OBAMA and McCAIN Unite For Bipartisan Convention
Boys 4 Life
This is good sign for whats to come under President-elect Obama!
After praising McCain, Obama urged everyone to take the bipartisan dinner past “just an inaugural tradition” and turn it into a “new way of doing the people’s business in this city.”
“We will not always agree on everything in the months to come, and we will have our share of arguments and debates,” Obama said. “But let us strive always to find that common ground, and to defend together those common ideals, for it is the only way we can meet the very big and very serious challenges that we face right now.”
On the eve of his inauguration, the president-elect even made time for a joke.
“I’m here tonight to say a few words about an American hero I have come to know very well and admire very much — Sen. John McCain,” Obama said as he opened his speech. “And then, according to the rules agreed to by both parties, John will have approximately 30 seconds to make a rebuttal.”

I was a strong McCain supporter, but I’m looking forward to see Obama succeed and the fact that he and MCcain have come together, even if it is just a “tradition” is a good sign. I think that with MCcain’s moderate views he will be an immediate asset to Obama….and it wont hurt the apporoval ratings either!
The inauguration was awsome to see even on T.V. I was talking to my sister who is there on the phone and the network crashed because of all the people(2,000,000 i heard)
What was everyones favorite part of the ceremony?? Other than Obama’s speech …
I agree with your points, J. I liked how Yo-Yo Ma rocked out with his cello. I thought he might start playing with no hands and/or with his teeth.
