McCain sees many problems facing next president

JACKSONVILLE, Fla., April 3 (Reuters) - Republican candidate John McCain on Thursday outlined a litany of problems the next U.S. president will inherit from George W. Bush and said Washington needed a new approach to solving them.

McCain made no mention of Bush in a speech as part of a weeklong "Service to America" tour, and aides said he was not trying to distance himself from the president, who remains popular with the Republican base in his final year in office.

But McCain, who has clinched the Republican presidential nomination, did appear to raise some questions about how policy has been handled by both Bush and the U.S. Congress in recent years.

"To keep our nation prosperous, strong and growing we have to rethink, reform and reinvent," the Arizona senator said.

1. McCain will do a great job cleaning up Bush's mess

He voted with Bush 89% of the time.

I am all for rethinking, reforming and reinventing. But McCain will leave the sick, weak, poor and middle class behind in his reforms. And again, a guy who parrots George W 89% of the time really has no capability to reverse the damage the guy he agreed with 89% of the time did.

2. Yes, there will be a lot of chimp droppings to shovel out of the WH.
