Today in a town hall forum in Arizona, an elderly woman asked Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) whether President Obama knows “that we still live under a Constitution.” To his credit, McCain distanced himself from the questioner’s claim, saying “I’m sure that he does.” He then added that Obama “respects the Constitution of the United States,” at which point the crowd broke out in loud boos. But McCain stood firm, explaining that there’s just a “fundamental difference in philosophy and about the role of government.” “I am convinced the president is absolutely sincere in his beliefs,” he said, again eliciting boos and jeers from the crowd. Watch it:
“He is the president of the United States and let’s be respectful,” McCain said in closing. That statement was met with light applause from the crowd.
M.C.L comment:
This what ticks me off about the right wing they spent eight years supporting and defending a president that said the constitution was just a piece of goddamn paper while at the same time that president and his puppet master Dick Cheney were taking white out to the same document they all of the sudden found support for.
