Republican Sen. John McCain, who took President Obama to task this morning for politics as usual, canceled a noon fundraiser at the offices of mega-lobbying firm BGR, presumably because it conflicted with today's White House summit on health reform.

BGR represents a wide range of health industry interests including hospitals, nursing homes and

drug companies such as Pfizer, GlaxoSmithKline and Eli Lilly.

Probably not the best optics to leave a discussion on health reform to raise campaign money from lobbyists representing the industry.
