How does Sen. McCain plan on repealing the health care reform bill? Pres. Obama is a Democrat with a veto pen. McCain would need 270 votes on the House and 66 in the Senate to override a veto of a repeal bill. They didn't have 215 last night.

whatever. McCain is going to die soon. He's like 200 years old.
ReplyDeleteObama is going on a lying tour. Who is dumb enough to believe anything that he says anyway?
ReplyDeleteMcCain's mother is still alive and doing just fine. McCain has another 20 years in the senate if he starts voting like a conservative. Obama only has three years left. Go figure about how McCain plans to repeal the stupid bill that nobody wants except the freeloaders.
ReplyDelete2 years & 9 months left for bo in office, unless, of course his smoking takes care of him first.
