Sen. John McCain tells reporters that President Obama has fallen short of the vision he expressed in the last presidential campaign. 'Maybe this time the American electorate is interested in someone who has a proven record rather than rhetoric,' he says.
BY MICHAEL A. MEMOLI
WASHINGTON - As President Obama ramps up his reelection campaign, the man he defeated in 2008 says the Republican Party has a simple case to make in the effort to unseat him.
"He promised change and we really didn't see change," Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) told reporters Wednesday. "When you look at his campaign promises … the reality has not lived up to his vision as he articulated last time for America."

Poor guy.
He probably longs for the days he could sit with Tim Russert on Meet the Press around twenty times a year..
And talk about those bad ol’ conservatives.
Hey, McSame: SHUT-UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! QUIT!!!!!!!!!!!!! YOU’RE A JERK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My problem with obama is he’s changing TOO much.
McCain, what the heck are you thinking?
I thought you liked obama, seeing how you rarely hit back at him when he attacked you in the debates. You just stood there like a grinning statue.
He essentially nationalized two car companies, up-ended contract law to pay off his union buddies and impoverishing retiree bondholders, communized health-care, forced homos on the military, doubled the price of gasoline, reduced the workforce by 6 or 7 million, made the US a global laughingstock... John, how can you say he didn’t cause change?
I wish this man would go away and retire...together with Carter
Yeah but Trump could get elected. I would trust conservative congress with Trump as President. He would be A LOT better than Obama again.
A 58 DeSoto would be better than Obama again.
I agree. One problem with Obambi is that he HAS delivered change -— incredibly destructive change on EVERY conceivable level.
You know what this reminds me of?
That GEICO commercial where the man comes in with the posterboard signs to show the Gecko the new slogans he’s come up with.
Yeah . . . baby . . . um . . .
Juan - not a good message as it implies the change he promoted was a desirable thing. Failure in a destructive behavior is no vice, Juan.
“He promised change and we really didn’t see change,” Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) told reporters Wednesday. “When you look at his campaign promises … the reality has not lived up to his vision as he articulated last time for America.”
Let’s see: 4 trillion in new debt since he took office, a complete takeover of the healthcare system, a new war in Libya, a justice department that doesn’t prosecute crime (but sues states that try to protect their citizens from the war on the border!), nationalization of student loans, big banks and big autos, and back-door regulation of energy and CO2 through federal agencies that ignore Congress and the will of the people.
Yep, nothing to see here. Move along.
SOMEBODY PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE MAKE THE BAD MAN STFU !!!!!
I would still take Obama over Juan McCain.
and if we had been able to pick our candidate instead of having you foisted upon us we might not be having this conversation now would we, John?
I thought this was satire. We haven’t seen any change? He’s absolutely nuts.
I voted for Perot in 1992 and don’t regret it. I regret voting for mccain.
McCain, Sarah I’m still pissed off at here for supporting this POS.
McCain, Sarah I’m still pissed off at her for supporting this POS.
McCain is a war casualty. Send him to the farm!
Wasn’t it this brain-child (McCain) who stated that we had nothing to fear from an Obama presidency? Now he’s trying to be seen as a sage on political matters.
If a new award were to be designed just for McCain, I’d vote for ‘the Joe Biden award, for being the consummate intellectually vacant nut-job’.
