Washington (CNN)-GOP Sen. John McCain is in need of a tech lesson. In an appearance on ABC's "This Week," the senator from Arizona said that iPads and iPhones are "built in the United States of America." But every techie knows that they are, in fact, built in China.
McCain touted free trade agreements during the interview and voiced his agreement with President Obma that "innovation is the key to us being able to restore our economy." And though the designs for the iPad and iPhone are home grown in California, the actual manufacturing takes place overseas, in China.
"I think it's obviously a recognition of the reality and the trends, that cheaper, lower-cost labor products will usually prevail over products made in higher wage and income countries," he said, while commenting the abundance of foreign-made products in the American marketplace.

Yikes, CNN. All your editor had to do to find the proper spelling was look at the enshrined photo on the wall in his office, his screensaver, his heart-shaped tattoo, the doodles on his notebook...the Won will be displeased, very displeased.

( Does the GOP have to be a nursing home for senile hacks? ) Yes they do. It's called the U.S. Senate. Every morning for roll call mirrors are held in front of their faces to make sure they are still breathing. Same thing with Dem Senators. John McCain is one of the greatest reasons for establishing Term Limits!!

This is the sort of thing that makes me question the integrity of anyone who has supported McCain since he shamed himself (and the GOP) in 2008.
To: cva66snipe
Maybe for Arizona Sun City residents he’s seen as a young whipper snapper.

The only question I have left about McCain and his 2008 campaign is if he actually got anything for taking a dive or he just volunteered to do it in the spirit of bipartisanship.

Isn’t there a pasture he’s supposed to be in?
Or, is it a jail cell?
He is complicit in the “sissy-boy of soros” being in the position to ruin this country.
Sorry....he’s no war hero, anymore. That’s been rescinded. The country he fought for, he’s delivered to the commies on a silver platter.
