John “Maverick” McCain said in a speech yesterday that he has more in common with Obama on foreign policy than he does with certain people (i.e., actual mavericks) in his own party:

“[President Obama] and I have had our differences. Many of those differences will persist. But there are times these days when I feel that I have more in common on foreign policy with President Obama than I do with some in my own party.”

The rest of the speech was the usual platitudes: “I know some Americans want to pull back from the world right now. That’s a luxury we can’t afford. We are America. We can’t retreat into splendid isolation. We can’t withdraw from the world. We can’t escape its challenges.”
