Obama Called McCain to Thank Him for Vote against Obamacare Repeal

2018-05-06

[National Review] President Barack Obama called Senator John McCain (R., Ariz.) last year to thank him for casting the decisive vote against legislation that would have effectively repealed Obamacare, according to an excerpt of McCain’s forthcoming memoir obtained by NBC.

In McCain’s memoir, The Restless Wave: Good Times, Just Causes, Great Fights, and Other Appreciations, which he coauthored with longtime aide Mark Salter, he describes receiving a call from Obama in July after crushing Republican hopes of dismantling the former president’s signature domestic achievement.

Obama called to say thank you and added that he was "counting on me to be an outspoken and independent voice for the causes I believed in as I had been during his presidency," McCain wrote of the call.

#3 And keep in mind that by picking her, he destroyed one of the most promising conservative political careers in a generation.

Perhaps that was the primary goal, not the presidency.

#2 McCain played no small role in getting Barry elected in the first place.

In other news, he's also going around bad mouthing Palin. Classy. And keep in mind that by picking her, he destroyed one of the most promising conservative political careers in a generation.
