TUCSON, Ariz. — Former President Barack Obama on Friday contrasted former President Donald Trump’s character with that of the late Sen. John McCain during a packed rally at the University of Arizona.

Obama, who faced off against McCain in his successful bid for the White House in 2008, offered only kind words for his onetime political foe during his Friday remarks on behalf of the Harris-Walz campaign.

“Being here in Tucson, I’m thinking about my friend John McCain,” said Obama, speaking to several thousand Arizonans.

“I don’t want to overromanticize our relationship,” Obama continued, earning laughter from the crowd. “But you know what? He understood that some values transcend party. He believed in honest argument and hearing the views of other people. He didn’t demonize his political opponents.”

Sen. John McCain, like Zere0, was all about himself. Both were narcissists.

I want to join our occupation government leader in thanking McCain and all rinoublicans like him. Without them we would never have gotten President Trump. Thanks.

As much as McTurd was a backstabbing non-trustworth POS pretend Republican cheeseball, he was much, much more of a real man than Dorkbama, the muslim eunuch quota baby. McTurd had real jobs, and risked his life. As for Dorkbama, well, he....uh..and then he....uh....

Macaniac was the duty RINO who took the hit for not passing the end of Obamacare. Of course there was oodles of money on the table so I am sure they could pay him whatever he wanted to oppose that. Collaboration with the enemby seems to be his middle name.

Trump did not want to get involved in politics. If we had Reagan or Bush 41 in charge, I think Trump won't even bother.

Songbird gave cover to his fellow Democrats in the Keating 5 graft scandal.

McStain was a floater that finally flushed - unlike the still-floating Halfrican turd.

There was no reason for him to stop his campaign.

Sure there was - RINOs can't worry about winning presidential elections when Democrats might stop inviting them to the best Beltway parties.

Must have been crowded in McCain's ass, seeing as Lindsey Graham's head was always up it.

Thanks for posting that.

It seems that at least 2/3, maybe as many as 3/4 of the people attending the 0bama Harris Rally were shipped in from out of state, many from quite far away.

Seems like an expensive way to gaslight us peasants.

Well, he did vote to keep Obama Care.

Every time Sara Palin knocked one out of the ballpark, McCain would make it a point to do or say something stupid to intentionally poison the republican vice presidential campaign. Sara was a big mistake for him. Because of her, he actually had to try pretty hard to lose.
