Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) said last night that President Obama was “very, very uncomfortable” with McCain’s description of health care reform deal-making as “unsavory.”

If you recall, some old tensions were resurfaced at the health care reform summit yesterday when Obama fired back at McCain’s comments about campaign promises with, “We’re not campaigning anymore. The election is over.”

On Sean Hannity’s show later on, McCain tried to save a bit of face by describing Obama as “uncomfortable” with his comments about the “special deals” made to get the bill passed.

“My impression is,” said McCain, “that he’s very, very uncomfortable. He really didn’t try to respond to the unsavory sausage making that went on in developing this health care reform bill.”
