McCain calls Obama an ‘Etch A Sketch leader’ for 'flexible' comment
The Hill ^ | March 26, 2012 | Alicia M. Cohn

Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) ripped President Obama as "a real 'Etch a Sketch' leader" for suggesting he could switch his policy on missile defense after the election.

In the midst of an often tense discussion between the United States and Russia over plans for a U.S.-led NATO European missile defense system, Obama was heard asking Russian President Dmitry Medvedev for more time on the subject and promising he will have “more flexibility” following the election in November. The comments came across a live mic the two leaders did not appear to realize was on.

"Pres Obama tells Medvedev he'll be more "flexible" on missile defense - that's a real "Etch A Sketch" leader!" McCain tweeted on Monday. McCain, who is backing Mitt Romney for president in the GOP primary, was referring to comments a Romney adviser made that the GOP presidential candidate could shift his messaging from the GOP primary to the general election like an Etch a Sketch.

I’m sure McCain wishes we “hobbits” would forget about that.

McCain is such an idiot. How could he introduce “Etch a Sketch” into a very serious matter of national security. It just trivializes it and makes it into a joke.

Can he retire, please.

Served his country...

Last week, John was saying Mitt was too damaged.

They have to get it in their heads-we are not buying liberal fraud Romney who IMO is worse than McCain.
