After he stands with the White House on guns and immigration, McCain gets the big Biden shoutout. Sen. John McCain can be one of the White House’s toughest critics. But after backing President Obama on gun control and comprehensive immigration reform, McCain got a big shoutout from the White House Friday.
In the latest installment of “Being Biden” — the White House audio series featuring the Vice President describing moments in his week — Biden describes his recent trip to the McCain Institute in Sedona, Arizona where he appeared with the Republican Senator at a policy summit. Biden heaps praise on McCain, who he calls “my old friend of 35 years,” in the audio clip posted to the White House website.
Though McCain has continued to be a thorn in the side of the White House, particularly on foreign policy matters, McCain recently broke with many in his party to support universal background checks, a top White House priority. McCain is also a leading voice in the push for comprehensive immigration reform, another of Obama’s goals.
Biden said both he and McCain are looking for a return to bipartisanship in Washington.
“We’re both determined to reestablish the kind of trust between the parties and among senators and congressmen that existed all the years we served together,” Biden said.
Beyond sharing a desire for the mythical comity of old Washington, Biden said he and McCain share a lasting respect.
“He’s not only a great hero, he’s an honorable, decent man and he has the courage to vote his conscience and he’s my friend,” Biden said.
” “He’s not only a great hero, he’s an honorable, decent man and he has the courage to vote his conscience and he’s my friend,” Biden said.”
Translation: “ McCain is a traitor to the United States, like me”
Isn’t it about time for McCain to do an Arlen Specter?
they love him again at MSNBC too.
Antacid run......
The left wingers must continue to make McCain the face of the republican party. McCain is not liked by the conservative base so ties into why the prop him up. McCain is the poster boy for caving in- betraying his own party’s platform.
obama loves john mccain. bill clinton loves john mccain. hillary loves john mccain. uncle joe loves john mccain. What does that tell you about john mccain?
I’d settle for an ariel sharon.
Of course Biden loves McLame. Juan took dive to put him and Barry into the White House.
Joe Dumbass loves John McUseless
McCain is the undying shame of the good people of Arizona.
Of course Joe loves McCain, as does Obama.
Bingo. You are 100% correct sir.
I’d settle for a Teddy Kennedy.
May they get together for drinks again... soon.
have they announced the wedding yet?
> Sen. John McCain can be one of the White House’s toughest critics.
ROFL!
I think he meant when Bush was in office.
