McCain Defends Obama Against Impeachment For Benghazi, Will ‘Give President Benefit Of The Doubt’
Mediaite ^ | May 12, 2013 | Jordan Chariton

Senator John McCain, who famously defended his then presidential opponent Barack Obama against an islamaphobic supporter during a 2008 campaign rally, defended President Obama once again on ABC’s This Week Sunday, cautioning his Republicans colleagues to cool it with talk of impeaching the President over the Benghazi attacks and its aftermath.

In response to Senator James Inhofe (R-OK) invoking the “I word,” McCain called for caution:

“With all due respect, I think this is a serious issue,” McCain told guest host Martha Raddatz. “I will even give the president the benefit of the doubt on some of these things. We need a select committee.”

On how much blame former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton deserves, McCain was much less generous:

“I think the Secretary of State has played a role in this…she had to have been in the loop in some way, but we don’t know for sure.”

McCain next turned his ire on the now official 2016 Republican attack-ad on Clinton’s “what difference does it make?” outburst during her Benghazi hearing....

McCain gave us Obammy in the first place, what with McCain refusing to question or attack his opponent (lack of experience, communist and islamicist AntiAmerican views, lack of constitutional qualification for the position, etc.)

and the rest of his time, McCain spent reassuring us that we could really vote for Obamma ... that Obamma’s a nice, intelligent, decent person after all....

what the HELL kind of political campaign was that!??
answer: “enabler McCain”

McCain brought us the islamoterrroristcommie regime
and now
McCain is protecting it

(stupid? a closet islamocommie himself? or just bought off like, say, Jimmy Carter and ?

There is one thing I sleep well knowing. History will put him alongside Chamberlin as an example of inept and flat out asinine ‘leadership’ that nearly destroyed their countries..

It WILL happen. His legacy is secure and nothing he will ever do will erase his actions.

I’ve been saying all along that he only talked tough about wanting an investigation so he could be out front to head off anything that might blow back on him.

I’m not in favor of impeaching the treasonous usurper. The simple fact is that the Democrats control the Senate, and they would not remove Obama under any circumstances because they are too racist to judge a person by the content of his character. Democrats cannot see past the color of Obama’s skin, and they see that racist loyalty as a tool to continue their monopoly on black votes, regardless of the damage inflicted to our country.

We need to focus on blocking any further damage to our country, repealing or defunding the existing damage, starting with ObamaCare, and preparing to retake the Senate in 2014. We can’t afford the distraction of an impeachment trial in a kangaroo court, not when there is zero chance of a positive result. We could have video of Obama admitting that he is a socialist who wants to spread other people’s wealth around as if everyone would benefit from destroying private property, admitting that he despises those of us who are religious and value the Second Amendment, admitting that he doesn’t even know how many states there are, and a thousand other un-American positions, and no one on the left would care.

Of course McCain will assist the "The Divine One" as McCain helped elect him. McCain in 2008 was a shill for "The Divine One" and today he is an avid supporter.

Shame on the people of Arizona!

Pathetic McLame, the guy who rolled over for Obama in the 2008 election only to later have Obama very publicly bitch slap him with “We’re Not Campaigning Anymore, the Election’s Over”, just can’t help being Obama’s patsy.

Oh for the love of pete. Why is there an “R” next to his name? It’s as useless as a tit on a bull.

Thanks just the same, but I don't need the sermon.

And tactically, given the impending EVIL of that malignant halfrican marxist bastard, I needn't feel any for punching that particular button either.

But it still makes my skin crawl.

Apparently other POW’s knew he was a squealer. He sang like a birdie to avoid the torture the others endured.

McCain was brainwashed in Nam...and it only took a little dab of soap.

And you are completely correct. Don’t worry though. Soon the fanclub will arrive to tell us we are all Obama supporters for ‘holding feet to the fire’.
