Despite the fact that he might have wished he had been the man who just finished his first address to a joint session of Congress as president, Sen. John McCain had kind words for President Obama's address this evening.
"The president gave a very effective speech," McCain told Katie Couric on CBSNews.com's presidential webcast following Mr. Obama’s address. "His delivery and the theme of the speech was excellent."
Still, McCain said, "now I would like to know how we are going to implement it."
"I don't know where Social Security was,” McCain said. “I don't know how you increase all of these programs and still cut spending to a point where you cut the deficit in half.”
Couric asked McCain if his former political rival "convinced him at all" to support his policies.
"He makes a compelling case that we need to work together and reform healthcare," the senator replied.
. . . . .
"I am proud of our campaign," McCain added.
Of his running mate Sarah Palin, McCain said: "I think she will continue to play a role in the Republican party and an important one." He said it was a little early to tell whether she will be the GOP nominee for president in 2012.

Yeah, Hitler's speeches and delivery were excellent as well, huh McLame?
This is why I have issues with McCain!!!!!!!!!!
Instead we should be thankful to Senator McCain for giving us Sarah Palin.
It was a pleasure to remove my McCain bumperstrip from my SUV! Wish he would just sit down and shut-up and leave the scene!
At least he voted against it.
Which one? The bailout or Porkulus Maximus?
I’m getting sick of hearing every republican fall all over themselves talking about how great 0bama is, and how historic he is. Even Jindal devoted the first few minutes of his speech to this kind of crap. For me, that ruined his entire speech.
I never thought I’d see a candidate that would make me think of the Dole 96 campaign with fondness until McCain.
Mission accomplished, Senator.
Without him, we havea good chance at a strong comeback against Zero. With him, no damned chance.
His wife would be a much better President.
You ain’t seen nothin’ yet. Wait ‘til illegal alien amnesty rolls in hot again.
He is running for re-election in AZ. He is in stealth campaign mode right now. This time, his re-election will not be a cake walk. He needs to be put out to pasture. Hopefully, he will be defeated in the primary.
Say it over an over for the next four years:
The Media chose our “candidate” in ‘08.
