Shorter John McCain
By Greg Sargent

How dare Obama go out on the trail and tell Americans that Senate Republicans won’t allow a majority vote on jobs policies they strongly support, when he should be staying in Washington and giving us cover to obstruct his jobs agenda in order to fulfill our stated top priority of destroying his presidency?



Yep, that's today's gripe.

For his part, McCain presented a jobs blueprint last week that included tax cuts, a balanced budget amendment to the U.S. Constitution, the total elimination of the Affordable Care Act, the total elimination of Wall Street reform safeguards, the end of EPA enforcement of clean air measures, and a tax repatriation holiday for international corporations.

Does this sound like a policymaker interested in negotiation and areas of common ground?

In case you’re curious, in the CNN interview, Crowley offered no pushback against McCain’s argument.
