WASHINGTON (CNN) You can't call John McCain a sore loser.
Seven months after Barack Obama defeated him in the U.S. presidential election, the Republican senator from Arizona said Sunday he thinks his former Senate colleague is making things happen in the White House.
"I think he's done well," McCain said on the CBS program "Face the Nation."
"He has achieved literally every one of his legislative accomplishments," McCain noted in reference to the economic stimulus package and other measures passed by Congress in recent months.
However, McCain said, the same partisan divisions remain in Congress despite Obama's campaign pledges of seeking bipartisan solutions.
"Unfortunately, it's by picking off a couple of Republicans" to support his measures instead of gaining real consensus, McCain said. "It's not been bipartisan."

This is why McCain is a moron. McMoron.

Just when you think John McCain or his stupid daughter can’t do anything else to undermine conservatism...they do it again!
No-one that believes in this country and it’s founding principles can say with a straight face that ‘Obama has done well’!!
What an idiotic and cowardly thing to say!!

What a *(&* dope.
This will be turned into an ad against any R who criticizes BO.
Juan cares only about his image.

"I think he's done well," McCain said on the CBS program "Face the Nation." "He has achieved literally every one of his legislative accomplishments," McCain noted Thanks McCain. That ought to "help" us in the 2010 elections.

How did somebody who went through what McCain did wind up to be such a mis-informed, gutless wuss?
I regret voting for him and sending money to the Republican’s.
When are the Pubs going to get some guts and speak out and speak the truth?

"He has achieved literally every one of his legislative accomplishments," McCain noted This should be the real headline:
Senator McCain admits that he and his party are completely useless

“He has achieved literally every one of his legislative accomplishments,”

...he got that right. Unfortunately, unless you own a brewery, as does Cindy, you’ll probably have a bit of difficulty paying for his “accomplishments”.

I wasted my vote by giving it to McCain. No more RINO’s — never again.

Somewhere, I know just SOMEWHERE MacPain had a focus on the country and not politics.../s
He needs to retire and let some young CONSERVATIVE take over and clean up the mess.

I see McCain and the GOP are still willing to settle for making comments from the bleachers.

You can't call John McCain a sore loser. Nope. You can't. As far as the face of Conservatism goes, he is just a festering sore.

Frankly, I voted for Sarah Palin.
Unfortunately, the 'pundits' keep attributing that to voting for McCain in spite of her, when it was the other way around.

The man has lost ‘it’ or guess he never had ‘it’. McCain lives in an evil world operated by evil and corrupt people and apparently has joined the group. Our nation is being destroyed day by day and we are watching the event unfold before our eyes.
