John McCain Furious Obama Shot Up Orlando, Created ISIS, Bought Last Bag Of Werthers Originals
image:
GRRRR OBAMA GRRRRRR
John McCain must really be worried about his re-election race back home in Arizona, because hes saying stuff that sounds calculated to rile up The Base instead of making sense. Thursday, McCain said twice that President Barack Obama was directly responsible for last weeks massacre in Orlando, before later backing off and claiming hed misspoken. Were still waiting on McCain to issue a further clarification explaining he has no idea what misspoken actually means.
While the president was in Orlando meeting with survivors and family members of those killed in the worst mass shooting in American history, McCain told reporters in the Capitol that Obama had pretty much pulled the trigger himself:
Barack Obama is directly responsible for it, because when he pulled everybody out of Iraq, al-Qaida went to Syria, became ISIS, and ISIS is what it is today thanks to Barack Obamas failures, utter failures, by pulling everybody out of Iraq, a visibly angry McCain said as the Senate debated a spending bill. So the responsibility for it lies with President Barack Obama and his failed policies, McCain said.
Thats some pretty impressive logicking! So what McCain is really saying is that George W. Bush also shot 49 people, because without his war of choice in Iraq, which destabilized the entire Middle East, there never would have been an ISIS to replace al Qaeda, which didnt exist in Iraq at all until after the 2003 invasion. (Haha, we are kidding. Its all Ikes fault for sending the CIA to overthrow Mossadegh in Iran in 1953).
Ever the troublesome naysayers, the Associated Press points out that the shooter, Omar Mateen, did indeed claim to be working on behalf of ISIS. But he also claimed to be affiliated with al Qaeda and Hezbollah, which are both at war with ISIS in Syria. Its almost as if the guy just rattled off the names of any radical terrorist groups that came to mind regardless of ideological consistency. (We mean Mateen, but it works for McCain, too.)

Georgie the Brain-dead,raised some 50k yesterday in Arizona for McGrumpy. Remember,McGrumpy is early stage Dementia,which is very obvious to us who have and deal with family members who suffer.
McGrumpy has a history of making stupid statements about President Obama and these statements will never end until the Guy is locked away in a padded room.

You would think with a Billion dollar bank account and seven or eight homes,one would say,screw it and enjoy things a bit. Understand his Spouse is only a stag prop and spends her time with her BBF at one of their many Abodes.
After he lost to Obama, he has shown again and again that he is really a sore loser. He ended up grudgingly making peace with GW after 2000, but he'll never get over 2008. Yes, he definitely should have retired a long time ago while he still had a shred of dignity left. Now he is just a joke.

I think John is losing it with old age. Trump and Gormert never had anything upstairs to begin with.

(5,106 posts)I used to have a fair amount of admiration for him, even though I never voted for him. If he'd stopped back when he defended President Obama to that ignorant woman at his "Town Hall," he'd be remembered as a "statesman." Now he IS sounding like a cranky, bitter old man.
