unfair to those waiting to completely, it won t bode well for reform. striking a much friendlier tone on sunday, this is what senator mccain said of the president s effort. believe it or not i see a glimmer of bipartisan out there. we have president obama out there pushing a plan. does it help? hurt? i think it helps. i think it s important we all work to the on this. this will be the first time mccain has signed on to any major obama initiative, though mccain supported fiscal legislation, he opposed don t ask/don t tell and the new start treaty. no one is sure how speaker boehner proceeds, does he violate the so-called hastert rule again?
