John McCain has rare one-on-one with Barack Obama
Politico ^ | Feb. 2, 2011 | Meredith Shiner

With a “rapidly deteriorating” situation in Egypt, Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) had a rare one-on-one meeting at the White House with 2008 campaign rival Barack Obama to discuss policy in the Middle East and several other domestic issues.

Though McCain did not want to delve into details about the meeting upon returning to the Capitol Wednesday evening, he emphasized that his talk with Obama was “good” and that he believed the two would meet again with issues such as immigration reform, border security, trade and middle eastern policy.

Johnny gets to sellout America for not electing him. He likes his little buddy Barry.

I guess “conservative” McCain is gone until a few months before the next time he’s up for reelection. Now “maverick” McCain is back for the next six years. I wonder which Obama proposals he signed on to during this visit?

Now I could have sworn that Mitch McConnell was the Minority Leader.

IMO, McLame’s private face time with Obama is like Jimmuh Carter going off on his own to negotiate in foreign lands.

Obama’s just tidying up relations with a RINO he knows can be of great use to him in the near future. Not every politician will stab his own party in the back again and again just for the guaranteed MSM coverage and attention.

I think Juan is now 100% free of any lingering guilt about the things he said during his 2010 reelection campaign.

Well, we knew he was going to do this. He's right on schedule. IMO, he has fully exhausted his war hero capital.

McCain was and continues to be a Soros guy along with the rest of the RINO’s.

The Senate Republicans had best not put Mcbackstabber in charge of anything.

I did not see anything on the list about the unconstitutional obamacare and cutting the spending!

McCain is a menace.

“... he believed the two would meet again with issues such as immigration reform, border security, trade and middle eastern policy.”

Could he have been talking about the immigration reform necessary to completely eliminate natural born citizenship? Its about time. That troublesome Chief Justice Marshall, the one who gave the two of them such problems before the press and legislature came to their rescue, almost scotched their plan with his comment in The Venus, 12 U.S. 253:

“The citizens are the members of the civil society; bound to this society by certain duties, and subject to its authority, they equally participate in its advantages. The natives or indigenes [natural born citizens in Vattel's English translations] are those born in the country of parents who are citizens. Society not being able to subsist and to perpetuate itself but by the children of the citizens, those children naturally follow the condition of their fathers, and succeed to all their rights.”

Now he comes back to cause trouble in the Vinson Summary Judgment, threatening the socialist Utopia. They have probably sent Holder out to see if he can't find something embarrassing about Marshall. How about that French Widow he stayed with in Paris?

Be a man McCain, for one last time, and reveal what no one now in Congress has the courage to say, now that he actually is putting all of our children and grandchildren at immediate risk. The Court has been packed. You've chased out Congressman Nathan Deal and put Dr. Lakin, a decorated field grade officer and doctor in Leavenworth for daring to ask in the only way he had left. You can erase the legacy which will follow you to the grave, that you enabled a man whose parents did not possess sole allegiance to our nation to ascend to office to try to destroy us all, as the Dreams from His Father foretold. You know because you were part of hearing after hearing, two lawsuits, dozens of briefs and review articles, and were defended by Obama’s Constitutional Law professor, Larry Tribe, so that you could run cover for Obama. You made a terrible mistake, but you can fix it, and leave a legacy that human frailty, ambition and entitlement, was overcome by courage. You have standing which the packed court cannot evade. Chief Justice John Marshall is helping to save us from Obamacare, and, had we listened, Marshall told us why Obama is not Constitutionally elibible. Marshall (and a half dozen other justices) made that definition our common law
