Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.

Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) — one of President Obama's most strident critics — praised the president's speech in Arizona at a memorial service for the victims of the Tucson shooting spree.
The Arizona senator and Obama's 2008 opponent penned an op-ed in the Washington Post, saying Obama "comforted and inspired the country" by calling for greater civility in the nation's political discourse.
"I disagree with many of the president's policies, but I believe he is a patriot sincerely intent on using his time in office to advance our country's cause," McCain wrote. "I reject accusations that his policies and beliefs make him unworthy to lead America or opposed to its founding ideals. And I reject accusations that Americans who vigorously oppose his policies are less intelligent, compassionate or just than those who support them."

I just can’t see that, it is a real stretch for me
did you mean that sarcastically
McCain was reprogrammed at the Hanoi Hilton. Why else would he be such a big defender of a commie trying to single-handedly destroy this nation?
FUJM
Such statements are exactly why Obama is president and not McCain.You are absolutely right.
I don't think he wanted to win. He was doing the work of the left, helping ensure an "historic" new president... while at the same time collecting a bunch of campaign cash for the only thing he really cared about, his 2010 Senate reelection campaign.
And he had a lot of fun at the same time.
The happy nimrod leftist useful idiot, busy bilking Americans of their hard-won freedoms, while keeping a mental-retardation smile on his face all the while.
Can anyone explain what Obama meant when he urged the nation that we must “sharpen the instinct for empathy”
This is the kind of unadulterated sophomoric rhetoric that wins thunderous applause and plaudits from some who claim to be members of the conservative commentariat.
We are in serious trouble when this campaign-style speech is now hailed as a national landmark by the left as well as the McCain-types.
Echo’s of Neville Chamberlin
His cause?
His cause is the destruction of the Republic, the rendering of the Constitution as so much hot air from the Founding Fathers, his cause?
Good God, Man. Are you insane?
The people of AZ were fools to vote for McSlime over JD. I refuse to go to Scottsdale even when people offer free trips and free golf. Let em eat cake.
Really, that’s where I stopped reading.
That’s as far as I got.
When they lie right from the start there’s no need to go any further.
Great Caesar’s Ghost! These people are good at patting each other on the back. Unfortunately, that’s all they’re good at.
It is quite obvious lord McCain has not a clue what the word 'patriot' literally means. I just hope (little obamaism there) and pray Sarah is NOT politically obligated to keep giving this user of women her covering.
FYI, off topic:
BP CEO Dudley is about to let Russia buy huge stake in the company.
Bush’s fault.
Oh, and Steele dropped out of RNC race.
Jeez Johnny, why don’t you just switch to the Democratic party and be done with it?
Just like he "suspended" his campaign in 2008 to go wander around the senate cloakroom like a lost idiot--until Harry Reid told him to just get lost for real--and to just about as much purpose.
