McCain's certainly been a "Profile in Courage"

[IndianaJoe]

"U.S. Sen. John McCain on Monday called the Arizona bill a "tool that I think needs to be used." His office later said that wasn't an endorsement.

Mr. Maverick speaks his mind, I guess. What's great here is that he's the guy that was supposedly for comprehensive immigration reform.

I hope Obama says something about what's happening in Arizona, but I doubt it.

Funny, the local Latino station this morning was asking listeners to call a number for the Arizona governor's office and politely request her not sign the bill.

This embarasses me as an American.

1. So he says it is a good bill

but he doesn't endorse it??

[Stargazer09]

2. Didn't he use almost the same line

Someone asked him if he would support Sarah Palin if she ran for President, and he said something along the lines that he thought she'd do well.

BUT, it wasn't an actual endorsement.

8. Afterall, he IS facing an electon this fall. He can't beat JD

without the latino vote.

4. You hope Obama says something about what's happening in Arizona?

But you doubt it?

Obama Slams Arizona’s Immigration Bill
President Obama on Friday strongly criticized restrictive immigration legislation pending in Arizona, calling for a federal overhaul of the nation’s laws instead.

Speaking at a naturalization ceremony for 24 active duty service members in the Rose Garden, Mr. Obama said that failure to enact immigration reforms would open the door to “irresponsibility by others.”

The “others” he cited in this case apparently referred to state lawmakers in Arizona, who have approved an immigration bill, which, if enacted, would require the police to ask people about their immigration status if officers have any reason to suspect that they’re in the country illegally. The state Legislature sent the bill to Gov. Jan Brewer, who hasn’t indicated publicly whether she will sign it.

Mr. Obama said the Arizona bill threatens “to undermine basic notions of fairness that we cherish as Americans, as well as the trust between police and our communities that is so crucial to keeping us safe.”

He also said that he is monitoring the Arizona bill for civil rights and other implications.

5. McCain has never been a maverick.

He's nothing more than a run-of-the-mill politician. I respect his military service, but he left behind any real courage when he got into politics. Unfortunately, there are too many politicians of his sort in both parties.

9. The guy dumps his loyal wife because she is no longer pretty for a blonde beer heiress!

He is a profile in superficiality and selfishness.
