I thought Rudy was the 911 man who caught the hijackers and saved New York? Why would these guys be here?

Yes, Shane, I agree, with you- shout out to The Cafferty's during their very difficult times and the loss of their matriarch. Our thoughts & prayers are with you all.

We must unite people, I am so tired of the bickering and partisan politics, we can do better. The only campaign I see that fosters unity not by words but by actions is the Obama/Biden ticket. All week long during the RNC.....attack, attack, attack, no solutions, and fear! I am so tired of the crap people!

Obama/Biden 08
Yes we can!
America Unite!

You guys commenting above have no sympathy, respect, or integrity for anything. Obama and McCain's jobs are to be politicians. They are putting it aside for one day to join as one to remember OUR citizens that died. Not our democratic or republican citizens but our AMERICAN citizens. Have a heart. No photo op, not trying to show who knows more than who, just give these two respect that they are doing this. I'm an Obama supporter and I dislike McCain and Palin tremendously. But, for this day, i'm not looking at them as republicans but americans. C'mon people, have some respect!

Please try to remember two of these dates, however in different years, and their horrible consequencies

1) New York 9/11/2001
2) Chile 9/11/1973

Are you honest enough for that?

So nice of McCain to show face at ground zero with Obama. If only Bush and his administration had really pursued the terrorist who perpetrated the attack where they were, instead of taking it as an opportunity to get the nod from the country to run rampant with their oil and fear agenda, which have contributed to divisions and economic disaster. Would someone remember THAT on 9/11 too? Thank you!

And my heartfelt condolences to Cafferty and his family on their loss.

Good – we've lost more of our kids in Iraq, tho, than were lost 9/11.

I just hope none of them make snarky remarks like we've been exposed to all the past week. Definitely that woman is not a diplomat.

If they really want to show that they respect the victims of the attacks and the victims of the wars, then they will stop questioning each other's patriotism and focus on the issues. Shame on the McCain campaign, drowning out veterans with legit concerns at the RNC and questioning the loyalty and patriotism of their enemies. Such bickering dishonors the memory of those Americans.

That's great that Senator's Obama and McCain will put aside politics for 9/11. This was and still is a very trying time for the country.

I wish you all had left the Carol Cafferty storyline open for people to leave special messages for Jack. He is my favorite on CNN. My deepest, heart felt sympathy to the Cafferty family.

AM from Eugene; Very in appropriate comment! You just showed the rest of us your stupidity.

Now back to CNN's post. Both candidates need to unite as do the rest of American when it comes to September 11, 2001. That day changed the life of millions of Americans and it changed America! Remember Dems, the terrorist attacked America not the Democrats or Republicans.

Yes all of us came together after 9/11 and then the republicans used this event to consolidate power and to abuse the constitution.

Osama bin Laden is still out there since the Bush/McCain gang were only after oil instead of "justice".

And if you think things will change with a McCain/Silly Sarah administration goggle Anne Kilkinney and read about the real Sarah

I keep getting censored on here, I guess CNN management doesn't want the truth out there!

This is nice and appropriate. It would have even more meaning of the events of 9/11 had not been used at a political convention as a method of suggesting that one party had the lock on handling national safety.

Independent Voter...um...were the people who died in 9/11 soldiers? I didn't think so. I think every American as well as non-American who had ties to America has been deeply effected by this very sad day. I think your misguided hatred should be contained. Mr Obama and Mr McCain both agreed to this "cease-fire" and it is commendable on both their parts.

Good for them this is American unity vs. the crap I have been reading on these blogs. CNN with your ratings next to last from the Poll of Polls as you put it, you should really considering getting new political pundits because they certainly aren't journalists.

I don't know how Obama and Biden are going to be able to stomach standing next to that pretty attack dog with lipstick, Sarah Palin who, in my opinion, showed how a Christian is NOT supposed to act.

A joint visit sounds more appropriate than the exploitation video on 9/11 shown at the RNC.

Do President Bush and his female equivalent, Sarah Palin, have plans for public appearances on this day?

One would think that our government could put aside the party and work for the American people!

Before I thought that the government did work together for the American people, but now I see it that each party has their own agenda and it is NOT for the American people.

I am really getting tired of this government not working together. The 109 congress was bad enough, but now the 110 congress was even worse, thinking of only their party and NOT the American people.

That's what our country needs....politicians finally working together as Americans, instead of partisan politics. Let's hope they continue to do this after the election.

Finally a couple of men who understand that we are Americans and the focus should be on uniting us. They have made this an election not a mud slinging contest. I am proud of both of them. We are lucky that both are in this race.

Glad to hear you both are putting the crap aside. Hey is anybody noticting what is going on over in Eastern Europe?????? Dick Cheney and Rice are over there manipulating the next war!! Our political drama is mezmorizing us with lamaze like fixiation (myself included) away from the Warmonger Cowboy admin while they create problems for the October surprise. Dont be fooled these people want to stay in power with McCain/Palin stepping into their legacy to start another oil war.....with the international oil resource communities and with our own domestic community. The only way to get the oil is to divide countries and our nation!!!!

Too bad it takes a terrorist attack on our country to bring the two sides together to work cooperatively. Otherwise it's nothing but bickering.

I know this may be in bad taste.. but maybe Bill Ayers had a point to his madness.

Palin's ties to the AIP, including a video of her addressing the 2008 AIP Convention in Fairbanks go to sarahpalinexposed.com

why would any support a person for Vice President of United States of America (or any other office for that matter) that supports succession from the U.S.

By: Independent Voter

9/11 would seem to be a photo opp for Mr. McCain and his new side kick. Apparently Obama, who has ZERO creds in war, in peace and pretty much every area other than public speaking, needs to find some way, any way, to link himself with this event.

Solution? Attach yourself to McCain and act like you're both really concerned. Any way to get your face in there, right Barack?
