Among the first to have his knuckles rapped was Sen. John McCain (Ariz.). The 2008 Republican presidential nominee accused his former rival of "unsavory" dealmaking, of breaking his promise to put health-care negotiations on C-SPAN, of supporting a 2,400-page bill, of giving favors to lobbyists and special interests. He directed Obama to "go back to the beginning" with health-care reform. "Let me just make this point, John," the president said when the tirade ended. "We're not campaigning anymore. The election's over." Teacher directed student to drop the "talking points" and "focus on the issues of how we actually get a bill done." And yet despite his catty retort Obama entirely ignored the substance of what McCain said about special favors and the back room deals. I wish McCain would have replied back..."so are you saying that you endorse the backroom bribes and lack of transparency...for the record?"

(Obama has lost or not saved over 4 million jobs!)

That was one of the funniest exchanges. McCain reminds Obama of his campaign promises, and Obama’s answer is “we aren’t campaigning anymore” — meaning I suppose that he just lied to get elected and John should know better.

Mac’s response should have been:
Yes, I’m aware the campaign is over. Are you? You are the one,SIR, who seems stuck in perpetual campaign mode.
