McCain Defends Obama’s Anger Over Gun Measure (Yes, the idiot actually said this)
newsmax ^ | 4/19/13 | c coren

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.

I’m embarrassed to have him as one of my Senators. What a traitor. Surely, he must be retiring because there would be no way he would be re-elected.

I agree. I think that McCain’s father was the Admiral in charge of all the ships in the Tonkin Gulf during his capture.

Ms. McCain seemingly lives for heavy petting from the NYT.

He knows better than any of this, one suspects.

I voted for Palin. In 2012 I voted for Ryan.

I had no illusions about McCain or Romney.

I thought McCain was against torture? So why does he continue to torture the American people with his twisted logic, lame response and support of Liberals? Go fishing John, it’s time to sit in the boat and fish, just go.

Exactly, but it sounds like he doesn’t believe in America.

He just needs to make it offical and become a Democrat.

10-4. I contributed to JD. Arizona is my adoptive home state after a life as a military brat. No place really seemed like home until I was stationed at Huachuca after my tour in Tehran.

It was McSlimes smear machine that kept a good man from taking that post.
