WASHINGTON — Republican Sen. John McCain is a walking contradiction, antagonizing President Barack Obama over foreign policy one minute, cooperating with the Democrat the next on immigration and the budget.
So who is the real McCain?
There’s the national security expert pounding the Obama administration with words like “cover-up” and “incompetence” over the deadly assault in Libya last September, snarling about the administration’s lack of backbone on Syria and ripping into Defense Secretary nominee Chuck Hagel over the Iraq war.
But there’s also the Arizona lawmaker reviving his past bipartisan effort on immigration by reaching out to Obama, the man who beat him for the presidency in 2008, as well as several Senate Democrats. Frustrated with the endless cycle of fiscal crises, McCain recently was part of a small group of GOP senators to talk budget at a dinner with the president.
In the first months of the year, McCain as friend or foe has given Washington whiplash. The swings seem even more pronounced as the 76-year-old lawmaker, perhaps in his last term, relishes more independence while Obama, also unencumbered electorally, pursues an ambitious second-term agenda.

THIS PERSON NEEDS A NURSING HOME !!! ADMIT HIM VERY SOON !!!
Personally, I think he needs a mental hospital.
McCain is a whore, quisling, turncoat, traitor. He and many of his colleagues, along with the entire corrupt, marxistnObama administration need to be removed from office, tried for their corruption and treason, and punished accordingly.
There’s no fool like an old fool! McCain is out of his ever-lovin’ mind. I used to think of him as a hero, but that sure has changed. He is more like a turncoat who wants to tear up the Constitution and take away our rights. RINO!
He is a Progressive RINO.
He’s a progressive Azz. just looking for a place to happen.
Folks, Senator McCain has lost his marbles, he has no clue of what the heck he is talking about!
Screw McCain, all he’s good for now is kissing Obama’s BUTT! He’s become as useless as Obama needs to be retired to spend more time with his nut, Homo. loving wife and daughter!
