John McCain actually said...

"We are very proud of your work and we are very proud and appreciate the many contributions you have made."

"We cannot afford to squander billions of taxpayer dollars on administrative errors and deceitful practices in the Medicare and Medicaid programs."

"U.S. climate policy would be more of an opportunity for, rather than a hindrance to, the U.S economy."

"With Medicare costs rising to $454 billion in fiscal year 2008 and Medicaid expenditures topping $352 billion, it is important for us to continue to exercise robust oversight of these programs."
