McCain: Obama Has ‘Learned A Lot’ Appearing on Face The Nation, Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) offered some rare compliments to the man who defeated him in 2008, President Obama, saying that Obama had “learned a lot in the last two years” and since the November elections. “He is a very intelligent man. I think he’s doing a lot of right things. This emphasis on cutting spending that we’ll be talking about…was something that obviously was not talked about in the last two years,” said McCain. “I think there’s common ground because I think the president realized, as a result of the November elections, that the American people have a different set of priorities.”
