McCain: Let’s Cut Back On “Jumping Up And Down” At State Of Union
Senator John McCain appeared on Face the Nation and told Bob Schieffer he’s pleased with the new civil tone in Washington and happy to sit next to Democrats at the State of the Union address. Yet McCain not only wants to sit away from his friends, but also wants everyone to stop cheerleading so the President won’t be distracted. Where’s the fun in that?
McCain suggested:
“Might be nice, maybe we cut back a little bit on all the jumping up and down, which I think frankly distracts from any president’s speech when it’s interrupted every 30 seconds by people jumping up and down, because the President isn’t speaking to Congress, he’s speaking to the American people.”
When Schieffer put forth the idea floated by some that the plan of Democrats and Republicans sitting together is really just a trap by President Obama to silence Republicans from making too much noise together, McCain readily dismissed it. Instead, he once again praised Obama for leading the way in changing the atmosphere in Washington and for his memorial speech in Arizona which McCain was still admiring.
