McCain has missed 93% of the votes this session, from memory. I may be a few % off. He tried grandstanding, and it didn't work. I wouldn't call it sleazy, but it was very opportunistic. I respected Obama's comment that more would be accomplished by keeping presidential politics out of the process. It should have been a non-partisan issue. McCain injected politics. Sure, Pelosi did as well, but the question was about McCain, not the rest of the zoo.
I have no intention of trying to change your mind on this, just trying to understand the thought process.

Here is the problem I have. We have this GIANT crisis and the guy who wants to be President takes himself out of the "political" process because he does not want to be "political".
I could never sit on the sidelines in his position and let an outgoing President and a broken Congress with single digit approval ratings pave the way for my first term in office. It lacks Leadership in my opinion.
