How exactly did this benefit our country and not just attempt to benefit McCain in the eyes of the ignorant and uneducated? Oh yeah, a real important looking meeting happened:thumbsup:
It was even worse than that. Several hours before the White House meeting, Senate leaders fromm BOTH SIDES held a joint news conference and said they had an agreement, and they didn't even need the White House meeting. McCain arrived and immediately he went to speak with the House Republicans --- House, not the Senate where he is a member. When the White House meeting happened, everyone was blindsided by disagreement and new demands form these same House Republicans. I am of the opinion that he intentionally blew this thing up.
