Angry McCain Slams Obama

Politico-“If it seems like I’m angry, it’s because I am,” McCain said, taking the White House to task for treating the bill as leftover business — and not subject to the full measure of earmark reform promised by candidate Obama. “Last year’s business?” McCain asked, incredulous. “The president will sign this appropriations bill into law. It is the president’s business. It is the president of the United States’ business. It is the president of the United States’ business to do what he said — stated — when we were in debate seeking the support of the American people — where he said he would work to eliminate earmarks.”

“We need earmark reform and when I’m president, I will go line by line to make sure we’re not spending money unwisely,” McCain said, reading back Obama’s words at a debate last fall. “That’s the quote, the promise of the president of the United States made to the American people in a debate with me in Oxford, Miss. So what is brought to the floor today — 9,000 earmarks.…So much for change.”

I've got to give McCain credit for this. I don't agree with him on everything, but on this point he is 100% correct. Obama is not some pragmatic politician that many intellectual Republicans were hoping he would be. He is a flat out big spending, big government liberal.

I am actually very surprised at how outspoken McCain has been against Obama. I thought he would cover for Obama while trying to get back in the good graces of the media. But he has slammed him on spending every step of the way so far. Keep it up.
