Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), always currying favor with the press, made sure when he criticized Barack Obama he also ladled praise on him, calling Obama the smartest man in the room when recalling the series of dinners last year between Obama and GOP senators. Speaking with Time magazine, McCain said:
I thought when he had a couple of dinners with Republican senators, we really had a good environment there. Because he is a very, very articulate and attractive guy in a setting with eight or nine senators and him. Because he was smarter than the rest of us. But I dont see that now. I dont see any of that.
McCain also said, There are some things that he could find that we could do on a bipartisan basis, and that may not be his top agenda items, but hes got to do more outreach.
Those dinners were termed a success at the time by press secretary Jay Carney, who said the White House was encouraged and what seemed to be sincere interest in avoiding constant crisis, sincere interest expressed by the participants in the dinner. He added that Obama said one of the meals was very constructive and very pleasant.
But after Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) met with Carney last week, and following Obamas recent pronouncements of his intention to use executive actions to bypass Congress, Carney said it was a press misconception that the success or failure of legislation in Congress depends on the relationship between a president and a Speaker or a president and a leader in Congress.

Wrong on both counts.
Nope. McCain's in it, too.
McCain equates outreach with intelligence.
McCain is senile.
BOOM!
good one!
Smart is as smart does. Stupid is as stupid does.
If there was any more doubt that the RINOS never want to be in power again, this is just one more thing to add to the list.
Did someone let McCain out of the activity room again?
It’s the last refuge for the obamalovers - when they start trotting out how allegedly smart he is - you know they got nuthin’.
If there was any more doubt that the RINOS never want to be in power again, this is just one more thing to add to the list.”
NO, there IS no doubt. This whole debacle screams of “I told you so” by Sarah and Romney. And what does the GOP do? NOTHING?????????????
I’m so disgusted with the GOP. How about all of you?
FREEPERS........ please pledge monthly to FREEPER. It’s sooo easy. Just do it.
Rush actually had it right: When Obama walks into a room, he is instantly the least knowledgeable person in the meeting.”
Rush is always right... don’t doubt ElRushbo!
Rush is right except Zip never goes to meetings, but even alone in a room he's the least qualified. Even a soda vender in the basement could run rings around him.
McCain can’t be that stupid. He learned to fly jet planes.......oh, never mind.
That’ll show ‘em, Kerry
It must have been just Obama and McCain.
His Daycare worker is still showing him flashcards on how to spell and pronounce "Syracuse" everyday.

Did he come directly from Vietnam? Goofus not Gallant
