WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama is poking fun at Sen. John McCain's claim he was not identified as a maverick.
Obama quipped Saturday night at the White House correspondent's dinner that "we know what happens in Arizona when you don't have an ID. ... Adios amigos."
McCain faces a tough re-election fight against a conservative opponent and has distanced himself from the maverick label he once embraced as a presidential candidate.
