Senator Sore Loser embarrasses himself

Posted by AzBlueMeanie:

On Monday, President Obama held a "fiscal responsibility" summit to which he invited the GOP leadership – you know, that whole bipartisanship thing the GOP says doesn't happen, only it does. I'll Let John Amato over at Crooks&Liars blog retell what happened next John McCain embarrasses himself with his 'Helicopter fleet' question to President Obama: 

During President Obama's fiscal summit, he graciously called on John McCain first and gave him a really nice introduction. In response, McCain acted like a spiteful loser who showed no class, only disdain at not standing where Obama was. He attack[ed] President Obama over the cost of a fleet of helicopters:

"I'm going to start with John McCain, because,…you know, he and I had some good debates about these issues," President Obama said in the final session of the Fiscal Responsibility Summit. "But — and I mean what I say here — I think John has also been extraordinarily consistent and sincere about these issues. And I want to see if you've — John, you've got some thoughts about where we need to go and some priority areas. I know you were in procurement, for example, which is an area I know we would like to work on together with you."

"Well, thank you, Mr. President. And thank you for doing this…Just one area that I wanted to mention that I think consumed a lot of our conversation on procurement, it was the issue of cost overruns in the Defense Department. We all know how large the defense budget is."

And, McCain noted, "your helicopter is now going to cost as much as Air Force One. I don't think that there's any more graphic demonstration of how good ideas have — have cost taxpayers an enormous amount of money."

Obama said the helicopter he has now seems adequate, adding that he never had a helicopter before and "maybe I've been deprived and I didn't know it."

President Obama's humorous answer made McCain look foolish for asking about the helicopter fleet.

That's rich coming from a guy who is used to flying around the country on his wife's corporate jet. Senator Sore Loser embarrassed himself by behaving like a total ass. As I have said many times before, he just can't stop himself. It is how he earned the well-deserved nickname "McNasty."

As for the hellicopters McNasty complained about? They were ordered by George W. Bush quite some time ago. Obama had nothing to do with the procurement decision.

For the love of God, people, tell this spiteful, bitter old man that it is long past time for him to retire to his pseudo "McCain Ranch" (or one of the other 8 or 9 houses he owns – hell, even he doesn't know), and allow a new generation of political leaders to emerge in Arizona. Tell this dinosaur it's time for him to go.
