McCain sparked the ire of the song’s co-writer, the founding member of Orleans and current New York congressman, John Hall.
“This is yet another example of John McCain not learning anything from George Bush’s mistakes,†Hall wrote First Read in an interview over e-mail. “First, McCain adopted Bush’s failed policy of an open-ended war in Iraq, then he wrapped his arms around the failed Bush economic policies that have put the squeeze on middle class families. Now, he’s making the same mistake George Bush made illegally using a copyrighted song without asking either the writers or the performers for permission.”
*** UPDATE *** McCain camp sends over this response to MSNBC’s David Shuster. “We love John Hall’s stuff,” spokesman Brian Rogers said. “We will take his concerns under consideration. Beyond that, we have no other comment.”

So when the owner of the song tells you to stop using it since you never asked anyone for permission, and instead of saying “Sorry, our mistake” and moving on, you come back with “We will take his concerns under consideration.”?????
Um, what exactly is there to consider? You had no right to use this song and got busted, case closed.
McCain is so much like George Bush he even refuses to admit when he is wrong.How Do I Feel?:
