McCain: Obama’s ‘Bayonets And Horses’ Remark A ‘Cheap Shot’ And I ‘Resent It’

Appearing on MSNBC's "Morning Joe," Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) praised Mitt Romney's performance in the final debate and criticized President Obama for mocking the GOP candidate's approach to the defense budget.

"Frankly, I don't understand why the president wants to take these kind of cheap shots -- bayonets and horses, what's that all about?" he said. "You know, when I debated then-Senator Obama I didn't criticize or belittle his lack of experience on national security issues. And he seemed to take these kind of cheap shots. ... I kind of resent it."

"I think you should treat you opponent with some respect. ... It was small ball."

1. Shut up john........

2. OK - true, Obama needs not take this cheap shot, but Romney hit him with so many cheap shots in 1st

debate. Damned if you do, damned if you don't.

[GoCubsGo]

9. That wasn't a "cheap shot".

It was the perfect illustration of how Romney is living in the past, and how he has no fucking clue about the modern military. And, he brought this upon himself by making that ignorant comment about having fewer ships in the Navy now than during WWI.

3. what ever you say, johnny boy...bwahahahahahahaa

[porphyrian]

4. Let the losers cry. n/t

[WhollyHeretic]

5. small ball? Did he mean bush league?

[Ganja Ninja]

6. "I think you should treat you opponent with some respect"

And what about respecting the voters? Telling outright lies, trying to block and intimidate them from voting. Purposely deceiving people into registering and the screwing up their forms or throwing them away if they aren't Republican. Trying to confuse likely Democratic voters with false election dates. Phone jamming, Voter caging and a playbook full of dirty tricks that we see every election. No one from the GOP has a right to lecture anyone about fair play and respect.

8. This

Excellent point, sir.

[ProSense]

10. Good point, but

this is also the man whose running mate accused the Barack Obama of "palling around with terrorist."

In fact, Romney, his sons and his allies have aligned themselves with birthers.

McCain has no room to talk about respect.

[GoCubsGo]

11. Amen!

Grandpa must have dozed off during the last debate, when Slick Willard essentially told the President to sit down and shut up so he could speak. But, he's a typical republican. They can dish it out by the truckload, but they can't take it themselves.

[Jeff In Milwaukee]

14. Who should treat their opponents with respect? That one...(nt)

[ecstatic]

20. Exactly! nt

[Dread Pirate Roberts]

7. He's Still Ticked Off.....

that that young whipersnapper who keeps hitting his ball on his lawn kicked his butt four years ago. He's never been the same and he's never gotten over it.

[WinkyDink]

12. It's not McCain's place to "resent" anything from the debate; he was not involved in it.

[Jeff In Milwaukee]

15. Let's be honest. He watched a "Matlock" re-run and then went to bed at 7:30 (nt)

[Grammy23]

13. But apparently that doddering old fool thinks that it was OK for Romney

to lie repeatedly and to RUDELY over talk the President and eat up all the time by blathering on and on while the President politely tried to wait his turn. If the moderator had not stopped Romney, he would have talked the entire 90 minutes. That would have been his (Romney's) idea of a perfect debate. He does all the talking and Obama sits by passively listening to him drone on and on.

McCain is still smarting from the beat down he took in 2008 and just wanted one more chance to get his licks in on the President. It was petty and small minded of McNasty. He did not redeem himself at all and looked like he was just showing his sour grapes.

[CanisCrocinus]

16. Right you are, President McCain!

Oh, wait....

[reflection]

17. I've never heard a man who was winning a fight say

"please stop hitting me"

[sinkingfeeling]

18. "..treat you (sic) opponent with some respect" Like Mittwit did to the President in the

first debate? "I'm still speaking"

[ecstatic]

19. Actually, it was a perfect and concise description of Romney's

confusion on what it takes to have a strong military. An explanation that even the independents will understand.

[CTyankee]

21. McCain was a whiny loser...

[Comrade_McKenzie]

22. The President is just giving back what he got. nt

[BumRushDaShow]

23. Insert the usual response to Mclame utterances

[Mike Daniels]

24. Are Republicans just being willfully obtuse regarding "horses and bayonettes"?

How hard is it to accept that it was a reference to using antiquidated techniques/equipment to fight a war in the 21st century?

[sadbear]

25. The republican party is the party of victims...

at least that's how they see themselves.
