McCain Warns Bachmann
July 14, 2011 12:18 P.M.

She is acting “sort of like Senator Obama did.”

Over in the House, “I am told that it is very difficult,” McCain says. “There are Republicans who are committed, like Michele Bachmann, to vote against raising the debt limit under any circumstances.” Bachmann, he warns, is acting “sort of like Senator Obama did.”

In 2006, then-senator Obama refused to lift the debt limit. Speaking on the floor, Obama ascribed his opposition to the “failure” of George W. Bush to address the country’s fiscal problems.

McCain has little patience for such posturing. He tells me that political disagreement with the president — any president — should not jeopardize the credit rating of the United States.

“What some of my colleagues on the Republican side don’t understand is that sometime before August 2, the markets would start reacting in a negative fashion,” McCain says. “Sure, we might be able to divert funds from one pot to another to keep things going, but that’s not what the president is going to do.”

This is just his way of letting his boss know that McCain has thought about what Obama said that day( about winning the election) And this is just his way of letting the President know he has been talking to his good friend Quick John Kerry who was in Vietnam,and they both agree to stand together again and defend the President.Methinks its the stuff inculcated in him when he was a guest at the Hanoi Hilton.
