One audience member asked the former Presidential contender if President Obama didn't realize that some of the changes he's calling for goes against the Constitution. Sen. McCain responded that he's sure the president respects the Constitution. Some town hall attendees booed the senator's response. McCain added tried to hush the boos, reminding the room that the president of the United States is owed respect. "I'm sure that he respects the Constitution of the United States. I really do. I'm absolutely convinced of it," Sen. McCain said.

GREAT!!!!

He’s a slimy stinking s.o.b. who helped put Obama in the White House like Bush I helped put Clinton there.

[what's up]

McCain needs to quit and co-host “The View” along with his daughter.

[snowrip]

McDumbass needs to STFU. Let’s see him try and get the Gang of 14 together again to pass a “bipartisan health reform bill”. He’ll be lynched, and with good reason.

[machogirl]

sorry John, I respect the office of the President, but not the marxist that now occupies it.

why doesn’t my senator get it?

[Homer_J_Simpson]

I imagine he does understand it, sort of. The problem is he doesn't like it.

[chippewaman]

Arizona residents, please vote him out in the 2010 GOP Primary. Please! No more RINOs!

“McCain added tried to hush the boos, reminding the room that the president of the United States is owed respect.”

It’s the OFFICE of the PRESIDENT which is Owed Respect, John, not the person. And the Voters have shown nothing but DISRESPECT for the Office itself by allowing Zero to hold it.

[Boiling Pots]

McCain can be such an ass for the sake of bipartisanship. He helped sink his own campaign with his “You don’t have to be scared of Barack Obama” line.

[PBRSTREETGANG]

McCain is really such a...tool.

[unixfox]

He understands it, that's why he HATES it!

He's a socialist/marxist/communist, why would he like it?

[housedeep]

blah blah blah

this is why you lost McLoser.....

"fundamental differences in philosophy of government...blah blah blah"

[SiVisPacemParaBellum]

I ‘boo’ every time he says “my friends”.

[KeyLargo]

Let me be the first to recommend that McLame sign up for Obama's death care plan.

[Mr Ramsbotham]

As I was walking up the stair,
I met a man who wasn’t there,
He wasn’t there the other day,
I wish that he would go away.

Saying that Obama is sincere in his respect for the Constitution is saying that your spouse still respects his/her wedding vows after committing adultery.

[Cheetahcat]

McQueeg needs tried for treason!

[Warriormom]

I don’t recall him respecting the office of the president this way when Bush was president.

[RightWingConspirator]

and fellow Florida voters, send Charlie "Obama hugger" Crist to the trash can too. Someone needs to publish some signs with pictures of Crist hugging Zero at Zero's staged town hall in Fort Myers last February.

Vote for Marco Rubio.
