Obama & McCain, Together, Smiling? I Don't Get It.

It's all politics and posturing. Politicians move on quickly for the most part while their supporters keep the grudges, hate and bitterness alive. The politicians attack each other as part of their strategy while their followers attack each other believing in their leaders words. That's why politicians should be careful in how they use the words during the campaign, some of those words and actions stay forever in peoples minds no matter how many times the politicians smile afterward their followers won't let go the divisions and hate.

This article is very sad. When in America did it became inappropriate for people to vigorously disagree about politics, while, at the same time, remain cordial with one another?

100 years from now we'll all be dead. All of us human beings are in on this together. We should ALL get along and love one another. I'm super happy McCain will be helping Obama. Thumbs up!!!!!!!!!

Only in America you can find the level of civility and grace in politics, even though it is after the elections. McCain has earned my highest respect in his defeat then he had before loosing the election. He has a lot to contribute to making an Obama administration a better one by supporting it when he thinks it is right and opposing it tooth and nail when it is heading in the wrong direction. With McCain it is clear where he stands and he can be trusted. I don't think that one can say the same of his side kick Joe Lieberman. I see that there is CNN news about Joe being able to continue on the chairmanship of key congressional committees like the homeland security. Some people are like kids no matter how much they mischief they play and indiscipline they display they get their way and they laugh all the way to the bank. Now that is sickening and the power in Washington just continues to be in the same chosen few for decades, while the rest of the country is going to dogs in terms of the economy, no one is held responsible for their actions and the tax payers continue to pay for the mistakes of a few. I have still to see one bold move towards change but maybe it is too early.

Politicians by their own natures are not real people, they spend so much time campaigning that they lose their real selves and become plastic, artificial caricatures of what they once were.

Huckabee could take some lessons. He's getting some venting in on his old foes on the campaign trail. His new book takes digs at Romney and Fred Thompson. If he can't let go, his supporters are going to nurse their grudges and the GOP divisiveness grows.

a quote to remember, though I don't have it exact, the meaning behind it is whats important. I may bitterly oppose your views, but I will defend your right to speak them with my last breath. We are a country that allows and encourages differing opinions; we should not hate someone who disagrees with us, no matter how opposed our views may be.

Together we stand, divide we fall!!!!

We need everybody to work together!!!!

Hurrah!!!!

Pretty simple...keep your friend close, your enemies closer

Whats not to be happy about?

"meet the new boss same as the old boss..."

"...and I get on my knees and pray, we don't get fooled again"

Real change, we shall see....

The heat of the campaign is over. Obama needs support in the Senate and McCain needs support in the Whitehouse. That's just politics. It's all part of the game.

It would be nice to see them work together especailly on the subject of energy. think we best be getting on with the promise of making America energy independent.Iran just asked OPEC to reduce production by yet another 1.5 million barrels per day.This past year and the record gas prices played a huge part in our economic meltdown and seriously damaged our society.We keep planning to spend BILLIONS on bailouts and stimulus plans.Bail us out of our dependence on foreign oil. Make electric plug in car technology more affordable. It cost the equivalent of 60 cents a gallon to drive an electric plug in car. The electric could be generated from wind or solar. Get with it! Utilize free sources such as wind and solar. Stop throwing away money on things that don't work. Invest in America and it's energy independence. Create cheap clean energy, create millions of badly needed green collar jobs. Put America back to work. It is a win-win situation. We have to become more poractive citizens, educate ourselves and demand our elected officials move this country forward into the era of energy independence. Jeff Wilson's new book The Manhattan Project of 2009 Energy Independence NOW outlines a plan for America to wean itself off oil. We need a plan and we need it now!

McCain is now and has always been... a Democrat. Every Republican knows this, that's why we stayed home.

ATTN VOTERS:
Always remember, we have elections so MSM can use controversy to make money. And you thought it was to choose new leaders to solve problems.

We, candidates and voters, all have been put through the wringer of almost 2 years of campaigning for the office of President of the United States. We voters have had to listen to candidates all sing their own praises, but to make sure WE recognize their sterling qualities, the game of politics requires the candidates to tear each other down. The fireworks are all over and we,the people have spoken. Every one of the presidential candidates who put themselves forward for our
inspection in the primaries, and the two left standing after the primaries are Americans who, every one of them, wants the best for our country and our people. There could only be one person to win the office of president. The people have chosen. The time for rhetorical bombast has ended and because the other candidates continue to want the best for the U.S.A. and its citizens, they are willing to do whatever they can irrespective of who finally won the election.

I agree with everything above. So now it's time to hide your money and move forward.

supporters of the winning party always seem to believe that the guy (MAN PERSON) who does not win gets fed to the lions.

these guys all belong to the same club. their are no good guys, or bad guys, they all do the bidding of the power elite regardless of who wins. different suits that's all.

and us, the extras, we get a few scraps thrown our way if our guy wins.

Just because Obama got everyone to hate McCain, does not mean McCain is not a nice person or would be a Fantastic President. He did it to get ahead.

Obama ran on a speech and advertising.

Now he is gathering people who know what they are doing for help.

I don't get it either. Obama needs to get on with his administration, and stop the posing. McCain is just another senator now.
