McCain says American leadership was better under Obama: report

By Olivia Beavers - 06/11/17 04:02 PM EDT

Sen. John McCain

 (R-Ariz.) said American leadership was stronger under President Trump's predecessor, President Barack Obama, according to a Guardian report published Sunday.

Asked if the country stood on sturdier ground under Obama's leadership, McCain said "yes," according to the report.

“As far as American leadership is concerned, yes," said McCain, who also vocally criticized many of the Obama administration's foreign policy decisions.

McCain also lost to Obama when he ran as the GOP nominee in the 2008 presidential election.

The top Senate Republican was also asked what "message" the president delivered to the U.K. last week when he publicly criticized London's mayor, shortly after a terror-related attack that left eight people dead and many more wounded.
“What do you think the message is? The message is that America doesn’t want to lead,” said McCain, chairman on the Senate Armed Services Committee.

Well I don't agree with that but I question whether we have leadership at all?  He keeps firing and there is distrust and secrecy.  I feel like we have Trump empire leadership.  The only ones in the White House with any authority would be Trump, Kushner and Ivanka.  Oh and every once in awhile the Pence cheer leading.

Oh and Obama supporting terrorism.  Trump schmoosing Saudi Arabia and Islam....

Live in harmony with one another; do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly, do not claim to be wiser than you are.  Do not repay anyone evil for evil, but take thought for what is noble in the sight of all.  If it is possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all…do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

McCain & Pelosi are perfect examples of why we so desperately need term limits for members of Congress. When will McCain switch from being a Republican to showing his true colors? Honestly. Oh and take Lindsey Graham with you

   He never did full decks well, wasn't it him that accidentally released his missiles as a Lt in the Navy, resulting in Injury and Death?

NOT HIM

On July 29, 1967, McCain, by then a lieutenant commander, was near the epicenter of the USS Forrestal fire. He escaped from his burning jet and was trying to help another pilot escape when a bomb exploded;[28] McCain was struck in the legs and chest by fragments.[29] The ensuing fire killed 134 sailors and took 24 hours to control.[30][31] With the Forrestal out of commission, McCain volunteered for assignment with the USS Oriskany, another aircraft carrier employed in Operation Rolling Thunder

Yeah he was another looser that Republican party promoted for President.  Funny that Sarah Palin was his running mate.  Then she was Trumps cheer leader.

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
