CHICAGO (Reuters) - President-elect Barack Obama will meet with his former rival, Republican Sen. John McCain, on Monday to talk about ways they can work together, an Obama spokeswoman said on Friday.

The meeting between the former competitors will take place in Chicago at Obama's transition headquarters two weeks after the Democratic senator won a decisive victory over McCain in the November 4 election.

It will be the first time the two have spoken since McCain called Obama to concede the election. McCain gave an emotional speech after the concession in which he promised to help his former rival address the country's many challenges.

Yep, he is reaching across the aisle. Let’s mediate instead of lead.

It amazes me that McCain has no dignity at all. How can he go kiss O’s feet like this? He gave signals when he ran the commerical congratulating O on winning the nomination, throwing his own supporters under the bus for using O’s middle name.......and on and on and on.

It takes McCain less than a day to set up meeting with Obama, but he still won’t stand up and unequivocally defend Palin from the cowardly attacks she has endured from his own campaign staff over the past two weeks. Speaks volumes.

Get ready for the Obama/McCain administration. In reality the Roman Senate has now become the Roman Caesar. Its a good thing for New Rome that most of those senators currently think alike. Time to get ready to win back conservative seats in 2010. US Romans will be in an uproar from the policies emanating from this Roman Senate.

Good point...It took McCain less time to “reach out” (become liberal) to Obama, than it did to defend his VP candidate from his own staff...a real treasonous loser

Renault, “The cafe is closed until further notice. Clear the room at once!”
Rick, “How can you close me up? On what grounds?”
Renault, I’m shocked. Shocked to find that gambling is going on here!”
Grouper, “Your winnings, sir.”

Look, McCain is scum. He became scum the day he attacked the Swift Boat Vets for Truth. Scum.

I voted for Palin, but no bumper sticker. No $$. Nothing. I am so sorry I did not stick to my guns and wrote in a true American, Thomas Sowell.

The only solace is that we did not want what will happen in the next 4 years to be blamed on conservatives. It was coming anyway and now the RINO/DINO/Progressos take all the blame. Conservatism can only go up from here.

As a reach-around across-the-aisle move that would ensure domestic tranquility, I submit that McCain and Obama should be joined in homosexual marriage in California.

These guys go along to get along. There is no honesty on either side. Congress is filled with money mongers. Thanks to the RINOS, the DINOS and ACORN we now have the USSA!

John McCain, Barack Hussein Obama, and George Bush are all Globalists, so what difference does it make? All have the same goals, (to force the USA to give up its sovereignty to the UN. They all want to open up the borders and let all illegal immigrants in.
