How obnoxious can Republicans get?
“Our leaders have to get a lot tougher, and be quiet. Just please be quiet.  Don’t talk. Please, be quiet. Just be quiet, to the leaders, because they have to get tougher, they have to get sharper, they have to get smarter, and we have to have our Republicans either stick together or let me just do it by myself.”
These are the words of the Republican Presidential nominee Donald Trump who evidently does not recall how much of a stink his Republican leaders made about Obama’s “imperial presidency” and how they screamed and moaned every time he issued an executive order to get something done because they refused to do anything about addressing the nation’s problems.
Now just when you think Republicans cannot stoop any lower in their behavior one comes along to drop the decency bar even more.  Here are comments made by John McCain (remember the guy Trump called a “loser.”)
"Barack Obama is directly responsible for it (the Orlando massacre), 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 Obama's failures, utter failures, by pulling everybody out of Iraq. So the responsibility for it lies with President Barack Obama and his failed policies," McCain said.
He made the comment Thursday while Obama was in Orlando consoling the families of those killed in Sunday's attack and some of the survivors.
I sent this to McCain on his official site:
“I am not one of your constituents so I doubt this will be read, but I cannot help wanting to comment on your disgusting and disparaging remarks about President Obama being directly responsible for the tragedy in Orlando.  It seems you Republicans will do anything to denigrate the President.  You obviously have no respect for the office you once aspired to. Shameful.”
