Well, the grades on Obama’s Presidency are coming out and the Grade of “F” is coming from the President’s Republican rival John McCain.

The Congressional Democrats and the President with their massive majorities have lost touch with the American people – as if the anti-Bush and anti-GOP sentiment was ever a mandate for left-wing “hope and change” anyway. Their legislative and political agenda is clear – more government.

Is MORE what the American people desire?

Uh – NO

But the “elites” of the Democrat Party know what is best for Americans. They tell you so.

I don’t think this is going to fly.

And, Obamacare?

Read what John McCain has to say about the lack of bipartisanship.

Sen. John McCain has some advice for Democrats: have a “true sit-down” with Republicans on health care reform legislation.

“Well, first of all, unfortunately, there was no input by Republicans in the writing of the bill,” McCain said of the version of the legislation that came out of the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee. “It was all a Democrat proposal. That’s not the way you want to begin if you’re really interested in a true bipartisan result.”

“It’s got to be a true sit-down,” McCain added. “OK, what are you going to concede … how we can come together? Not: here’s the plan, how can we fix it so it satisfies enough of you to call it ‘bipartisan?’

“That’s a huge difference.”

Saying President Obama needs to be more specific about the reform proposals he favors, McCain also faulted how his former rival is handling health care reform.

“The president has laid out some ideas,” McCain said in an interview that aired Sunday on CNN’s State of the Union. “But I think the president has got to be more specific when we come down to exactly what these proposals are.

“And I don’t think he’s done that.

“I think they may have over learned the lesson of the Clinton proposal in ’93, McCain added, “where they were totally specific proposals. Now there’s not enough.”

When Obama goes on a health care reform campaign this August, he will be forced to answer specific questions on specific issues.

Good luck with that.
