Obama's former rival heckled by audience for saying the president respects the US constitution

Barack Obama had an unlikely ally in a hostile town hall meeting on healthcare today: former Republican presidential candidate John McCain.

During the meeting in the retirement community of Sun City, Arizona, Obama's former rival defended the president after an attendee asked: "Doesn't he [Obama] know that we still live under a constitution?"

"I'm sure that he does," McCain said. After the crowd erupted into laughter, the Arizona senator said: "No, no. I am serious. I am sure that he does and I'm sure he respects the constitution."

"No!" the attendees shouted. McCain responded: "I am absolutely convinced of it. ...I'm convinced the president is absolutely sincere in his beliefs."

McCain pleaded for a more civilised debate on healthcare: "He is sincere in his beliefs, we just happen to disagree. And he is the president. And let's be respectful."

I sent this out to all of my "conservative" friends who supported McCain because they felt like they had to oppose Obama. I hate being able to say "I told you so"

Many are so thick skulled that I question if anything will ever penetrate.
