WASHINGTON -- Sen. John McCain said Sunday President Barack Obama has failed in his effort to be a bipartisan leader.

McCain, who lost the election to Obama last year, says the success of Obama's initiatives in Congress shouldn't be mistaken for bipartisanship.

As one example, McCain said the health care bill was written without Republican input.

McCain said that while Obama has managed to pick off a few Republican votes, the president has failed to change the partisan climate in Washington as he said he wanted.

Captain Obvious Ping!

Obozo NEVER had any thought of being an bipartisan leader.

It was, is and always will be about HIM and only HIM.

Dayam, John, did you really expect anything different, while you were kissing those liberal butts?

[don-o]

Oh Goody. Another McCain thread. What a great day. I believe that about 75 since noon.

Bipartisanship has different meanings for each party.
For Republicans it means both parties work together and reach a conclusion that is good for the country. For Democrats it means Republicans cave and do whatever the Democrats want.

Man I wish McCain would just do everyone a favor and ride off into the sunset.

McCain is a Moron!
Why should Obama be a “bipartisan leader” when McCain is out there telling what a great job Obama is doing?

[MamaB]

Is he really that dense? Most if not all of us here knew that before the election.

[goodnesswins]

I don’t want any DA*N “Bi-partisanship”......I want the DEMS seen for the Commies they are.....

[mulligan]

He is not a leader at all, of anything worthwhile. He is a complete 100% disaster and failure for America and Americans.

McCain is a loser like his dad. He’s not worth reading about because he’s the reason we are in this damn boat.

If he had done his job we supported him for this BIRTHCERTIFICATE would have come out earlier. I hope people enjoy being manipulated by this family.

I gotta say, it was a pretty dang funny election campaign. Obama, the guy whose whole history (what there was of it) was partisan, campaigned as a bipartisan. Okay, so politicians misrepresent things. What a news flash. The amazing part was the way so many millions of Americans actually BOUGHT IT!!! It's weird, wild stuff to figure out.

Meanwhile, McCain, a man so bipartisan as to make Republicans and conservatives apoplectic, was successfuly portrayed by Obama's campaign (with help from his fawning media) as a partisan hack. The amazing part was that so many millions of America BOUGHT IT!!! It's weird, wild stuff to figure out.

It's no puzzle to me why liberals supported Obama. Makes perfect sense. But the fact that so many moderates and self proclaimed conservatives did so, believing Obama to be something besides a liberal, remains truly mind boggling.

Ya beat me to it.

[Oldpuppymax]

This guy’s a genius.

[Paperdoll]

Too little AND too late! You’re outta here, McCain!

[Cheetahcat]

Yeah McQueeg about the same as you being a Republican

[goat granny]

McCain not acting like a Rino, must be election time for him......

[airborne]

What's with all of the McCain stories lately?

Is John running cover for 0bama, or just trying to be relevant?

Whatever the reason, the media doesn't put out so many stories like this without a hidden agenda. I am suspicious...
