John McCain says that the real problem with Barack Obama is that he snubbed him after the election:
Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) said this week that President Obama never made a sincere effort to reach out to him after the 2008 election.
McCain was once seen as a potential ally of Obama. But far from becoming a partner — as the left hoped for and the right feared — McCain has turned into one of Obama’s thorniest adversaries.
“Let’s get real here,” McCain told The Hill. “There was never any outreach from President Obama or anyone in his administration to me.”
McCain disputes the notion that he has rejected entreaties to cooperate with the White House because he is bitter from his defeat four years ago.
Of course he does, but he did exactly the same thing when George W. bush kicked his ass in the 2000 Republican primaries.
This is a guy whose parents had to put him in a tub of ice cold water when he was a kid to stop his tantrums.
Juvenile tantrums and petulance are an integral part of who he is.
