I personally home McCain stays away from helping Obama since we all really need to learn how Obama will lead . . . not how he will lead from surrogates.

My hope about any change he promised is deteriorating sharply.

Obama was dishonest when he painted McCain as being out of touch and behind the times, now he turns around and wants his "help."

Now we all know that Obama doesn''t know so much, has no idea of how to lead, and is putting together a "rat pack" kind of governance. What a loser.

McCain is an honrable man, he has earned that title, no argument there, Obama has not earned anything but a "win for an election" he has yet to prove. All the bantering about it is follishness until the results about his promises and actions are in. Don''''t hold your breath you will win, too. Pity the fool who counts his chickens before they are hatched, childish, if you ask me.

I take exception that McCain IS an honorable man.

It''s, in my view, a past tense. McCain was an honorable man until the 2008 election campaign, then he lost his honor by lying and making false statements about his opponent.

Maybe over time, McCain can regain his honor but for now it is LOST!

It isn''t desperate, friend, it is honesty, a concept that frightens you terribly, you have no idea what reality of this "Obama" means, until it is to late. You have signed your ''death warrant'' and I pity you.

Why does Obama cross his legs like a girl? Look at McCain cross his legs, very manly.

Why do you always post foolish comments? Who cares! Bush is a manly cowboy and look at the state of our union? Kinda glad he crosses them differently.

Look at those pictures again, you id.iot! John McCain has his legs wrapped tightly together, like a girl who is trying to hide/protect her "private area", whereas Obama has one ankle resting up on his knee-- a posture that little girls are taught to avoid like the plague because it will reveal their "private area"!!!

You repugs are so desperate to find anything to criticize Obama with that you get everything all mixed up. Isn''t it about time for you losers to grow up?

PS, gop_will_win: maybe you didn''t get the election results yet... the GOP has LOST. Time to crawl back into your little hidey hole.

Perhaps Mr. McCain realizes what those who have hijacked the Republican party find it hard to accept: They LOST the election by a landslide. America paid attention for two long years as they laid out their case, and we rejected them and their attack-based campaigns. Rather than focusing on becoming again the party of "NO", they should work with the new President to unite Americans and improve our quality of living. Otherwise, we should vote more of them out of office.

It''''s good to see both men practicing what they preached during the election. Both sides working together and reaching across the the aisle. A new kind of government with the best interests of the average American in mind.

Now, if the far-right and far-left could just set aside the jabs and arrows and start providing optimistic commentary. Don''''t give up criticism where criticism is due. Just stop with all the hatred, whining and negativity. That accomplishes nothing.

I agree. John McCain can bring something to the table. He should have the wisdom to bring around some difficult decisions to what to do in the mideast. This is going to need both parties to be locked in step to get this done.

Pat Robertson on Laura Ingraham today......"Look at all those faces on Mt. Rushmore ....ALL promoters of protectionist, isolationist (if you will) policies of independence and self-sufficiency."

The only voice of reason in the entire GOP. I wish Barack would listen to him.

First time I listened to Ingraham''s show without changing stations in complete disgust.

Does anyone know what channel Sarah Palin is on tonight? I heard she''s going to have all the kids, Trip, Track, Bristol, Smegma, and Kudzu, and she''ll be announcing wedding plans for her daughter''s marriage to Joe the Plumber.

Its good that Obama is working with Republicans from the Get GO. Nothing will get done otherwise and stuff needs to be fixed and working together is the only way to do it.

I think John McCain would make a Great Secretary of Defense.

Hillary will make a great Secretary of State.

I voted for Obama and I think McCain would be a Great Choice for Secretary of Defense !

Interesting... we are now (after the campaign ends) seeing the John McCain that might have had a chance in the election. His concession speech and forward have shown the McCain I have always respected and, quiet frankly, voted for in the primaries. What a shame he sold out to the neocons and the far right wing-nuts while running for president. It would seem that now he is attempting to recapture his soul that was handed over to the dark side for votes.

Good for McCain. If he had acted like this before the election, who knows, he might have won.

I think this is a wonderful step in the right direction. Two men who are of different backgrounds, ie, one a military hero, the other an afro-american
man who did well in college and went on to become the first Afro-American President-elect.....can sit down and work together to help bring this Nation back to where it should be.
