Obama and McCain say they’ll work together
« on: November 17, 2008, 12:51:35 PM »
CHICAGO, Nov. 17 (UPI) -- President-elect Barack Obama's visit with John McCain Monday maintains the string of meetings Obama has had with rivals in his march the U.S. presidency.

Obama and his Republican opponent were scheduled to meet at Obama's transition headquarters in Chicago.

Obama transition spokeswoman Stephanie Cutter said both men think "Americans want and deserve a more effective and efficient government" and want to discuss how they can work together "to make that a reality," USA Today reported.

Attending the meeting will be Rep. Rahm Emanuel, D-Ill., Obama's choice for White House chief of staff, and Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., a close friend of McCain.

Graham said the meeting has no set agenda. McCain wants to learn how Obama plans to proceed and "where we can fit in," Graham said, noting that climate change is a potential area of common ground.

Last week, Obama met with Democratic primary rivals Sen. Hillary Clinton of New York and New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson, both said to be under consideration for the secretary of state position. Obama tapped primary rival Sen. Joe Biden of Delaware as his vice president.

How would that be different than 90% of what he did on the campaign trail?

What he/they did and said on the campaign trail didn't ultimately have the force of law behind it.

I was talking about McCain's lame-ass campaigning and poor decisions he made which kept it lame, post-election he isn't ina any better position to add the force of law to anything than he was before.  Well, aside from being the weak link in the GOP caucus that could destroy a filibuster through his child-like and/or retarded belief in 'bi-partisanship," anyway.

If the situation was reversed, Obama would never ever promise to work with McCain.

Correct. Obama like many Democrats in the past will stab McCain in the back. The foolish Repubs will never learn that working with Democraps is a one way street.
