9/11 memorial is a good and decent thing, but , , , , , , ,
, , , , , , no love lost between these two.

Obama can make peace with McSame after he wins the White House, and McSame is back in Arizona!

JACK

guess you can't read – lots of negatives from mccain supporters.

OBAMA VOTED NO AS ENGLISH AS OFFICIAL LANGUAGE OF THE UNITED STATES!!! THATS TRULY UN-AMERICAN AND PANDERING FOR HISPANIC VOTES.

Obama is scared, cant even give specific details, he never mentions the real effects of the policies, he is playing a " i hope this will work campaign". we need someone who has reformed. and to obama, who criticizes her on the bridge to nowhere she rejected, he never mentioned he voted for it....and obama will do like he did to other countries when it comes to russia, he will say i am sorry about america how can we make a deal, leading us into a socialist and beyond country ... watch all this unfold into a great american turnaround in the end.....i was the 1st to be sent to afghanistan, and 1st to be sent to iraq in the army.. obama need's to enlist in the army for 4 years as enlisted or officer before he acts like he knows what goes on in places like that.. what a sham it would be to get another fake politician in for another 4 yrs.

McCain/Palin "08"

of course, the mccain camp would only stop the lies for one day.

Could you idiots who can't refrain from your nasty comments just go away for this one day to honor the memory of 911. No respect and ignorant – you call yourselves adult Americans – I think not.

OBAMA asking McCain for a joint visit.
A true Leader that OBAMA is.

United with stand, but divided we fall. Unity in the United States of America. Thank you LORD!!!

NO "evangelical" would EVER vote for Obama! LOLOLOLOL You have to follow that bible thingy. You are a sheep in wolve's clothing

Seems To Me That It Is Obama Who Is Reaching Across The Isle! . . . Just As I Knew He Would!

I hope to god shes talking about Atlanta Georgia....because if its any other Georiga costing us half our country she is a nut case!

It is so dumb for anyone to believe that these polls will predict the results of the election. The youths that are in millions for Senator Obama do not use landline, they used cell phones.

Who are these people behind these polling? Are they aware that times have changed, that most people use cell phones now?

A very telling picture - the choice should be obvious.

OBAMA/BIDEN
BARACK ON!

I did not see Obama "dogging McCain's footsteps," as one poster wrote. What I saw was Obama reaching out to one of the crowd, asking an aide for a business card so that person in need could contact his office. I also saw Obama, Mrs. McCain and Mayor Bloomberg energetically walking uphill after the ceremony. Senator McCain appeared to be a bit winded. Is he really physically able at 72 to take on the demands of the presidency? Oh, and it's not our enemies who want him elected. In response to another poster, I would NOT call the Canadians and Europeans I spoke with this summer our enemies, but rather, our close friends, and they were in favor of Obama. Our enemies want the GOP to continue in office, as the Bush administration has been Al Qaeda's greatest recruiting tool.

Wow Palin just said we might have to go to war with Russia over Georgia....now what a stupid thing to say! OMG she just blew it there! You are not even VP yet you are already out to start WWIII? yes we will go to war over georgia killing 150 million Americans and 200 Million Russians and god knows how many others over Georgia! Jebus if this person gets in office or her warmonger grandfather we are all toast! Thats not the way you stand up to the Russians without even discussions first. I dont think you people hear me 150 million dead when the nukes fly over

I hope the press gives Sarah a hard time for the following reasons:

-John should never have selected someone who is not experienced.
-John should never have put himself before his country
- When John's plane was shot down, he didn't think anything like that could ever happened. I guess he also thinks he's immortal.
- Sarah should have been vetted properly
-Sarah should not have been sequestered in order to catch up
-If she's going to be an attack dog, she's got to be tested

Once again, for America's sake, I hope the press gives her a hard time. We've known John for 27 years, Biden for 36 and Barach for 4. We've known Sarah for 13 days. I hope the press gives her a hard time. She can take it, if she's smart. If she's not, she's not ready.

America 08

Americans died there in New York that day, What a horrible day that was for us all. The attack did not come from Iraq, yet innocent children, women and men are dying there too. My sympathy is for all who have suffered.

Obama proves time and time again, he's the real deal...McCain has sold his soul to Karl Rove and it's sad because he only did it when it was obvious he could not win fairly. I think McCain could have run this campaign with dignity because he's a good man, though a somewhat weak leader, but he has chosen the low, stupid, Karl Rove road...it's a pity...now he's an afterthought, an old man on the sidelines while his VP gets paraded around as the religious right hero, those people are so desperate for their own celebrity that they have build Mrs Palin up so high to their base that she could never live up to it, and the inevitable fall from grace will be swift and terrible...

Obama '08

I think some people are attracted to a Palin ticket because that are hurting in the current Bush Administration and want their pain to end now. I think those people will be disappointed and disillusioned.

It will depend if America wants to move on from the Scooter Libby / Rove years.

Hopefully, McCain will retire finally.

Ms Gunn:

If Russia continues on this path, ivades europe, blocks oil outlets to the same.... yea... we might go on 12-25.

Or you could have Obama tell them to stop... or he will say stop again!

"the polls are dropping? HA, they don't even take into consideration the fact that many American's don't even use landlines anymore…they use cell phones which are not used in the polls! "

LISTEN

THE POLLING USES CELL PHONE DATA

Got it.

Go the the Gallup site and look at the methods they use.

THEY USE CELL PHONE DATA

Repeating this lie over and over again will not make it true.

JACK DID YOU NOT READ THE COMMENTS FROM REAGAN AND BOBBY,FL

Just saw 1st part of the Charlie Gibson interiview – call me cynical but I noticed a bunch of breaks in the interview and places where her mouth was moving and no words coming out.

It's said to see, that Obama supporters here can't forget the hate the seem to have for everyone, even on a day like today, what is wrong with you people! hope and change must mean something really different to you!

Good job Senators!

You folks are something else. Palin has the left looking like even bigger blathering idiots than many of us even thought possible. Truly a new low as they fall all over themselves to dig dirt and side-track.

The truth is Palin is the shot in the arm McCain needed and will solidify the conservative base and pull much of middle with her. Obama is done. Next move...out of desperation...dump Biden and bring Billary back.

Ps None of us will ever forget where we were 7 years ago.
Neither will Obama...12th grade LOLOLOLOLOLOL

Michelle is home taking care of her children.

V from London:

65% of all cell phones are registered to people over 30 years old

Think again....

Reagon thats out of line... Cnn shouldn't have posted that

I'll bet McCain is asking Obama "Now why are we here"?
We shouldn't be too hard on McCain afterall he's 73 years old. But not to worry, "True Grit Sarah" is waiting in the wings!
(God save us all).

IF CLINTON WOULD HAVE TAKEN BIN LADEN WHEN OFFERED 9-11 VERY WELL MAY NOT HAVE HAPPENED. IF ONLY HE WOULD HAVE THOUGHT ABOUT COUNTRY FIRST INSTEAD OF BEING BLOWN IN THE OVAL OFFICE FIRST.

Perfect!
Keep planning photo ops with Obama standing beside McCain.
Look at how ancient McCain looks; in particular contrast with Obama's appearance as a healthy, energetic middle-aged man.

This WILL affect voter's impressions. No one wants to vote for a guy with one foot in the grave. Especially with Sarah Palin standing next in line. Yikes!

I am glad to see both candidates together for this event, we are all Americans regardless of party differences. I expect to see the press asking HARD questions to Palin. She has only been questioned by Gibson, why ?? I have a right to have answers to ligit. questions. & it is their (the press) job to do this, that is what they are suppose to do. Rachael Maddow, Olberman, Matthews are doing good & cnn is starting to stand up to some of these liars that come on their show & get by with anything they say & never get called on it.

If you think Bush put us though War...wait until McCain takes over. I feel sorry for the folks who kept him captive.

God Bless Us All

Obama will be a great leader and America will once again be the envy of the world.

Obama/Biden 08!

After keeping the press at bay while she learns the script, the media will eat her for lunch.

But no matter, John just selected her as a figurehead anyway. His real VP will be Joe Lieberman. That's why Joe isn't worried about going back to the Senate. He'll need to stay with McCain to nudge him when he mixes up the Sunni and the Shiites.

Sorry, I know this is a bipartisan post, but CNN won't give us another space.

Why does it come as no surprise that the joint appearance to honor American lives lost was proposed by Senator Obama. Thank you Senator for at least momentarily ceasing the Rovian imbecilities and showing us that you do know what matters to the American families.

Obama/Biden 08

Barack, invited McBush not his Mc. Cindy. He should have leaved the wife home.

I can't believe Obama set up a meeting with McCain without preconditions!

To all of you MCCain/Painin supporters,

Just two words! NOVEMBER FOURTH!

Yall ain't seen nothin yet!

Obama 4-ever

We shouldn't be too hard on McCain, afterall, the poor fella is 73 years old.
Not to worry, if anything happens, "True Grit Sarah" is waiting in the wings!

Cool.

They almost look like they could be running mates (in some strange world).

I hope that John McCain can work with President Obama next year. That would be nice.

McCain's Flag Pin is permanently scared into his POW scars.

NObama was forced to wear one.

For many years I have been a faithful supporter of CNN but I actually turn off the commentary now. Fox is all about the right and they make no bones about it. CNN has always been center; but everytime I hear the news it sounds like FOX now. The think the pundits are so impressed with Palin that they are forgetting that the race is between Obama and McCain, not Palin. Then all the right wing commentators are playing up the silly stories that have no bearing on the case to continue this Palin mania. I think as a group you have gone overboard in trying to balance this election coverage. We need a little more positive on Obama to balance out the negative we hear from FOX. I know many CNN pundits supported Hillary, but is it necessary to punish the Democratic ideals by giving this race to McCain? Pat

I agree with you Nicole, Reagan's comment shows how senseless he thinks.

Why in VA, it probably has something to do with am injury's effect over time. Many athletes tear a ligament, have surgery and return to the game but then don't walk after 50. I suggest the next time you decide to insinuate that a veteran POW is faking a war related injury you do it on a day other than September 11. Seems a little inappropriate. That being said let us all remember our pledge of allegiance. Today let us salute the flag and the REPUBLIC!!!!!! for which it stands.

Peace to all. September 11th was an equal opportunity day of sadness and pain for everyone.

pj – Michelle Obama was with her children as they start school. Is there something wrong with that? I thought Obama was running for pres, not Michelle. But go ahead and twist Michelle's taking care of her children into something negative.

michelle obama, was at home tending her children, while sarah, was talking about war on 9-11

I find it insulting that both politician are using what happend on 9/11 as a tool for their campaign. People often ask for real change, but they keep on voting for the same politician over and over. Elect new people into office not the same old politicians that promise change, but just give us more of the same. We should be ashamed of our selves, we ask for change that we don't really want to make happend.

People! Sarah, just said that we might have to go to war with russia, on 9-11!

To Jack. There have been negative comments from both sides. It is really sad actually. Please honor the fallen. Please don't further this country down the same callous, cynical road we have been going down for quite some time.

Kudos to everyone who refrained from partisan attacks on this one. God Bless America.

Where was Obama at the 10 town hall meetings he said he would attend? Why does Obama keep saying 'I would debate that anytime and turns every one of them down? All talk. No wonder he won the talker poll. Thats all he does.

I agreed that it was remarkable for both to be together for today. I also agree with Missy that we should all pray for the safety of Sarah Palin' son and for all the others who are out there in warfront. May God continue to guide our sisters and brothers in uniform.

And for you Reagan who made a comment to Elizabeth, that is a senseless comment made by you.

Vote Obama/Biden 08.

Obama is a smart, kind, good person.

To bad I can not say the same of many of his supporters I see in these postings.

You may loose your best, and OUR best chance for the first black commander in chief of the united states.

Your hatred and your stupid comments and actions WILL do it.

BUT I AM SURE YOU will blame the right for it and not the true cause of a potential Obama defeat.

The left will be to blame.

I am and so many of my friends sick of being called stupid by the left because of THE LEFTS own stupidity, being called a hatemonger BY THE LEFT that they themselves use hate speech the USA is tiered of it.

You claim the right is stupid you are the ones who don't GET IT.

WE are tire of the lefts good intentions to help those in the middle and lower rungs of society but SO SICK OF THEM LOOKING DOWN THEIR NOSE AT THEM AT THE SAME TIME.

Your actions are more evident than your shallow words.

Can you take a hint from these TWO great Americans and CANT YOU GIVE IT A REST FOR AT LEAST ONE DAY??

Well done Obama. The truth of a mans nature always shines through. God bless America.

CNN your moderation of the posts is clearly biased. How could you post something from someone identifying himself as "John McCain" clearly putting something out that is in bad taste regarding Gov Palin .......once again.

This is clearly another sign of the desparation of Democrats trying to do anything to destroy this Lady.

To Missy –

You feel sorry for Palin because her son is leaving for Iraq today of all days?
You don't find it a tad suspicious that he's leaving during a presidential run and on 911?

the polls are dropping? HA, they don't even take into consideration the fact that many American's don't even use landlines anymore...they use cell phones which are not used in the polls! and it is quite clear that everyone without a landline (mostly the 18-29 year olds) are voting for obama. Keep relying on the polls for mccain to win, it just is not going to happen.

7 years anniversary and counting. If the GOP are as tough as they claim to be on national security, where's Bin Laden?

Please....

GOP = Party of empty campaign slogans
McCain = Panderer in chief
Palin = McCain's prop

There is a reason this fool is an EX senator.

Obama was asking for a job I bet.

It was refreshing to see the two Presidential candidates call a cease fire for this day of remembrance of our fallen fellow citizens. Surrogates and mouth pieces for both parties, however, haven't observed this truce. I can already see some saying Michele Obama is not as patriotic because she wasn't there in NYC but Cindy McCain was. Some may even say McCain showed more patriotism by bending down and placing his rose in the Reflecting Pool while Obama tossed his in. As Sen. Obama said, enough is enough. We are all good, patriotic Americans and we are observing this day with sadness and remembrance of those who fell.

WHER E WAS MICHELLE OBAMA?

Obama is a great leader and a true blue American... he once again reached across party lines to show to the world a united USA .....

Obama and Bidden 2008 & 2012!

According to the transcripts of the Gibson interview tonight, Palin thinks that Georgia is a member of NATO. How low has this country sunk? Do we even have quality control for those in power anymore??

WHER E WAS MICHELLE OBAMA?

Obama is a great leader and a true blue American... he once again reached across party lines to show to the world a united USA .....

Obama and Bidden 2008 & 2012!

Reagan

Being that Obama grandfather that raised him was white and served in military I am really surpised by your comment. Tell the truth your real name is Karl Rove!

I get tired of the libs talking about the failed policies of Bush. Pelosi and Reed have had 2 years to help the economy and the supply of oil, but we still have had no meaniful resolution and an inept Congress and Senate whose poll numbers are worse than Bush's. Unfortuneately most demoncrats react with emotion instead of thinking and using their brains. The only thing thats going to get drilled while Pelosi is Speaker is a lot of men in her home district.

Ain't no time to hate. We are ALL Americans and should stand, as one, against extremism.

If anyone saw the interview with Sarah Palin on ABC News on 9/11, tehre should be NO DOUBT taht this woman has no clue what she is doing. Charles Gibson should be ashamed to call himself a journalist for tip toeing around the question with Palin.

He did not push for answes to his questions, let Palin get away with not knowing what the BUsh Doctrrine is, accepting an answer on energy when asked if she were ready to run the country,

It was a pathetic interview, Palin was treated with kid gloves, and it was obvious taht part of the interview was edited.

Wake up America, this woman may become not only VP, but President.

Experience to me can also be translated as "stuck to the old ways" and in that respect I'd gladly extend my vote to a "less experienced" Obama if it meant a breath of fresh air about how we view things. Let's stop this habit of constant fear and stupid idea that Democrats cannot protect this country. That is ludicrous!

OBAMA|BIDEN '08!

I left my Flag Pin at Sara Palin apartment, sorry guys i will try and wear it tomorrow....USA....USA....USA...USA

hey voter dont blame republican for getting in the white house blame ohio

To hurriCAIN PALIN,

If America realizes anything soon, it will be amazing to me. Pride, pomp and overspending will continue to be her downfall, as it has been for many empires in the history of the world.

I wouldn't want to elect a hurriCAIN if it's anyting like a hurricane, since hurricanes cause billions of dollars of destruction and unnecessary death (kinda like the current administration has done).

It shows that obama want what is regarded as fair game in sports. A brother like politics, not do or die way of the past.

Obama is correct in that there should be at least one day when civility should be the word of the day. I am sure it was hard for McCain to face Obama knowing the lies and attacks that he has unfairly issued.

We don't need the Republican Party or McBush to get us out of the mess THEY got us into!

Simple.... are we better off today than when Bush came into office? I don't think so unless you are the wealthiest 5% of the population of this country.

McCain/McPalin are more of the same..... with lipstick!

Obama all the way!

Kind of reminds me of Trench Warfare during WW1 at Christmas. Tomorrow, the blood will run again.

Guess this will have to do in lieu of the 10 Town-Hall meetings that Obama broke his commtment on this summer.

Hope he shows up.

It looks like Ohio, Florida, Virginia and Missouri will be deciding the election. It will be interesting to see if the people suffering in those states stick with what got them there or step out and go a new direction.

Missy,

Don't feel sorry for Palin or her son.

He joined the military to beat a drug charge.

Reagan: And, Bush is helping Obama's grandfather to stay in those caves...

Finally a day without all this Hypocrisy and Lies. I vote that 2 months before the election there will be no more campaigning I am tired of it already. Good Luck to both candidates. Repugs and Demos quit acting like you are not scared because of this election. EVERYBODY IS ON PINS AND NEEDLES. Some people have shown there true Colors in this campaign season. God bless those souls that were lost on this day GOD BLESS.

Now I know why they are keeping palin under raps! I am watching her now, please john tell me this is a joke. This woman doesn't have a clue, she stumbled, and fluttered and stuttered and just had no idea about anything. Like come on mccain, it truly is just about you winning cause after listening to that painful interview I'm amazed she got elected gov. No way is she ready to be VP. No how, no way.

WE SIT AT HOME WATCHING THIS KNOWING THAT BUSH AND HIS ADMIN SHOULD BE CONVITED !!!
I WAS GONNA VOTE THIS YEAR BUT I CHANGED MIND ... WE CAN'T LET THEM GET AWAY WITH MURDER!!!!

From the picture above
Obama is telling Mccain that; look here man if u dont stop all these lies about me, I will beat the hell out of you
McCain said; i dare you, I'm just going to act like we are having a descent conversation

The 9-11 day off means nothing to one party when they have the likes of CNN running enquirer-esq slander for them. This network is showing itself to be a blatantly biased and uncredible news source lately.

Just looking at the recent articles and commentaries on the CNN website...

A. You look desperate.
B. Journalistic integrity? Yellow journalism?
C. The Bias is about as obvious as Al Jazeera
D. If you had any brains you would at least be more tactful in reporting on that god-awful "redneck" "far-right" "liar" etc. Sarah Palin.

Even the 9-11 article? Wow.

I wonder if the mods will post this. Most likely not.

Lets hope the better man wins!

Jack September 11th, 2008 6:28 pm ET

Funny – the only NEGATIVE comments here come from the obama group – that great UNITER! The guy of Change.

Hi Jack, you obviously paraphrased quite a few posts, including your own.

It's nice to see that some Republicans are trying to distance themselves from McCain and Palin. Common sense is prevailing or else they are just trying to save their own butts.

What we want to know though is about the Affair between Palin and her husbands ex business partner! Also, is it true that she supported survivalist groups in Alaska?

Molly September 11th, 2008 6:24 pm ET
"Too bad the obama group cannot just wish GOV Palin well and get on with the campaign. WHY all the trash talk of her????"

And of course, we have someone taking this time to trash talk about trash talking, and me trash talking about someone trash talking the trash talk. But I wonder why she would be so hypocritical to go and launch this trash herself, as if she is being nice.

(two negatives (hers x mine) make a positive, so this one by math equals a positive post)

Just like Obama, to reach across the aisle......
Obama/Biden 08

Reagan...your comment is a disgrace. Shame on you.

Kudos to both candidates. A little glimpse of the man McCain once was.

McCain always walks ahead of his wife...goes to show ya what he really thinks about women!

Bill Clinton ignored! Women.... Now he wan'ts to demoralise his own Wife... " I love you, Hillary. Waste more of your life.
She did not fail!!! Bill has to also get it right also... When you forget your Country, I wonder. But when you Ignore both your Spous and your Counrty? They atre not for Sale Bill, neither...

Oh God, my tv was on when palin came on and talked to Gibson. OMG! OMG! OMG! mccain is kidding me right? She knows NOTHING about NOTHING!

Bobby in FL, the present votes have been examined already. Try to keep up.

What present means, is not maybe...it signifies a soft no or a no with conditions. It's often used in the Illinois State Legislature.

Know of what you speak before you open your mouth.

Reagan, your too shallow

To hurriCain Palin,

I understand that you may not like the man or his policies but Obama is by far smarter than Mc Cain. Don't get it twisted.

Obama is the one who reached out and called McCain. He is the one that reached across the isle for the good of the country.
Not McCain. McCain couldn't say no or he would have been called on that.
People need to realize that.
Obama is for change that we can believe in.
I supported Hillary first, but I am very excited about Obama/Biden.
I always liked Biden and he is perfect.

Obama /Biden we love you .
Its Change We Can Believe In Yes We Can .

Lets hope there is only one McCain as 8 years is enough of McBush down spiral / The loss of over 4,000 Warriors and Iraq deaths / problems here and around the world / its not this time not on our watch .

In this 9/11 world of ours, and on this anniversary day, I think Bush and McCain have made us more safe, but we are still not completely safe. We need strong leaders, not some weaklings in the high office. McCain will protect us and our country and our values. I am not sure that Obama will.

In fact I doubt that Obama has the strength to do so.

By the way lipstick wearers, why do you let Obama dis you? Why didn't Obama say "well put a suit and tie on the pig and he is still a pig?" But no, Obama had to once again "dis" the females. He could have used male adjectives, but he had to put the dig in against women. I am shocked.

He didn't pick Hillary and even Joe said, “Make no mistake about this, Hillary Clinton is as qualified or more qualified than I am to be vice president of the United States of America. Let’s get that straight,” Biden said testily. And Biden also said, "Obama is not ready to lead."

Obama called us mid westerners "bitter." Seems he is getting to be quite the elitist and "uppity" and likes to dis us, Americans. I am shocked.

So you have one candidate that is giving a woman a chance at the Office of Vice President and on the other hand you have a candidate dising women. You choose.

I choose McCain.

All kudos to both of them for putting aside their differences for this.

Tomorrow they'll go back to attacking each other, and we'll go back to telling everyone how much both of their authoritarian ways are un-American.

Leave it to Obama to be the BETTER One and make the plan and IDEA of it. Obama is a MUCH better Planner and is much more thoughtful.

Cynthia, your so right. I am so glad that the comments weren't closed yet! Go to the end of the RNC convention. I almost felt for Cindy. She wanted to walk out with him and he moved her to the other side. When she wanted to walk up the stage with him he told her something and she ended up getting on Todd's side and Sarah and McCain walked up. I just thought about How Biden and Obama walked along side their wives. However it does make sense when you consider how he has voted in congress. Against equal pay, against the domestic violence bill.

You're right, that is Obama's grandfather!

I thought it was a great idea. I would have been even more impressed
if they could have scheduled Ms. Palin for Friday instead of her cashing on 9/11.
But that is right Friday is take out the trash day in DC
politics / maybe Monday then.

Obama has lots of good ideas. And he cares. McCain has ideas and cares too. But Obama takes it up another notch.

Glad to see the could work together on such a tragic day in history.

So women, did you know that when she was mayor of Wasilla, Wasilla was the only town that charged rape victims for their own forensic exams.

And when Biden tried to put through the Violence Against Women Act that made it illegal to charge those rape victims, McCain voted against it.

This is who some of you women have chosen to vote for? You must be kidding!

Very nice idea... I dont think it was imperative to give credit to Obama.. that part was not relevant in telling the story that they both payed respects to the victims of 9/11.

That being said

Obama '08

This is just another attempt for Obama to look good. OBAMA IS A FRAUD!!!

Americans should be proud of these two candidates.
They have different policies, but at the end of the day, they are brothers from the same land

First trooper-gate, then per diem-gate (cannot collect it while sitting at home check finance reg) and now email-gate with claims of executive privilege. Been there, done that, ENOUGH Palin ENOUGH.

When two opposing candidates can find a common cause and come together as American. This is democracy at its best, people.

What is it about "mutually agreed" that some of you here don't understand?
Trying to say that the junior Obama is the most forward thinking ;person by telling McCain that they should meet at the site?
Aren't you people tired of spin? Obama does not control McCain. Didn't you see how he was dogging McCain's steps while there today?

These two guys are both brave enough to make great sacrifices for this country. Both have served the country in different ways that are necessary to ensure peace and domestic tranquility.

I commend them for putting aside their differences for the good of the country, just like they will work together after the election.

just because obama reached out to mccain for this day doesnt

exactly make him bigger and smarter of the men. the battle is

experience(mccain) vs inexperience(obama), and soon america will

realize this.

Funny – the only NEGATIVE comments here come from the obama group – that great UNITER! The guy of Change.
Give it a rest! – This is a day for all Americans.

Yep, your right Republicans.

The polls show that Obama's numbers are dropping.

I guess all of you Republicans can just stay at home on election day since McCain has already won.

The rest of us will really appreciate it.

Thanks!

With the mess that the Republicans have created over the last 8 years how cn anyone trust these people with anything..that goes for the White House and the Congress...do we never learn.
No way Mc cain and Palin...no how...never
Change them all

OBAMA asking McCain for a joint visit.
A true Leader that OBAMA is.

United with stand, but divided we fall.

Unity in the United States of America.

Thank you LORD!!!

I just saw a rare film clip on AOL of POW John McCain's prison release. In this film clip he is not on crutches and can salute. Now what is 'cocky wacko' is I just heard on the RNC that he was never able to salute again after being a POW. Everything is 'cocky wacko' about the Republicans.

NObama wanted to invite Hugo Chavez.

NObama ran for the state legislature and he got elected. And nearly 130 times, he couldn't make a decision. He couldn't figure out whether to vote "yes" or "no." It was too tough.

He voted - he voted "present."

ROFL!

Come on people put away your hate and think for once. This day is not about your hate of each other because of parties.

I WAS THERE SEPT 11TH 2001 WORKING TO SAVE THE LIVES OF MY FELLOW AMERICANS.!!!!!!!!!

We have lost are way when we attack becuase we can not try and understanding each other.

On my web site photo page you will see people saving life not killing each other, that is CNN post this

Too bad some of you do not have the decency to share in the candidates show of unity on this day.

For the two candidates, good job.

The judgement of a gentleman, Barack Obama.

Well, Obama called McCain. You would think someone who is so in love with America would be thinking of reaching out and showing a united American front on this day.

But it was Obama who was thinking. Naturally!

while we are busy fighting wars, borrowing money to fund the wars and our economy is down the toilet, EU is adding countries to join them, shaking their pigging banks to buy American companies and beating us to the ATOM race.

Good job America! the loser is All of US... so choose a president with judgement, vision and patience...

McCain is a good man, but no vision. Palin is a good mom, but no vision.

Obama, i believe if you pick him, will Light America, Brighter than a Christmas tree.

It's time for change. We need to change our dirty underwears. We have had it for 8 years...

This comment is for tomorrow.

McCain says he knows how to find Osama Bin Laden and will find him when elected. So I guess if we don't elect him he will keep this knowledge to himself. So much for country first.

Better yet, why don't he tell Bush how to catch him right now and save all of our lives.

i feel sorry for Sarah Palin. Her son left for Iraq today. It had to be especially hard for her to let him go today of all days. Sept. 11 is hard on everyone We must pray for Sarah, she is such a warm and caring person. our prayers are with you Sarah. Amen.

Nice to have both candidates together just for the sake of all
America!
Too bad the obama group cannot just wish GOV Palin well and get on with the campaign. WHY all the trash talk of her????
She seems to handle pressure very well – look how well she did with all the media abuse of her – and her family – WHO here could handle such abuse and then give a great speech.
Everyone says that obama gives a great speech – and he does -
why can't you just give credit where credit is due!

Now why can't they be this civil with one another all the time? Tomorrow it will be back on like donkey kong. Let us enjoy this moment.

It's nice to know they can both be civil for 9/11.

I'm glad Obama thought of it and reached out. He has many brilliant ideas and once again proves to be someone who is willing to reach accross the party lines for the good of the nation.

Showing his leadership, again Barack knows the path to take...Well Done Future Mr. President.

Obama/Biden/08/12

God bless both of them!

But Obamao 08!

I notice that McCain did not wear the American flag lapel pin. Weren't they the ones who cast the lapel flag pin as a requisite, important symbol of patriotism? Seems to be another example of Republican double standards.

Why was Cindy there?

Great thing to see these two together.. indeed.

It was really great of Obama to extend the olive branch to his competition. Obama shows how his temperment and willingness to work with people and his ability to bring out the goodness in people could lead to a more inclusive world of politics and therefore more positive things will get done! Obama will make a great President to send abroad and this is just another example of how creative Obama is and this is why he will make a great President. God Bless America! Vote for Obama 08 and 2012.

Elizabeth: That is not Obama's grandfather. Obama's grandfather is hiding in a cave in Afghanistan.

Whoever suggested it is NOT a big deal!!
Too much of our time and energy is wasted on trivial matters. We should be spending 90% our attention should be on detail examination of policy differences between the two candidates. That is what will effect us ALL!! Not who did or did not initiate a meeting!!
America DEMAND MORE REAL INFORMATION, not filler.

go Chafee go!!!!!

Great idea Obama. It's nice to see McCain take a pause from the fight as well.

Quiet everybody.....Karl Rove must be sleeping. lol

It would appear that Obama is the one to reach across the divide. Especially, the day after that hateful Republican Nazi Convention ended.

Very Presidential, Mr. Obama.

This shows the true leadership of Barack Obama, and the fact that he reached out to have this joint apperance! I love my President!

Imagine that, Obama meeting his advisary with out pre-conditions.

Great move!!!

Tomorrow, ignore the Organ Grinder and his Trained Monkey…..remind everyone that "IT'S THE ECONOMY, STUPID…..all this other crap is nothing more than a Republican distraction to waste time and ignore the REAL issues.

Lou: I totally agree!!! As Obama said ALL Americans put their country first!!!! Let get back to what really matters...economy, healthcare, Iraq,women's rights, etc...!!!

Beaking news

Sarah palin will declare war to Russia if russia attacks another neighbor country.

McSame O8. The end of the world.

It's nice to see these two together to put the memories of fallen Americans first and Ground Zero and later in a forum to address National Service. Let us remember all the community organizers at heart that went to help after this tragic event as well.

Be aware that reports are coming in of "absentee ballots" being sent to Independent & Democratic voters in battleground states from the McCain campaign. I don't know if this is true, but if it is, it represents election fraud.
I say this to make people aware of election material being sent to them and make sure it is legitimate.

FACT: IF OBAMA CHOSE HILLARY, PALIN WOULD CHASING MOOSE AND EARMARKS IN ALASKA TODAY, NOT RUNNING FOR VP! ! !

It was not surprising to find out that Obama was the one who approached McCain about the joint appearance.. didn't think McCain would have thought of that idea. Bravo to Bloomberg for being instrumental in this endeavor. Today is a day to honor the fallen, not the political fight.

McCain forgot to wear his American flag lapel pin on 09/11?

I hope Republicans can finally shut up about silly things like lapel pins that have no effect on the issues facing the country.

It's good to see them acting as statesmen and not children in a school yard for a day.

"economic justice" is a term frequently used by Obama.

"Economic justice" simply means punishing the successful and redistributing their wealth by government fiat. It's a euphemism for socialism.

Where is Michelle Obama? With the young children? Why complain about Palin's family taking her away, when the potential first lady can not even make this important date?

I wish Mcain can be honorable all the time.

The Obama campaign needs to quit with the lame lies about Michelle. In Chicago huh? Cause her kids had their first week of school??
WELL WHAT THE HECK WAS SHE DOING AT A WOMEN'S FORUM IN INDIANA YESTERDAY??? And...she was ALSO IN OHIO AT A BAPTIST'S CONVENTION.

face it...the Obama campaign knew Cindy would be there..knew it would be awkward for Michelle not to be there with all the problems she has as far as how she feels on the country (9-11 Michelle??) and thought nobody would call them out on the lies they tell about she can't be there. Obama hiding his wife-he's ashamed of her and so is the campaign-or could it be something else??
Every week Michelle does campaign events on Wed and Thursday and stays overnight too! She had the girls with her in L.A. last week overnight.
guess this wasn't her thing.

Did I leave any out? Please feel free to continue the trend.

It's time for McCain/Palin to talk about the issues and bag looking for the "next cliche." And Palin had better start talking to the press before the press starts talking about her!

The press giveth and the press taketh away!

We Americans need to carefully consider our vote. This is no light matter and is a great civic responsibility. Get beyond the grousing and sniping and review the issues. And remember that we are not just electing our President, but the man who will represent our country to the rest of the world. Intelligence is not arrogance and arrogance is not intelligence.

Obama – born leader. Even McCain follows Obama's lead.

Remember, the study of atoms is our National Security. With it, you can developed advanced tools of weapons.

The Internet, microwave, MRI and everything else was developed through research at FermiLab.....

LIke I said, you can fight all you want in wars, but it aint going to help us with National Security if we LOSE the war in other areas that fuels the economy.....

It's time to give the rein to the Democrats..

No, that's not Obama's grandfather.

It's the ghost of politics past.

don't take shots at the candidates today

if they can be hands off so can everyone else.

if you can't support your candidate without taking a shot at the other candidate

it says a lot about your candidate and more about you

In talking to a friend the other day I was told she would vote for a true American

I asked what does a true American look like she didn't want to answer

I am one American who twice in the primaries of 2000 and 2008 has supported Senator McCain

I am supporting Senator Obama in the General

and although I am not with John McCain, I love the man

but I have to go a different way

This nastiness on both sides especially on the McCain side is very unfortunate because it says this is the only way to be president.

Poor McCain is getting too old to last 4 years as President...which leaves Private Ryan and many others to ponder the very real frightening thought of Sarah Palin running the White House.

Has anyone noticed the new commercials on border identifications? It's getting lost in all the hubbub.

I think this really shows the spirit of John McCain's speech when he said that he and Obama are both Americans and that is a bond no matter what they each might think.

I think both of them should be commended on this day for being able to put politics aside and focus on the remembrance of this tragic day for our nation.

To those of you that have taken this opportunity to smear either of these candidates, shame on you. People complain of divisiveness in our country, and you are the ones that feed this disease.

Today, America Remembers. Tomorrow it is game on again.

Again, the nasty comments from liberals. Do you people realize that Biden has as much of a chance to take over the presidency as Palin? not only "old" people die, or are you living in a dream world? If Obies ego had let him choose Hillary, we would not need to worry. Even Biden says she was the better choice! McCain/Palin 2008. I changed my lipstick to RED to irritate Dems.

Okay. But again Obama made a pledge and did not keep it.
It is stated they pledged to not do any political actions today and he had lunch and a press conference with Bill Clinton. How is that not a political action? What a jerk lair.

CNN is keeping Sarah Palin Honest... I'm keeping CNN, and the Dem's: "Honest". This Election will about, "Getting it Right"... This time!

Where was she today?? Oh, home sending her son off to fight the war of gods will.

I'm not gonna lie... I like both Obama and McCain for different reasons.... too bad THEY can't be President and vice president. I think they would compliment each other.... I supported McCain in 2000, but I can't realistically vote for putting another set of Repubs in office... things are just not going well.

I am starting to like that Obama fellow more and more. This just goes to show you the character of him. I wish him success in November because this country needs someone that will unite us even if we don't always agree on the issues!

Go Obama/Biden!

No Obama !!!! . I Have A Great Respect For Former President Bill Clinton , And Hillary , But Obama Is Too " Green " To be Considered For President Of The Unied States . Our Party Has failed Us . The Country Needs An Exprienced Leader , And Commamder In Chief Now ,

Democrat For McCain / Palin 2008

Obama Just Doesn't Have What Is Takes , Wish Hillary Would've Gotten The Nomination For Our Party !!!!

Am I the only one who noticed that Senator Obama wore a flag pin and McCain did not? . . . that is until a nice man in uniform noticed and pinned one on him. Hopefully that will get the "silly" people to stop with the petty stuff and get back to the issues.

this one really looks like dad and son.

About 15 min ago she just announced we may have to declare war on Russia. oh PLEASE lets put McCain in the White House so we can just put America out of the world's misery. These people exceed any definition of "crazy."

I'm really afraid for the safety and security of my country... I mean, when Democrats lose this election cycle (and make not mistake, Obama WILL lose), will the members of the ObamaCult riot and burn down cities and throw rocks at police and claim once again that the election was "stolen."

She was elected Alaska 's governor a little over a year and a half ago. Her previous office was mayor of Wasilla, a very very small town outside Anchorage. She has no foreign policy experience.

Palin is strongly anti-choice, opposing abortion even in the case of rape or incest.she supported an Alaskan Constitutional ammendment to ban abortions.
She is not only pro-life but is involved with — and even steered tax money toward — organizations that give misleading information on abortion.

She supported right-wing extremist & Nazi sympathizer, Pat Buchanan for
president in 2000.

Palin thinks creationism should be taught in public schools.
At one point, Palin supported mandatory education for teenagers about contraception, something that political insiders in both parties will find ironic in the wake of her 17-year-old daughter Bristol’s pregnancy and upcoming 'shotgun' marriage.

She's doesn't think humans are the cause of climate change.

She's solidly in line with John McCain's "Big Oil first" energy policy. She's pushed hard for more oil drilling and says renewables won't be ready for years. She also sued the Bush administration for listing polar bears as an endangered species—she was worried it would interfere with more oil drilling in Alaska.
How closely did John McCain vet this choice? He met Sarah Palin once at a meeting. They spoke a second time, last Sunday, when he called her about being vice-president. Then he offered her the position.
She says that God told her to build an oil pipeline.
She thinks the Iraq War is Gods Christian war against Islamic beliefs.
She us under investigation fo abuse of power after only1 1/2 years in office.
She clearly comitted numerous documented abuses of power as Mayor of that very very small city.that she appologized for as "mistakes".
While a Mayor She fired the city’s librarian because she would not remove books from the shelves that Palin felt were against her views. Can You say Censorship?

She admitted that she does not even know what the V.P. does. She's just a 'soccer mom'.
Palin has an operating business license for a marketing company whose name — Rouge Cou — was is supposed to be a French version of “redneck.”
Palin’s Management Style is to Bully and Demand Political Loyalty. Palin’s tenure as mayor of Wasilla was marred by tremendous staff turnover, first when she fired most of the top staff — including the city’s librarian — because she questioned their loyalty, and then later when staff quit because of her micromanaging style. Wasilla even lost the opportunity to hire a police chief because he said the job seemed too political.

Obama looks very presidential. That was a wonderful idea he had to meet with McCain on this day. Great men generate great ideas.

Glad to see Cindy made it... guess Michelle was busy at church or something.

I no longer have any respect for Jhon Mccain he is dishonnorable who panders to his military service for political gain.

Positive

This the closest that McCain is going to get to Obama. Come on people wake up. If you think that McCain is going be an different from Bush, then we deserve to be in this mess we're in now. "My friends", be open to change and let all your differences aside. 8 years of Republicans is good enough for me, lets see what this man (Obama) has to offer. McCain doesn't even want to talk about the issues anymore because theres nothing to talk about. Instead, he'd rather ride the coat tail of Sarah Pailin. But that will only last for another week if not sooner.

Where in the heck is Karl Rove?......Oh, we'll hear him criticizing and whinning tomorrow.
GO OBAMA!

I almost feel sorry for McCane . . . . . I think that he was basically a decent, (yet flawed) man. His problems stem from that fact that he feels like he's OWED the position of POTUS. I think he feels it's his due for time spent in captivity. I also think he's seeking a sort of validation.

That being said, he's essentially signed a deal with the devil (Bush, Cheaney, Rove) to make it happen. Now he's just become their tool.

so where was Michelle?????

Where is the PIN of McCain...?
Or No body dare to ask him this question? Only Obama could be tortured for not wearing a pin

I'm so proud it was Obama's idea and it took place. On a day like that, America should stand together as one, no matter what skin color, religion, or party.

But Obama's idea was one more evidence of his greatness and his judgment.

Obama 08!

mcbush same same old carl rove politics...

John McCain and Sarah Palin are repeatedly deceiving, manipulating, and flat-out lying. And polls are showing that some of those lies are convincing voters.
Palin says she opposed the "Bridge to Nowhere"—when in fact she fully supported it. McCain says Obama wants sex-ed for kindergartners—when he voted for a bill to protect them from sexual predators.

OH MY GOD give it a rest already.

Have You No Sense of Decency????

You can not help yourselves from tarnishing a truly touching and reverent moment can you???

The hating and bashing of McCain is here too??????

Obama and McCain are coming together, at least for one day.
Learn from their example.
IT IS GOOD for AMERICA

This is a wise decision on both sides.

It is sad that some of you try to politicize it in this blog.
It tells me that you don’t even understand the symbolic nature of this decision.

Thank you John McCain, Thank you Barack Obama.

A nice moment for our country no matter who you support.

New Polls show Tight Races??? And yther is Barack Obama! Sparing??? you opened the window CNN1 But my comment was ignored... Why do I care so much!!! Ask yourself that question..

Brothers in arms these two.

I couldn't tell them apart.

Are they twins?

Where's Michelle? Maybe this isn't one of those moments?

Good. It would be nice if this level of civility and respect could continue for the remainder of the campaign.

I am saddened by this "today we pause, but tomorrow the gloves are off" talk. It reminds me of the ad that McCain did the day of Obama's acceptance speech.

Truth is, neither side should have to be so ashamed of their behavior that they need to call a truce on a day like this.

Talk about the issues, explain what you want to do, and let the voters decide which they prefer. Instead we get ads full of false outrage about lipstick-wearing pigs and sex ed for kids.

McCain has often talked about "honor." Let's see that honor. Drop the fake hyperbolic indignation. Talk to us as adults talk to adults. Talk to us with respect. Don't try to scam us. Don't try to trick us into voting for you. Put the interest of your country above your self interest.

Another example of Obama's reaching across the aisle, heh? Good for him! And McCain managed to keep him promise not to campaign today, once he left Pennsylvania, after campaigning. The man has no scruples left, it seems.
What this day reminds me of is that 9-11 opened wide the door for Bush to abuse the Constitution. A sad day indeed for America.

I'm glad to see this =) and BTW I agree with the fact that both Obama and McCain love your country, lets talk issues for the next 2 months please

Obama's leadership and judgment are clearly visible as he invites McCain to join him at ground zero. these are the qualities we need in our next president to resolve the ills of the last eight years. our country is essentially insolvent under G. Bush – we need a knew CEO with the talent and capacity to bring our country back to solvency. that can only be Obama – McCain is in denial relative the condition of our beautiful United States of Amercia.

And that one is Obama!!!!! How stately and fitting of his persona that he should reach across the aisle to his opponent and find common ground on such an iconic day of poignant American memories. It is the dawning of a new day and Barack brings a new horizon where our country can work as one nation under a divine power!!!!

Now I just wish I could vote. Americans, it is not only your right but also your civic duty to have a care about the future of your nation and VOTE.

PS. VOTE OBAMA/BIDEN 08

WOW

I'm impressed with Senator Obama, if indeed he initiated this meeting at ground zero. I beleive he has earned my vote.

why cant just get along like this two hahahahah. mccain is a crook no matter what

God---–bless--–Obama for --organizing this --meeting------–Good--Idea --from-----obama

In the picture, he's telling McCain I'm going to whoop you're butt!

Obama/Biden '08

Mccain looks like he is running away from obama most of the time. He looks so old next to obama, he can be his granpa.

we need a young, smart, noble president!

I am glad that Obama suggested they come together on this day. We all are americans and thats what people need to remember. 9/11 should not be used in any policital campaign. It would be down right wrong and shamefull.....

Why are all your photos of today's appearance at ground zero all only McCain? They were both there. I'd like to see some of Obama.

All talk, no substance. We knew Obama would fall in the polls as soon as they took his teleprompter and prepared speeches away. The man can't give a straight answer. He talks just like a lawyer. You don't know where he stands on anything because he talks out of both sides of his mouth. UUH UUH UUH.
The former senator that called Gov. Palin a cocky wacko. What kind of idiots are we sending to Washinton. It seems that a lot of Obama supporters talk like this man. SCARY!

GOD BLESS THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.

I'M VOTING OBAMA/BIDEN 2008

Palin approved a state job for a friend and campaign aide with whom she shared a land investment, financial records and interviews over the past two weeks show.
She hired a former lobbyist for a pipeline company to help oversee a multibillion-dollar deal with that same company.

And she sent campaign e-mails on her city hall account while serving as mayor of Wasilla — conduct for which she later turned in an oil commissioner on ethics charges.

My sig indicates my vote, but as of now, they BOTH just made me proud.

Under one Flag we shall Unite, we may attack each other in our goal to achieve a better america, but you best beware, we DO and SHALL stand together when the time is at hand!

This just shows Obama's patriotism and willingness to set aside differences. We need his leadership so badly.

Come on people. These guys are POLITICIANS. Do you really think they hate each other as much as they try to lead us to believe? Get serious.

Let's see if Obama gets ANY credit from the media for this bipartisan meeting. I heard CNN mention earlier that it was a "nice" idea, and wondered who thought of it. In fact, thinking maybe Bloomberg was the Orchestrator.

This shows that Obama can reach out, and I don't think he did it for political reasons. I think this is where his heart really is..

I think Obama is a great man, and WILL BE our next president.

That fossil looks ancient next to Obama.

Of course Obama reached out initially, he not only talks the talk, he walks the walk. He is a uniter. I do have a question though, if palin isn't ready to campaign by herself, how is she ready to be vice pres?

Enough !!!

One of the planes went down in PA... so it makes sense he might go there...

How do these people do it? I've got to hand it to Obama. He's taken so many low-blows and suffered so many outrageous lies hurled by the McCain campaign. Yet, he manages civil discourse with his attacker. Obama's a much better person than I and I hope he will be our next President.

Obama is exactly kind of leadership that we need, A unifier!

THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT: UNITY. . .

OBAMA, YOUR THE GREATEST!

OBAMA/BIDEN '08-'12

I meant hello, not hell. sorry. Oh, and by across the street, I mean literally across the street. In the office that says "Armed Forces" over top of it.

It's good that they take a rest for a day before McCain goes on to win the election

... and a moment of mutual respect ruined by the childish rants of Elizabeth in Texas and Dee jay thanls to their juvenile attacks on a day when even McCain and Obama managed to put politics aside.

If only this kind of mutual admiration and respect for the people of America was followed the other 364 days of the year.

I'm sure Republicans will disagree with this, but suggesting this idea to McCain was a very "Presidential" thing to do considering that both camps are saying it is about change and reaching across the aisle.

Does no one find it just a little bit of a coincidence that Palin's son is 1- going to Iraq now, when they are supposed to start withdrawing troops slowly ( as per Barack Obama) and 2- leaving on 911. As a man or woman to use her son as a photo op is despicable.

As a 44 year old white soccer mom of 3, I find Sarah Palin disgusting.

Glad to see they came together for this. I am hopeful they (and the rest of the country) can reach across party lines in the future.

Obama supporters:

The best thing you can do right now to help Obama with the election is to go to his website and find out what you can do to help get people registered to vote.

You can also sign up to help get out the vote on November 4th.

Rather than arguing with right-wing bloggers posing as independents, we should be spending our time focused on what matters: November 4th.

Don't be distracted.

Obama/Biden '08!

On this day when you reflect on 911 – may I ask you people – what did you feel and do that day – were you not all scared, did you not all run for cover, were you not all crying (not knowing when the next attack or from whom it was coming), were you not all fearful; then please, and I do mean please, think what the Iraqi people (who had nothing to do with 911) have been feeling for over 2000 days (not one day), 2000 days and they are still scared, still crying, still fearful, and still afraid of the next attack. Remember this when you want to continue with a Government of war pushers ( Bush & Company, McCain and Palin). For heavens sake people choose correctly – the rest of the World is counting on you.

I am very very afraid because what happens in the U.S.A. has major ramifications throughout the World.

Concerned Citizen.

My heart goes out to many who lost love ones on this date. It remains a difficult day for me.

God Bless America and all its people.

This should be a call to both parties to stop the juvenille behavior both sides have been engaged in recently.

However we all know that that is simply a pipe-dream.

I applaud both gentlemen on putting political differences aside, if only for 1 day.

In the end, We are all in fact Americans!

Obama/Biden 2008-2016

Probably we would not have had 911 if Bush had not used poor judgement and given the Afghan govt 43 million dollars in may 2001 to fight drugs...which they instead used to supply the taliban army and attack us. Talk about a complete lack of judgement and McCain the Insane voted with him. I cannot believe how easily brain washed and silly anyoine would be to even vote for McInsane.

good Choice to go there together. I pray for all Familys of the Victims. God bless America.
But People, please dont forget the Movie Fahrenheit 9/11. Please dont forget what happens really.

I mean I know this is supposed to be a day of reflection...but does McCain look like he will make it to November.

You know what, 9/11 should be this way for every presidential election. I think both candidates should NOT campaign on this day, and just come together.

When the attack happened the enemy didn't care whether we were Republicans or Democrats, or even American. This reminds everyone in the heat of the election that we are all Americans, and citizens of the world.

Kudos to Barack and John.

America 08

Let's remember that both parties need one another.

Can we all agree, well said. Let's all agree to discuss politics and not lipstick.

Finally,

An article that doesn't make reference to America's "favorite VP Candidate" with the initials S.P.

It would seem that Obama has many good ideas even before the election to reach out across the hall...

However it would also appear that Rove has a lot of bad ideas...regardless of being payed so much money for thinking up so many bad ideas...

I know good ideas are priceless.

Obama-Biden '08

Hmm you know I once thought Obama was all for show...but now that I am starting to see more of him, I must say I am impressed.

On the other hand McCain has greatly dissapointed me this election season. I have felt like I was in an alternate universe where the McCain I am seeing now could not possibly be the same man I so respected a few years ago.

I am not completely sold on Obama but McCain you have completely lost me...

Obama you have only a few days to convince me...let me see what you can do!

I find it funny, that on September 11th, with all that's going on, and how both sides wear there pride for the military on their sleeves, not one candidate decided to pay a visit to any military personnel while on their trip to NYC. Yes, we are here, and for Senator Obama, We were right across the street from Pres. Clinton's office. We heard the cheers, and were all hoping you would stop by and say hell. Alas, that never took place.

WHY IS CINDY ALWAYS IN THE SPOTLIGHT

Go home u wanna be super star

Now THAT is reaching across the aisle! Barack made the first effort to show unity even during this important political season!

GO Obama Biden!

That's why I love this country! The Republican Fighting Machine is battery-operated by the Democrats. One cannot live without the other.

This picture is too funny, it's like John McCain is saying "you need to talk into my good ear boy, I can't hear anything out of this ear".... ha! ha!

McShame is such a panderer; I found it interesting that, in order to pay tribute to 9/11 victims, he chose to go to battleground state of PA instead of the Pentagon. Regardless of his shameless pandering, we'll let him know that 8 is ENOUGH.

This was a very positive idea, and I have nothing but good thoughts for both of the candidates. Today is a day of peace and reflection.

America 08

A LEADER INDEED OBAMA ASKING MCCAIN FOR A JOINT VISIT.

There can only be one...

McCain 08'

Is that Obama's grandfather?

Let us remember that we are ALL Americans, regardless of party affiliation

(and yes Alaska, this includes you too...)

Does anyone notice how Senator McCain just walks ahead of his wife getting off planes, on stage, etc. Senator Obama, President Bush and other at least cup their wives arms when walking?

I am glad that Obama asked for the meeting. This shows the kind of man he is. A uniter and not a divider. A man that loves his country so much he tries to bring people together than tear them apart. That's the American spirit.

Dos'nt McCain look look like a Dried Prume...

lol

When the propaganda of politics fades away, we are all Americans.

I congratulate both of them!

Democrat or Republican – all of this does not matter to the fallen in the 9-11 attack.

Today, we unite for the love of America. And in rememberance for the victims-families of 9/11.

However, tomorrow the gloves come off........

Glad to see the childish low ball has taken a break to respect the victims.

Can we all agree that BOTH candidates love this country? Let's focus on the policies and vote with our brains. They are both patriotic, so let's decide who should be President based on who will best fix the mess Bush's failed policies created for us.

Nice to have one day without them slamming each other...

Although the boards sure didn't take the day off...

I'm not surprised it was Obama that reached out. I'm glad McCain followed Obama's leadership in this effort and met with him in NYC today.

It was a good idea.

This was a good thing for both to do- Pause in a moment in time because this is the moment, the moment when we need to decide the path our country continues on.
