And he blames it all on President Obama, because: “The self-pity that Obama continues to exhibit is really kind of sad, really,” McCain said on Wednesday during Fox News’ “On the Record with Greta Van Susteren.” Oh, and speaking of self-pity, McCain added: “You know, I can’t work with him at all,” McCain said.
