McCain: Get over your temper tantrum, Mr. President

Washington (CNN)Sen. John McCain says he is "convinced" Obama is letting his personal problems with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu get in the way of shared policy goals.

"The President should get over it. Get over your temper tantrum, Mr. President," the Arizona Republican said Sunday in an interview with CNN's Gloria Borger on "State of the Union."

"It's time that we work together with our Israeli friends and try to stem this tide of ISIS and Iranian movement throughout the region, which is threatening the very fabric of the region," he said.

"The President has his priorities so screwed up that it's unbelievable," McCain said.

Psychological projection is a theory in psychology in which humans defend themselves against unpleasant impulses by denying their existence in themselves, while attributing them to others.[1] For example, a person who is rude may constantly accuse other people of being rude.

McCain needs to STFU forever just for having demonstrated the most spectacular case of poor judgment in the history of the universe for selecting Palin as his running mate. That single act means he is not entitled to criticize any politician ever again, for anything.

I think the press just indulges him now, letting him spout off on whatever he wants. They know he's eaten up with resentment that Obama took the prize that was rightfully his. The press used to be his champion, you'd think they'd try to shield him from making a fool of himself now. Bitter old man, never had the right stuff.
