McCain had few kind words for Obama’s initial moves as president. He called it “disingenuous” for the White House to impose new rules to limit the influence of lobbyists but immediately claim an exemption for William Lynn III, the nominee to be deputy Defense secretary, who has lobbied on behalf of defense contractor Raytheon Co.
McCain said he would not have announced the pending closure of Guantanamo, as Obama did last week by signing an executive order, without having first decided what to do with the 245 detainees being held there.
And the senator said he would not support the stimulus plan in its current form, asserting that it should have more tax cuts and less emphasis on projects, such as repairing the National Mall or extending broadband access to rural areas.
We’re getting conflicting reports about John McCain and Obama’s friendship of late. Could it be that Obama is trying to play the internet into his favor? From what this report says, McCain isn’t very happy with Obama as president!
Remember this?

Now I will ask again, could it be that Obama is trying to play the internet in his favor? Someone or some group is feeding the news a bunch of bull s-it would you not say?
McCain is playing the old “double maverick” game. No one can say what he’ll do next.
Isn’t that just what a politician does…..double talk in away that what they say can mean anything we want it to?
With McCain, the problem isn’t double talk. He’s not very good at double talk, and that’s one of his good points. What he is is totally unpredictable, and that’s one of his bad points.
That too! LOL
I don’t know how the Vietnamese ever shot him down. Just luck.
Since when is being predictable a good point? How many politicians have said one thing and done another? Every one of them at some point. Someone in America is always going to like him and someone is always going to hate him, no matter what his views or what he says.
I think John McCain was a hero + he had more experience than Obama, but I didn’t agree with his policies. I like him better than Obama and voted for McCain! We didn’t have much of a choice when it came to where these two was on the issues.
I’ll admit, him being in the military, being on the USS Forrestal, and being a POW swayed my decision to vote for McCain. I didn’t pay as much attention to the policies as I should have, I just know that Obama was “groomed” and I didn’t like that at all. Then him not having his BC, his records not being public knowledge, his questionable associations, and the possibility of him being Muslim or having strong ties to them was a huge issue to me. There were too many holes in his stories. I don’t remember any real “scandals” involving McCain, unless you want to count the way his first marriage ended, or the way his next began, but that’s more “normal” than announcing your run for president from a terrorist’s home. Was there anything noteworthy that I missed?
We agree fully!
