthcoming memoir obtained by NBC.
In McCain’s memoir, The Restless Wave: Good Times, Just Causes, Great Fights, and Other Appreciations, which he coauthored with longtime aide Mark Salter, he describes receiving a call from Obama in July after crushing Republican hopes of dismantling the former president’s signature domestic achievement.
Obama called to say thank you and added that he was “counting on me to be an outspoken and independent voice for the causes I believed in as I had been during his presidency,” McCain wrote of the call.

McCain's been a traitor his whole life.
Phuck McNuts!
I wonder when he will assume room temperature?
Swamp Creatures...
Good grief.
McCain’s actions did not cause the fire on the Forrestal. Continuing to repeat that lie does no one any good.
Bttt
Obama should call Trump to thank him for signing the omnibus spending bill.
Yeah so that’s why the Navy kept the incident sealed from the public because it had nothing to do with Admiral McCain’s son and a cover up for a U.S. Senator.
If you are gullible enough to believe that, then I have beach front property in Nebraska to sell you. It has a great view of the ocean!
He’s a traitor to the party if not the country, but I’m sure his captors fattened him up prior to release.
Folks I wouldn’t put it past the man to have a “register of party affiliation change” sitting next to him....or already signed, to be dated the day before he passes.
Arizona law apparently says a governor must replace a vacant Senate seat with someone from the same registered party as the previous occupant.
McCain seems to be that kind of person.
They are going to need an armed guard at his grave.
Then Ducey huddles with the person he wants and has them change their party affiliation to what McCain changed to.
I can believe he did not wet start the fire on the Forrestal: His exhaust was ;ointed the wrong direction - away from the Zuni-launching aircraft.
But.
McCain IS a very rare flyer: He is one of the few Cold War aces: He shot down, destroyed, crashed, ejected from or burned up five enemy (er, US Navy) planes.
Once an asshole, always an asshole.
I hate McCain as much as anyone else on this forum, but he did not cause the Forrestal fire.
Sen. John McCain—NVA.
It’s a shame that he can’t be enjoying the benefits of obamacare now.
