Obama And McCain Hold Meeting

   Joint Statement issued by Obama and McCain.

"At this defining moment in history, we believe that Americans of all parties want and need their leaders to come together and change the bad habits of Washington so that we can solve the common and urgent challenges of our time."

"It is in this spirit that we had a productive conversation today about the need to launch a new era of reform where we take on government waste and bitter partisanship in Washington in order to restore trust in government, and bring back prosperity and opportunity for every hardworking American family," it said. "We hope to work together in the days and months ahead on critical challenges like solving our financial crisis, creating a new energy economy and protecting our nation's security."

  Future White House chief of staff Rahm Emanuel was also present, as was close friend of John McCain, Senator Lindsey Graham.

    Now. I can understand why Emanuel would be at this meeting, but Senator Graham?  This criminal has no business being anywhere near President-elect Obama, or any Democrat, for that matter. It is part of Graham's genius which has brought on our financial banking difficulties in the first place. WTF?

    I do question Obama having this man present at this meeting. I'm also hoping that Obama doesn't take any of Graham's advice. If he does? We're screwed.
