Recession Reality: John McCain and Jon Kyl’s Arizona.

The dynamic duo: Gramps McSame and Kyl along with McSame's sugar mama Cindy.

Thinkprogress:

Arizona Sens. Jon Kyl (R) and John McCain (R) have vehemently opposed President Obama’s recovery package, both voting against the legislation yesterday.

McCain called the bill “generational theft, and in a Senate GOP press conference today, Kyl claimed that there are “a lot of earmarks and a lot of wasteful Washington spending in this bill.” As two of the most vocal opponents of the bill, Kyl and McCain need to better understand the “recession reality” facing their constituents.

Arizona is plagued by an all-time high unemployment rate. “I’m just optimistic…that I’ll get something” from the stimulus, said job-seeker Eduardo Vivanco. Roughly 74,000 jobs could be created or preserved by the recovery package. Furthermore, the state legislature’s budget director says that the recovery plan’s “health and education money…could help close the state’s budget shortfalls.”

TGCN he's lost his friends and he's trying to get them back. McCain lose the electiion thereby lost the Republican control. Now Cindy was seen with her new boyfriend and McCain has to show he's part of the team again. The people suffering in Arizona aren't important as bringing down Obama.
Notice the Super Bowl Arizona Team didn't invite McCain. McCain will hope there is a weak opponent and pray he slides in to win. McCain gets mad easily so Cindy has moved on and John is doing the best he can with the few Law Makers that still work with him.
