McCain: Obama Has 'Done Well' as President So Far

Since a year ago McCain characterized Barack Obama's views reflected "the depth of Senator Obama's inexperience and reckless judgment," it is ironic that he would now, 12 months later completely reverse his judgement.

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Sen. John McCain says his opponent in last year's presidential campaign, Barack Obama, has ''done well'' in his first five months in the White House.

The Arizona Republican says that using a legislative scorecard to judge the presidency so far, Obama has achieved all his legislative goals.

On the down side, McCain says that Obama's successes in Congress have come with little or no Republican support.

McCain also is critical of Obama for setting a date for closing the detainee facility at Guantanamo Bay without first developing a comprehensive plan for what to do with its prisoners.

3. Where the hell did THIS come from?

He's been a big jerk since President Obama won (beat him) in November. He's barely had ANYTHING nice to say about him and he's now complimenting him?
:wtf:

7. It's at least nice to hear postives from the other side for a change, but they know totally that..

it isn't lack of Republican support but obstruction. Part of why Arlen jumped ship he went off strategy.
