What a stinkfest that picture represents. All you morons that say you'll vote for McCain if Clinton doesn't get the nomination need to take a good hard look at this picture. I mean REALLY LOOK!. This is what you're in for. After you throw up, maybe you'll come to your senses. If not, then you should be made to wear this photograph on your forehead till the day you die. Because you deserve it!

This Mcsame fellow just needs to retire to an old age home ,drink beer and watch old John Wayne war movies. Leave the running of the country to some other dynamic young Americans

ellie   May 28th, 2008 12:17 pm ET

What is wrong with us? We have the power.Why do we let this happen, a meeting with no media,so covert.As and american i fell no since of peace with McCain, he is bush.Hillary's people said they wouldn't vote for Obama, they would vote for McCain, what is wrong with you people do you really hate Blacks that much,that you would put McCain in the white House, that is really sad!

David, Paducah, Kentucky   May 28th, 2008 12:17 pm ET

Its amazing how McCain is sneaking around so that Bush can make money for him. Thats a good clue as to what will be happening in a McCain White House. There will be no transparency in government under McCain. It will be more of the same.

Kathryn Irby - Metairie, LA   May 28th, 2008 12:16 pm ET

It's pretty bad when John McCain, Bush's fellow Republican, doesn't even want to be caught seen with Bush!!! ha! I love it!

Michael   May 28th, 2008 12:16 pm ET

Is it me or does John Mcain look like a Mr. Potato head?

is it necessary   May 28th, 2008 12:15 pm ET

why wouldnt they be together> they are both the same

Ellisa   May 28th, 2008 12:14 pm ET

Clintonites who plan to vote for McCain in the fall, look at this picture and be honest with the yourselves. Do you really want this for another 4-8 years?

John   May 28th, 2008 12:14 pm ET

Thanks Johnny McSame that pict is worth a whole election, heck I could run and beat you this year.

J   May 28th, 2008 12:13 pm ET

Nice, McCain stands up to all the bashing and hate speech from the left. He's got my vote.

For all you people disappointed that the Clintons have lost their bid to the White House and are threatening to vote for McCain instead of Obama, you'll have blood on your hands just like Scott McClellan does for not doing the right thing for our country.

Philip   May 28th, 2008 12:12 pm ET

Now that's a scary picture! The stuff nightmares are made of.

All you fools who voted for Bush, both times, look where that got us. Seems like McSame is your kind of guy! God help us all!

These two old fools are going to DESTROY the America they say they love. What a big joke.

Linda31   May 28th, 2008 12:04 pm ET

Just enough. By obviously trying to avoid being seen with Bush, McCain actually made us more keenly aware of the fact that they were together and realized that it would be a problem.

Why are you ashamed of a Pres whose policies you support???

John   May 28th, 2008 12:03 pm ET

As goofy as these two look, they still don't look as clueless as Obama does in the pic below it.

Bob   May 28th, 2008 12:01 pm ET

Desperation creates haste; haste makes waste. Candidates should refrain from soothsayer predictions about whose going win or lose the the race for President.

The three candidates should display their "LEADERSHIP" potential, no more-no less, and let the voters decide the "WINNER".

What do they have to hide, American people are not that stupid they can see what is going on behind close doors. Mccain want to continue what bush started, but he does not want to be seen with bush america wake up.

Sure McCain, keep sending guys to war and then not give them a GI Bill to get a full education with.

Veterans have been betrayed by McCain!!!!

Bitter - New Orleans, LA   May 28th, 2008 11:43 am ET

My gods...the Obamatards that these threads spawn are amazing. Stop drinking the coolaid.

McCain has apposed a majority of Bush's policies the last seven years, but as a fellow republican, why would he not accept help in fundraising?

McCain is no bush, not even close...examine his record. I'd say the same for Obama, but he doesn't have a record to examine. (just a bunch of 'present' votes)

Will in Richmond, VA   May 28th, 2008 11:43 am ET

Jan, Knoxville, TN   May 28th, 2008 11:42 am ET

Sickening team – Bush and McCain. I hope they will soon be out of the national picture. All they stand for is WAR, WAR, WAR. Had enough America? McCain is no maverick; he is joined at the hip to Bush.

Army Veteran   May 28th, 2008 11:41 am ET

Dave   May 28th, 2008 11:39 am ET

Get real Kim. if you saw that bill and that a person who enlists just once gets the same benefits that a carreer military person gets then I would hope more senators would have voted against it, too. There should be some kind of tiered structure to give more to those who enlist more than once.

Capt. Smash, Salt Lake City, Utah   May 28th, 2008 11:39 am ET

attention; CNN PLEASE POST

The media the real story. . They let us down with Bush and Iraq! They really let THE AMERICAN PEOPLE down.

Over 4000 dead, what do you say to those families. BUSH, MCCAIN and CLINTON, need to apologize to all AMERICANS for sending them to there death's! Bush should be removed from office ASAP.!. Congress should start the Iraqi WAR hearings immediately find the truth please behind this WAR! Remove Bush from office, this will show all of America, the government still works for the good of the people. George Bush has destroyed the creditability of the presidency; even 4000 times worse then Bill Clinton and Monica scandal. If we ever need to go to war again how can we trust congress and the White House to do the right thing.

The only way congress can restore there creditability; as a functioning body of this government, is to hold formal investigations in this horrible American tragedy the Iraq War. I feel so bad for those families that give there loved ones to this American tragedy, THE IRAQ WAR!

Wendy, SC   May 28th, 2008 11:38 am ET

really don't think Barack's meeting with fundraisers could be considered a fundraiser. McCain on the other hand is hosting George Bush, which is a different kind of affair. Any time the president can't be photographed, there's something wrong.

Obama 08

Gary Chandler in Canada   May 28th, 2008 11:37 am ET

Oh, McCain won';t win for many reasons, however, for the sake of honesty, one Poster said that GI Bill was full of 'pork' for the bureaucrats. It may need simplification so that the Veterans get the monies?
The Huckabee tax proposal, (it's not in reality 'HIS', it's been studied for decades) would be a huge aid in helping the American economy. It avoids tax loopholes, and adds more revenue by taxing the underground economy and purchases of criminals. By getting rid of the IRS, there is huge saving, as well. They could be trained as Medicare agents!

LT for Obama   May 28th, 2008 11:36 am ET

It seems to me that McCain has defended Bush when he made is remarks from Israel, he has said that he is in keeping with many of Bush's current policies, so how is it that BO got so much flack yesterday because he called them out on the sameness?

Talk about hypocrisy. McCain has proven to be no match for Obama in recent weeks. The RNC and McCain have attempted to go after Obama several times just to be pushed back and shown up on the issues so far.

When I look at this picture I imagine the two of them standing in front of a hearse. The worst president in modern history needs to hang his head in shame and get out of the limelight. Our job to change what his administration did will be enormous and I admire Barack for wanting to do it.

This man should go down in history as public enemy #!, and McSame will be public enemy #2 if he promotes what Bush has done.

DNC; use this picture on every ad every thing you do. this is the old joke about a prostitute. ask a lady if she would for $100 and she says i am not that kind of girl. how about 10 million. to which she says ok. mccain just sold out totally as if he had not already. the clinton/bush royalty has to be stopped to get some kind of respect in the white house.

note: i am that white, small town, older, vet, and ex republican who wants bush and all involved in the war in Iraq to be put up on charges-what is one life worth of our young people???? thousands on a lie????

No MORE Years   May 28th, 2008 11:34 am ET

I HOPE all the Hillary Clinton supporters are looking at this picture.

JT Johnson   May 28th, 2008 11:32 am ET

One-third of this country loves George Bush, as would the rest of the country if they would open their brains. We will see in times ahead that President Bush was strong and brave in the face of some bad times abroad and from really uncivil citizens at home.

Manny, WS   May 28th, 2008 11:32 am ET

The team of more lies and deception and death. Wake up America, our soldiers are depending on you.

Nixon wanted to end the Vietnam war and it took him four years to do it, and in four year 20 thousand soliders died. Do we want this–my answer is no.

McCain talks of no surrender, we already won–they said the soldiers are doing fine, so bring them home, stop the doublespeak.

Bush is a coward and a liar and we're no better than he is if we allow him to continue his deathwalk. Four thousand men and women on his hands, that's why he cried at Arlington Cemetery. He knows he is responsible.

Bush is the worst president in modern history for a reason. And McSame wants to finish his dastardly job.

Gary Chandler in Canada   May 28th, 2008 11:28 am ET

Obama challenged these two to a public debate on foreign policies.
All he got back was 'let's go to Iraq together!?"
What's up with that big strong military man?
McCain, and Bush, stop sniping in the press and get on stage in front of cameras with Obama.
(If you say former presidents don't debate, do they campaign? We hope so! lol)

Bill NY   May 28th, 2008 11:28 am ET

After what this great nation has suffered(and is still suffering) under the Bush administration, I cannot begin to understand how the electorate could seriously consider voting for another four to eight years of the same. In my personal view Mr. Bush has to be the number one worst citizen in the history of the United States with the rest of his administration taking up the subsequent numbers. This country my be in a recession. Be warned that by going in the same direction we will be in a depression.

Damion K. Miles   May 28th, 2008 11:20 am ET

I think it's amazing the way John McCain has flip flopped on so many issues. Even so far back as being one of the last people in the entire country to agree to celebrate the life of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. with a nationally recognized holiday. Why didn't he think this man's life deserved to be recognized with a holiday? Why doesn't he want to be seen with his Commander In Chief? Why doesn't he want the entire country to know that they, he and George Bush, have many of the same ideas, ideals and policies? I would like for him to answer these questions.

kim portland, oregon – McCain voted against Webb's bill because it wasn't good enough. You need to start listening to some other media sources than just the liberal ones. McCain is the only candidate that has a clue about what is at stake during this unprecedented time of our nation. The liberals will destroy this country if they get their way. They don't even realize appeasement is bad policy.

Who was at this house event that McCain netted $3million in one night? What will he owe them in return, if he gets elected?

Marilyn   May 28th, 2008 11:13 am ET

George, GO AWAY!!!! You are not helping!

Farrell, Houston, Tx   May 28th, 2008 11:13 am ET

MCCAIN VOTED AGAINST WEBB'S GI BILL, OBAMA VOTED FOR THE VETERANS GI BILL. MCCAIN DIDN'T SHOW UP TO VOTE FOR VETERANS TO RECEIVE A STIMULOUS CHECK, OBAMA VOTED FOR VETERANS TO RECEIVE A STIMULOUS CHECK. MCCAIN HAS NEVER SUPPORTED VETERANS. DISGUSTING.

Richard PA   May 28th, 2008 11:13 am ET

McSame didnt vote against Webb's GI Bill ....he just didnt show up!

He has missed 60% of all senate votes higher than any other senator...(except those who missed votes due to illness)

This picture is priceless... he looks akward...like Bush has some rare desease and he doesnt want to catch it...

Now if only we can unify the democratic party and focus on defeating this Bush Mini-Me...

Voice of Reason   May 28th, 2008 11:12 am ET

Looks like Bush showing Johnny how to do the Presidential Wave... Somebody has GOT to be holding a GREAT CAPTION for this photo! Come on, give it up!!!

Rob R   May 28th, 2008 11:11 am ET

I hope Obama uses that picture in all of his ads for the general election.

I can only imagine what McCain is thinking while taking that picture.

MM   May 28th, 2008 11:11 am ET

Is McCain the guy on the right or left in this picture? I can't tell a difference.

Blanca DeBree   May 28th, 2008 11:10 am ET

It's just like The Patty Duke Show!

The only way McCain can win is to appeal to Bush's base. If he just does everything Bush did, he will win. Just like we won in 2006!

Chris from NY   May 28th, 2008 11:10 am ET

McCain can choose to hide under the table whenever Bush walks by we still know he's George Bush's third term. It's not about seeing both of them together but McCain's embrace of George W. Bush's policy. He dropped his middle position on issues in the senate to embrace the hard line position of George Bush now that he is running for president. It's only so he can win over the Republican base. He's not getting them and he's loosing his argument to the American people.

Mike   May 28th, 2008 11:10 am ET

Please help me. I cannot tell whom is whom in the photo. Is that Bush or McBush on the right?

Dee Okla.   May 28th, 2008 11:09 am ET

anything for money

Sam   May 28th, 2008 11:08 am ET

John McSame. Or is is it McShame? 2 more supers for Obama today, 46 to go. That's the news!

Pistoff   May 28th, 2008 11:08 am ET

Best buds = same failed policies. McCain's 100 years in Iraq would be the demise of our great nation. Luckily Americans won't bite his hook in November.

Jim   May 28th, 2008 11:08 am ET

Worst President in American History + Worst Candidate In Recent History = Disgrace to our founding fathers. I feel sorry for anyone who clings to their party affiliation with the GOP. It's pathetic. A party that discounts the science of Global Warming. A party that is in constant denial regarding our economy. A party who would rather spend trillions on an illegal war than spend billions on healthcare in our own country. I feel sorry for anyone who considers themselves a Republican. "Dubya" has done everything in his power to tear down our country. I pray that McCain gets handed the November Election Beatdown of his 294 year life. That way, we'll have a leader who votes IN FAVOR of veterans benefits.

Juan from L.A.   May 28th, 2008 11:07 am ET

That is sickening. No more 4 years of this administration. This is coming from a Veteran from Iraq. I admire Mr. McCain but no thank you.

Fazio   May 28th, 2008 11:07 am ET

Hmm.... This is McCain's support base.... What do you expect if McCain were President?...

4 more years of failed Bush policies, hypersecrecy and lies....

America, don't make the same mistakes again.... the country and the world can not afford it!

Stacy Clarks   May 28th, 2008 11:07 am ET

WE DO NOT NEED THIS AGAIN IN THE WHITE HOUSE

VOTE DEMOCRAT IF YOU ARE A CONCERNED CITIZEN!!!!

proud army and navy mom   May 28th, 2008 11:06 am ET

if anyone is stupid enough to vote for mcsenile, you should be sent to iraq for 100 years

I think they are holding hands   May 28th, 2008 11:05 am ET

They make such a cute couple!

Unshrub   May 28th, 2008 11:05 am ET

Why can't we see Bush's right arm-hand? That is because he has it up McCain's back making him talk. This just proves that McCain has become Bush's puppet.

???   May 28th, 2008 11:05 am ET

Some military man, he keeps giving his opposition ammo :)

Vivienne   May 28th, 2008 11:05 am ET

You can't trick all of us. We know you haven't broke up. You are still dating.

Kjetil   May 28th, 2008 11:04 am ET

And now McCain want too have a Bush third term with same old and wrong politics. He dererve too loose, if he has health too manage too campaign too election day.

charles   May 28th, 2008 11:03 am ET

Birds of a feather

Glenn   May 28th, 2008 11:03 am ET

Bush and McBush! Notice neither is wearing the required American flag on their lapel. Rove and LimpBaugh where are you when we need you, the psuedo patriotic policemen? Just goes to show how tight McBush is with Bush.

Phil Newton   May 28th, 2008 11:02 am ET

Anyone see a Nixon resemblance?

Tanya Kujath   May 28th, 2008 11:02 am ET

It is amazing what someone will do for money, isn't it?

white middle aged woman FOR OBAMA   May 28th, 2008 11:02 am ET

McCain, who's your daddy ?. This picture is worth a thousand words, but I don't know where to begin.

Felly   May 28th, 2008 11:01 am ET

They can run, but they can't hide. Sorry losers!

John, OH   May 28th, 2008 11:01 am ET

I should be able to make 3 million dollars just standing and waving.

Steve in DC   May 28th, 2008 11:01 am ET

Booooooo!!!!

Charlotte   May 28th, 2008 11:01 am ET

Too bad our political system must rely so heavily on money. We the people have become, we the pocketbooks. The money that has been spent to get a person elected is ridiculious. I guess it helps the local economies when the media and all the people rent rooms and by food and fuel to follow this candidates around. We need solutions, not empty promises. I feel Hillary Clinton will do the best job to restore our economy and our health care system. I will write her name on my ballot in November, I have a gut feeling about Obama that I just can't shake and I'm am seldom wrong about my perception of people.

CN, Florida   May 28th, 2008 11:00 am ET

Picture Perfect, the one Dems shouls use on their Ads.

Bendo   May 28th, 2008 11:00 am ET

the gift that keeps on giving...priceless...we should see this in ad's all over the US by the Dem party and the Obama campaign

Tommy   May 28th, 2008 10:59 am ET

Thanks Mr. W.(orst) President in the history of the U.S. You are the best campaign manager the domocrats have to defeat McBush in November. Thanks again! McBush, Bush and Hillary absolutely have NO shame! It is sickening really.

sprkl12000   May 28th, 2008 10:59 am ET

this is too easy....

Alex in TX   May 28th, 2008 10:58 am ET

Where's Mo?

Anne   May 28th, 2008 10:58 am ET

Dumb and dumber.

Super Dummys   May 28th, 2008 10:57 am ET

Dum and dummer

Susan, San Francisco, CA   May 28th, 2008 10:57 am ET

Both President Bush and would-be president John McCain is better than a president Hussein Osama for US. US is self-defeating by raising Hussein Osama to the highest office. It's very clear to anyone outside this country, but Americans are too naive to recognize its impact. Just the fact that the president of the most powerful country in the world is a Barack Hussein Obama will give a great boost to the true enemies of US, and weakens US image in the world significantly. But Americans seem to be not able to understand that, for whatever reason.

David Goldman,Los Angeles, CA   May 28th, 2008 10:57 am ET

IT LOOKS LIKE THEY CUT THE PICTURE WERE THEY ARE

HOLDING HANDS. MCBUSH IS PRACTICING WITH BUSH,

HE WILL HAVE TO HOLD HANDS WITH THE SAUDI KING,

JUST LIKE BUSH DOES.

Drew, Central FL   May 28th, 2008 10:57 am ET

Aww, twins.

Rob in Ann Arbor   May 28th, 2008 10:56 am ET

Haha. McCain looks really uncomfortable here. Looks like he's not too happy with the photo.

Jewish Women for Obama   May 28th, 2008 10:56 am ET

Yep, McBush will send this country down the drains and China will emerge as the world economic superpower by the time they are done...

If you are patriotic and care about the future of our country, you will vote based on truth and your conscience, rather than by race, gender or social issues...

Americans Unite for the future of our country!

Obama 2008

FRIC & FRAC   May 28th, 2008 10:55 am ET

WHO CARES?

Less, Austin Tx   May 28th, 2008 10:55 am ET

Oh goodness....these two have to be related.

They both have an agenda to finish destroying this country. McCain will finish Bush's leftovers and then ask for more.

RR   May 28th, 2008 10:55 am ET

McBush!....McCain is treating Bush like a mistress!

Mark   May 28th, 2008 10:54 am ET

Great job McWar! Please.. by all means.. keep appearing in public with the official worst president in history.. It makes for great photo ops and only makes you that much more beatable in the GE..

R.I.F.   May 28th, 2008 10:54 am ET

Two peas in a pod. BTW, didn't you gus know that Phill Gramm is helping McCain write proposed housing and econmic policy and at the same time he was the one who lobbied for UBS to ban restrictions that would've helped prvent some of the housing//mortgage crisis? These two guys are not looking out for you unless your name is UBS, Chevron, or Pfitzer.

"The Great Elephant Is Wounded"-Kareem From Hampton, Va   May 28th, 2008 10:53 am ET

Now...here comes the Obama and Clinton camps bringing there argument to THIS post! We have GOT to be the dumbest nation on earth!!! Is this not enough for the democrats to unite!
