John McCain is an American hero & one of the bravest fighters I've ever known. Cancer doesn't know what it's up against. Give it hell, John.

1. I thought the fake prez said he doesn't consider him a hero since

heroes don't get captured or heroes are only those who were killed in action.

[Mrs. Overall]

5. Yep, he did say that. Waiting to hear if he will now offer condolences.

Of course, those condolences might not be exactly sincere.

[dchill]

6. Condolences are for snowflakes.

[Mrs. Overall]

10. I just realized I said "condolences" rather than "sympathy" and "best wishes for recovery."

It doesn't sound hopeful, but maybe McCain can beat the odds and pull through.

[dchill]

43. I think the difference is minimal. I was being snarky...

at Trump's expense, since he's offered neither sympathy nor condolences.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

7. Upcoming: tRump will tweet "heroes don't get cancer". . . . nt

[PatSeg]

66. That's what I was thinking

"Well, I like heroes who don't get cancer."

[klook]

25. Yeah, President Manbaby will probably say,

"I like people that didn't get cancer, ok?"

[dchill]

44. "That I can tell you."

[cwydro]

61. Sadky, there is an OP on the front page saying the same.

A shame

[TomSlick]

2. A classy guy showing class

Remember when Presidents had class?

[BootinUp]

4. +1

[lunatica]

28. Yeah. Like it was just 6 months ago

It seems a lot longer though.

[bdamomma]

38. yea

what happened with that???? we now have a mafia king.

[lastlib]

46. Mafia Don.

RUSSIAN Mafia Don.

[BigmanPigman]

55. Are you saying his name should be "the Donsky"

because we already know he IS a donkey (AKA "ass&quot .

[bdamomma]

77. I like it

because it's true. This jerk has got to go!!!!! if he pulls something else his ass better be thrown out (like getting rid of Mueller).

[erronis]

72. Russian Mafia Tool

This is like those nesting eggs (Faberge?) or dolls. The inner one has the polonium that is set to destroy this country.

[apkhgp]

3. I really miss that fine upstanding guy

It has only been twenty five weeks. We need a leadership with a better vocabulary.

[TNNurse]

12. Do you think he is getting more redundant in his speech??

I notice it more. I realize a limited vocabulary combined with loving to hear your own voice gets repetitive, but it sounds worse to me.

[apkhgp]

20. Redundancy

45 loves everything about himself.
His appearance
His mannerisms (raising the hands up and down when he talks)
Plus his voice

[lunatica]

29. He likes playing the invisible accordion too

[apkhgp]

31. Accordion?!?

He needs to save that for polka time.

[erronis]

73. Please spare me of him masturbating while moving his tiny hands

down there - if he can find it.

[irisblue]

8. Class not crass

[apkhgp]

24. Ill mannered

Everyday I wonder how he won the election.

[bdamomma]

41. Ask Mr Putin

he's got the USA right where he wants us, in a very deep decline.

[Volaris]

47. McCain defended Barrack, ON A LIVE HOT MIC, IN PUBLIC,

against one of the proto-deplorables. I don't think Obama has forgotten that. I haven't.
I hope John makes a speedy recovery.

[eleny]

9. It's uplifting when someone expresses just the right thoughts

[lutherj]

11. Trump prefers senators that don't get brain cancer.

Especially when he's trying to screw 22 million Americans with by passing legislation he doesn't understand.

[nolabear]

13. What a good man. He gives me faith in us in spite of all.

[LittleGirl]

14. That man is the best - Obama. eom

[L. Coyote]

15. That's an excellent burn of trump too.

Trump has been baited now, and I'll have to get up at 3 AM since he won't be able to remain silent much longer than that.

[Mrs. Overall]

16. Exactly!

[Honeycombe8]

17. Seems odd to hear a compassionate, decent response from a politician. What a treat it was...

to have him in office for eight years. Half the country won't admit how good he was for the country and its place in the world.

[Stuart G]

18. Total Class in every way....

[mtngirl47]

19. Nice!

[Tommy_Carcetti]

21. We very well might not see a personal response from Trump.

He's petty and holds a grudge.

McCain waivered on his campaign, was highly critical of him at various times and ultimately was responsible for the Steele Dossier being turned over.

He might not go beyond the generic written statement his office put out.

[Sugar Smack]

63. Yeah- I remember "We Need That Vote" from the other day.

And I'm missing the hell out of Barack Obama right now.

[irisblue]

22. WH Press Office in that mans name issued a press release bout 9:30pm.

Boiler plate claptrap.

[Egnever]

23. Best president of my lifetime

Hands down

[C_U_L8R]

26. Now that's Presidential

Thank you President Obama for showing how it's done

[Zoonart]

27. Trump's house of cards...

Is collapsing. He has no time, or care, for anyone but himself.

[cilla4progress]

30. Was just thinking about this.

Well, more like the eulogy... I bet BO will be invited to speak; perhaps not tRump.

[malaise]

32. The Con is way too busy worrying about what's coming from

Deutsche Bank

[ladym55]

33. Oh, look! CLASS!

President Obama is always gracious and always a gentleman.

[NastyRiffraff]

34. Wonderful sentiment from a real president

Dump, though, cares only about himself.

[Salviati]

35. Don the con likes senators that don't get cancer.

[democratisphere]

36. Takes an American Hero to know one.

Wise encouraging words from a real true President.

[Gothmog]

37. From Hillary Clinton

Link to tweet

[Mrs. Overall]

45. Very thoughtful tweet from Hillary. Thanks for posting it.

[onecent]

39. What a wonderful tribute to John McCain. I always felt so sorry for him when

he came back from the war and I knew he was tortured for so long. I don't wish
anyone to die of cancer.

[smirkymonkey]

40. I so miss the days when politicians were decent. Obama and Hillary are good, kind people.

Trump is such a disgusting, hateful bastard. I can't believe how low we have sunk.

[bdamomma]

42. that "bar"

was set very low, a celebrity con artist as pResident, aren't we better than this???

[WinkyDink]

48. Both the sentiment and the memory of the man who wrote it is enough to bring tears.

[BlancheSplanchnik]

67. Yes...it is...

😪 miss my President so much.

[herding cats]

49. Sweet memories of when we had a sane and classy man in the WH.

As I said to him on Twitter, we're so much less as a nation now without him at the helm.

[BadgerMom]

50. First, what a tribute to one of our heroes.

Second, I spell "class" O-B-A-M-A.

[ProudMNDemocrat]

51. President Obama remains an honorable man......

In his message to Sen. McCain.

Regardless of what the turd in the White House says, John McCain is a winner and a war hero.

[calimary]

52. Nice!

You can always depend on Barack Obama to do something very classy.

[Aristus]

53. That's my President!

[SummerSnow]

54. Mr. President, when do you want me to send out a get well message

to Senator McCain?

Trump: Oh ok, um...send him a get well via my Twitter. ( goes back to checking image of his inauguration crowd against Obama's inauguration)

[Hieronymus]

56. The difference in class, Obama,

and a total lack of it, Trump.

[MontanaMama]

57. Oh how I miss you PBO.

[Paka]

58. I despise Trump as much as the rest of you,

but don't promote falsehoods. Obama was the first to make a statement, but Trump made a statement as well. I am in France reading it on French news, so I find it hard to believe you can't find it in the US.

"Donald Trump, avec qui les relations étaient tendues, a dans un communiqué déclaré que le sénateur avait "toujours été un combattant".

"Melania et moi envoyons nos pensées et prières au sénateur McCain, à Cindy et toute sa famille. Remettez-vous vite", a-t-il dit."

[qanda]

59. The point is that, at the time they wrote this, Trump hadn't made a statement

He's quick to tweet about any and everything. You hear that kind of news and you stop everything to be one of the first to say something. When I was on Twitter last night, I saw four statements in a row from Obama, Hillary, Bill and Ana Navarro. I went to see if Trump had said anything yet and he hadn't. So, we don't need to know that you oppose Trump, but we also don't need a lecture about something that hadn't happened yet. People aren't fortune tellers.

[NYC Liberal]

60. "Melania and I send our thoughts and prayers to Senator McCain, Cindy, and their entire family."

That's Trump's tweet.

And I don't believe for a second that he actually wrote it. Compare that to one of his other tweets:

So impt Rep Senators, under leadership of @SenateMajLdr McConnell get healthcare plan approved. After 7yrs of O'Care disaster, must happen!

[qanda]

62. Right! Where's the passion and heart like what Obama offered?

[Crunchy Frog]

69. Totally impersonal and generic.

[Mrs. Overall]

65. I wasn't promoting falsehoods. At the time of Obama's tweet, there were no statements from trump or

the Whitehouse.

I'll be sure to double-check everything I post about him from now on so as not to promote any lies about him.

[IronLionZion]

64. They don't make Presidents like they used to

Nobody deserves cancer. It would be great if all Americans could get the same medical care a US Senator is getting regardless of ability to pay.

[mdbl]

74. was my first thought too.

at least John McCain has excellent health insurance which gives him and his family the ability to deal with his condition and not the medical bills. Very few other Repugs deserve that kind of piece of mind since they are willing to rip it away from millions.

[Nitram]

68. Trolling Trump by calling McCain a "hero."

[lark]

70. Drumpf commented an hour after Obama by tweet.

Basically sent good wishes to John, Cindy and family.

[VOX]

71. President Obama, I'm so sorry that #45 is vandalizing your hard work...

Clean-up will be long and messy, but we won't let you down.

[whathehell]

75. Barack continues to inspire..

..The epitome of character, and class.

Has it really been only 6 months since he was President?....It feels like a century. :

[dubyadiprecession]

76. Wasn't McCain scheduled to vote to repeal Obamacare, before he suffered a blood clot ????

Then McCain was diagnosed with a brain tumor.

Maybe god is trying to tell him something.
