Sen. John McCain came to the defense of President Barack Obama Thursday, saying he understands the anger and emotion the president displayed when he denounced those who voted against a universal background check amendment as part of a larger Senate gun-control measure.
McCain told CNN he sympathized with Obama's description of the vote on Wednesday as a “shameful” day in Washington because lawmakers failed to pass the legislation that grew out of the tragic December massacre of 20 schoolchildren and six educators in Newtown, Conn.
“I understand how the president felt very strongly,” McCain said. “He was in Newtown. He feels the suffering of the families, and I can certainly understand, given his point of view, why the president got somewhat emotional.”
When asked if he agreed with Obama's claim that gun-rights groups had lied about what was in the bill and what it would do, McCain said he “didn’t pay a great deal of attention” to what the opponents of the measure said.
McCain was just one of six Republicans to vote in favor of extending background checks to gun-show and online sales.

Arizona: mwe are proud of you for many things but NOT this BOZO of BOZOs.
He is an imbecile who has hid 100% behind his honorable military service. Proof he has nothing else of value in his life to offer the American people.

I voted for his opponent in the last election. First vote for a democrat in a long time, but I figured McCain existed to give cover for Democrats, so what would be the loss?

Both he (McCain) and John Kerry abandoned the VN POWs and MIAs.

he’s probably going to retire soon so he feels the need to disparage us because he wasn’t elected president. I thank the Lord he wasn’t.
Be on your way McCain, WE have no interest in what you have to say. BTW, take Goober with you.

In 2008, the GOP ran a commie bastard as their presidential nominee.
In 2012, the GOP ran the guy who introduced Socialized medicine to America.
I'm out.
