WASHINGTON, March 28 (UPI) -- U.S. Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., in an interview published Saturday, said President Barack Obama needs to learn how to be effectively bipartisan.
In a session with editors and reporters at The Washington Times, McCain said the Obama administration has reached out to him only once since the inauguration. On that occasion, a lawyer discussed the possible closing of the Guantanamo Bay detention center.
Obama defeated McCain 53 percent to 46 percent in the November presidential election, with most swing states going into the Democratic column.
"There are things that, statements that then-candidate Obama made during the campaign over and over and over again that obviously he's not staying with," McCain said during the hourlong interview.
McCain said he believes Obama is sincere about wanting to work with Republicans but does not realize that simply talking to them is not enough.

I knew it. They didn’t get that face cancer, it went subdural, and it’s been eating away his brain cells all this time.
There’s no other explanation.

The problem is that Obama is sincere about bipartisanship. He wants all the cover for his boondoggles he can get. And the GOP is giving it to him in spades. GIVE was passed, the bailout was passed. Wait until Amnesty and Global Warming comes up. The idiots in the Senate will be tripping over themselves to help.

why should republicans work with obama? The gop is in the minority and needs to come up with a compelling alternative so that conservatives will vote for them next time.

Obama only reached out to McCain once? And McCain is miffed? Or is he surprised? What an idiot.
I guess he thinks Obama isn’t being fair. My, my. Isn’t that terrible? And after he threw to race too.
