WASHINGTON -- Sen. John McCain said Sunday President Barack Obama has failed in his effort to be a bipartisan leader.

McCain, who lost the election to Obama last year, says the success of Obama's initiatives in Congress shouldn't be mistaken for bipartisanship.

As one example, McCain said the health care bill was written without Republican input.

McCain said that while Obama has managed to pick off a few Republican votes, the president has failed to change the partisan climate in Washington as he said he wanted.

McShame has learned nothing about the man currently occupying the WH now he's shocked that Zer0 isn't more bipartisan?.

While he shut down his campaign to vote on TARP, Barry went right on trashing him, while he REAMED conservatives out for calling Barry by his full name (The one that MIGHT even appear on his birth certificate if we ever saw it), 0bama never backed down or called off the attacks on Sarah Palin, and when 0bama flat out lied during the debates, there was McLame shuffling around the stage like an Alzheimer's patient instead of calling him on his “misstatements”. I swear if I heard one more “my friends” during that campaign I was going to apply for Canadian citizenship just so I wouldn't have to see anymore of that pathetic excuse for a campaign.

To seek compromise with these leftists is folly. The Congressional leadership is hell bent on enacting national health care and a few cosmetic “bipartisan” changes will not make this 1,000 monstrosity any more acceptable.

But..it will be bipartisan when John McCain supports Obama when it comes to comprehensive immigration reform (aka amnesty).
