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.

Another Obama spokeswoman said the Obama and McCain teams had been in touch "for a while" to work out a time for the men to meet.
"There are many issues they have in common," said spokeswoman Jen Psaki.
She cited climate change and ethics reform as two areas the men might work on cooperating.

Hey McCain, ask to see his proof that he is a natural born citizen, is currently legally named Barack Hussein Obama, and is not the citizen of multiple countries.

John McCain is not the leader of the GOP. George Bush is. John McCain is just another Republican senator as of election day. He is not even the minority leader. John McCain can go pound sand and wait until retirement.

Global warming, amnesty, further campaign finance reform, clsoing Gitmo, ending “torture”, throwing more money down the sh*thole for ‘green’ jobs, bailing out homeowners, permanently shutting off ANWR, redirecting the bailout monies, forming bipartisan coalition for federal judges, taxing oil companies, etc etc.
They have more in common than not.

“John McCain is not the leader of the GOP. George Bush is.”
John McCain will be the, “Judas goat,” to subvert the Republicans’Senate votes.
May the Lord make me wrong about this.
Gack!

Maybe McCain sees this as "reaching across the aisle", but to me it is nothing less than collaboration. I personally, will NEVER cooperate with a marxist!

Go ahead and trust him, McCain!
After all, he was sooo honest about the financing of his campaign, you just know he'll tell you the truth about everything else!!!
To: rabscuttle385
While I'm not happy obama won, I'm not sorry mclame lost.
Imagine if mclame had won, there is NO WAY he would be meeting with mclame two weeks after losing.
