McCain: Obama "In Full Campaign Mode"

Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) shot back at Obama Tuesday after the President charged that Congressional Republicans lack a legitimate jobs plan.

“I think thats very unfortunate to mock serious proposals. I think it really indicates he’s in full campaign mode,”  McCain, who co-authored the GOP’s jobs proposal, told reporters.

The Jobs Through Growth Act, which was introduced by Senate Republicans last Thursday, does not contain provisions from President Obama’s stalled jobs package. Instead, it focuses on repealing the healthcare reform law and adding a balanced budget amendment to the Constitution. 

McCain levied additional criticism at the President’s decision to host a three day bus tour through North Carolina and Virginia.

“Going down their on the tax payers dime, calling it not a campaign event and then attacking Republicans is probably the worst overreach I’ve observed in the years that I’ve been in the Congress,” McCain said.
