U.S. Sen. John McCain said Friday that Americans are in the toughest times he can remember and that President Barack Obama hasn't brought the change in Washington that he promised.
The Arizona Republican spoke at a town hall Friday to a couple hundred people at Mesa's Central Christian Church, reiterating many of the same arguments he's made in recent similar events.
McCain took to the stage with standing ovations and an aim to address key issues affecting Arizonans, such as the economy, health care reform, the war in Afghanistan, among other things.

Great cartoon. Kick him off the stoop!!
Senator McCain, you said during your campaign that “Obama would make a good President”.....now you’re complaing?
"Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find only things evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached." - Manuel II Palelogus
McCain is dumber than a box of rocks if he can’t see
the “changes” Obama is making to our nation and whole
political ideals.
Hey McCain...He brought the exact change he promised Joe The Plumber.
The only ‘’blast’’ this guy could muster now would be inside the commode
Please shut the **** up and go away...
Is he facing re-election in 2010?
Yes.
The dog house is that way and your divorce papers are in the mailbox. Good day!
Guess that explains it.
Righto, McLame is just trying to save his seat (or ass, if you prefer).
He thinks that if he pulls the knife out now, that he stuck in conservatives' backs for years, the wound won't bleed.
He's wrong again, it'll bleed, it just won't bleed for him.
I guess McCain’s upset because everything Obama’s doing he could have easily done. This is like a McCain administration without McCain.
But, we're gonna have socialized Obamacare rammed down our throats thanks, in part, to you and your despicable band of nearsighted nitwits.
McCain is disappointed in Obama on his communist "Change" agenda? Did he expect (or want) him to do even more damage to our country? Obama promised to "fundamentally transform the United States of America".
From the website of the Communist Party, USA...
(prior to the election)
"The Communist Party USA views the 2008 elections as a tremendous opportunity to defeat the policies of the right-wing Republicans and to move our country in a new progressive direction.
The record turnout in the Democratic Presidential primary races shows that millions of voters, including millions of new voters, are using this election to bring about real change. We wholeheartedly agree with them."

After the election....
A Landslide Mandate For Change
Congratulations on an extraordinary history making election!
We can think back with pride to decades of hard work toward our strategic goal of a big enough, broad enough and united enough labor and all-people’s movement that could overcome the ultra-right blockage to all progress. That all people’s movement has come to life, it is dynamic and it has the potential to keep growing.
The election of Barack Obama and a strengthened Congress creates new conditions in our country. There is now the possibility to shift gears and move forward. This new day requires us to further develop our tactics in order to continue to deepen and broaden labor and people’s unity.
There are thousands of experiences that we all have had in these momentous days, some large, some small, all of which express the enormity of change in thinking and readiness for involvement that is underway and that steels us for the battles ahead.
The tears of joy we all shared as crowds gathered to watch the election results here and throughout the world dramatize the new moment we are in.

Change is Here, Change is Coming
Sam Webb, National Chair, Communist Party, USA:
Let me begin with a simple observation: If the last 30 years were an era of reaction, then the coming decade could turn into an era of reform, even radical reform. Six months into the Obama presidency, I would say without hesitation that the landscape, atmosphere, conversation, and agenda have strikingly changed compared to the previous eight years.
In this legislative session, we can envision winning a Medicare-like public option and then going further in the years ahead.
We can visualize passing tough regulatory reforms on the financial industry, which brought the economy to ruin.
We can imagine the troops coming home from Iraq and Afghanistan while U.S. representatives participate in a regional process that brings peace and stability to the entire region.
In the current political climate, the expansion of union rights becomes a real possibility.
Much the same can be said about winning a second stimulus bill, and we sure need one, given the still-rising rate, and likely long term persistence, of unemployment.
Isn’t it possible in the Obama era to create millions of green jobs in manufacturing and other sectors of the economy in tandem with an attack on global warming?
Can’t we envision taking new strides in the long journey for racial and gender equality in this new era, marked at its beginning by the election of the first African American to the presidency?
And isn’t the overhaul of the criminal justice and prison system – a system steeped in racism – no longer pie-in-the sky, but something that can be done in the foreseeable future?
All these things are within reach now!
"Hey Mac! Get stuffed!"
Where do people find these pictures LOL!
And, had I cooperated with you and backed a RINO, we would have amnesty and carbon taxes rammed down our throats.
The only difference would be that there would be no Republican opposition to a Republican president doing the ramming!
I think the RINO POS is terrified of what is happening in NY23. He sees that he may have screwed up by kissing a** with the liberals and wants to be re-elected. I say dump the POS.
He owes us $$$ (spousal) support $$$.....FIRST.....then, we’ll kick him off the porch!
Is McCain crazy!!!! Is he suggesting that O is no different than President Bush?
I still hate McCain but owe him one for choosing Sarah Sarah.
Looks more like an elephant on that dog’s *ss, which would also be appropriate as a depiction of a phony GOPer.
I am so PO’ed and tired of McCain, I can hardly function. Obama IS bringing CHANGE - the kind of change which Palin, Plumber Joe, and conservative kooks warned.
I don’t see any change.My wife’s still a millionaire!
Go away John. Please, just go away.
Oh, you're gonna get that anyway.
Plus, Obamacare.
The blood is on your hands, not mine.
If granny brought this POS home for dinner I would ground her to the basement for a month and kick his unfed RINO ass to the curb.
He was a disgrace thirty years ago and has only gone downhill and soured with time.
All the mccainiacs that supported him only gave Odinga another spokesmouth on the campaign trail and he never stood a doughnut’s chance in a police station of winning.
Conservatives need to ‘Scozzafava’ McCain.
BOOT MCCAIN 2010
Fine, beat him in the primary.
If Odinga advocating stomping puppies McCain would go shopping for puppy stomping boots.
He was, is and will stay in the tank for Odinga.
For what?
For taking a stand against "Democrat Lite" and "bipartisan with liberal Democrats" RINOism!?!
For being so damn stupid that you ended up with the worst possible president. Duh.
McCain, thank you for your service — now GO AWAY!
I don’t think the people of Arizona will elect him again; I really don’t.
He was until he was reminded that if he didn’t tell some new lies he was going to lose his job.
This old crone is an Odinga boy from the gitgo.
But, at some point disaffected conservative have got to stop whining and moaning about RINOs and actually defeat some in the primaries.
You're right. I was stupid...stupid enough to vote for a RINO--George W. Bush--thinking that my vote would forestall the advance of Big Government.
NEVER AGAIN.
NO MORE RINOS!
DON'T TREAD ON ME!
Of course I am.
I'm always right.
