That was a very low point for McCain. It came out of nowhere and really showed him to be a mean-spirited person. I bet he regrets it if he has to face Obama

McCain's ltr: unprovoked, mean & disrespectful. Condescending, too. Obama's response appropriate. Shows the differences and doesn't put McCain in a very good light.

Wow! What was that? No wonder Obama is having such a run. Mr. McCain came across as condescending, and as he called Mr. Obama, disingenuous, not to mention confused.

Yes I would say that it is interesting that the old guard always seems to resent new blood and instead of reaching out and helping the new senators with a handshake and saying come on up its nice up here, they play king of the mountain and kick them back down. They were both sent there by their constituents with the same credentials.

I think this does show a meanesss in Senator McCain and I don't think he can be trusted. This seemed to come out of nowhere. Sen. Obama is the bigger person and handeled it with dignity and respect.

I am sure there is more that went on here. Once again the American people are led by what the media has brought forth. Maybe we will see if there is more here than meets the eye, if and when these two meet in a head to head presidential run.

hmmm.... strong stuff indeed, something Obama did obviously REALLY ticked off McCain.
Between McC & anyone else tho (incl. Obama, i guess), who is the one more likely to be party-pressured & strongarmed into something, anything; let alone likely to succumb to pressure; or to political game-playing, for that matter.
Not impossible, but rather hard to believe it's JMcC...

Really displays a contrast in diplomacy ... makes you wonder how McCain might deal with other countries, when he has trouble dealing with his own colleagues.

Wow! That's pretty pathetic on McCain's part, and he's a man I've generally had respect for. That's extremely disappointing.

They're trying to make McCain look as being "strong" and able to beat Obama. Barack Obama is a man of integrity. If anything, McCain's the partisan. I'm a Republican and would never support McCain.

The reason for the letter was because Obama took a lobbyist as chairmen of his campaign thus betraying the very reforms he swore he was interested in making. Funny how facts like that get left out.

I would take the experience and geniusness of Sen McCain to say to Sen O'Bamna that "our country needs
a leader" not someone who waffles like you. If our
Country is ignorant enough to elect a liberal Democrat
to the White House, shame on US! Go back to the Clinton's because you will all sleep with the fish!

I believe he was testing Obama. Trying to get a feel for him and because he is not willing to play the game as usual, that is what disappoints him.

This exposes McCain as a Dr. Jeckle, Mr. Hyde type personality that should be revealed to the American people for exactly what he is: A Wolf In Sheep's Clothing! McCain is definitely not the person that should be leading our country! Obama is the real deal! He sincerely wants to put forth his best efforts for the American people. McCain comes across as jealous hater trying to quash the illumination of a rising star. "Dreams come in all sizes, but cream always rises to the top!!!" Obama is the cream of the crop. Go BAMA!

Oh, please!! All who still think this country is in high standing (diminishing economy-our dollar is worth less than canadian for christ sake, lack of care for enviromental crisis, STILL claiming War on Irag is needed and sending much needed $$$ and our boys&girls, dads&moms, sons&daughters to defend it) is ludicrous. It was obvious McCain was out for his own position and domination....Enough said.

I guess this exchange between these two senators underscores the age of McCain. If he really wants to continue serving his country, he should just drop out of the running for the presidency. America has had seven years of being embarrassed and damaged by its slickly packaged chosen leadership; we can't afford a continuation of that sort of blatant incompetence in the White House.

I think that both men (boys) were trying to pull a fast one on each other and they both showed who and what they are. One's too old, and the other is to young. Boys will be boys who will play their political games anyway. We'd better get someone with some smarts,experience,etc. with the Bush mess hitting them right in the face as soonas they take office. VOTE DEMOCRAT -REPUBLICANs made this mess.

Interesting because it really reflects on the lack of interest in solving the problem. Really is a reflection of ego and self interest. Politics as usual, slimey slithering into postion of power at the cost of the taxpayers. Ugh!

If you read Obama's letter, it is clear that he is trying to use the issue to gain partisan advantage. Why else would he talk of a task force when it was already clearly arranged that this process should work its way through the standard committee process. Obama clearly broke his word to McCain, and McCain responded forcefully.

I would hope and expect that he take this tact within his own party and with other countries if elected.

Ask yourself, has McCain ever sought partisan advantage - or even credit for that matter? No, and he is right to slap Obama in the face for trying this obvious end-around. If Obama was innocent as far as intention, at least this woke him up to Reid's using him - Reid is always seeking partisan advantage.

Obviously a great insight...I am interested to see that Obama does indeed talk the 'change', 'bipartisan' talk, but actually brings in his own agenda. That is the very thing that we see all over Wahington. That makes me realize that he is not at all transparant - he says what you want to hear. Now I think we should ALL demand to know what his true intent is for this country before we put him in the position to unveil his agenda from the White House lawn.

What is wrong with being mean. Did McCain hurt Obama's feelings, how sad. Maybe Barack should not of gone to the meeting to spy on the bipartisan bill if he was already making a dem version. I applaud John McCain, he has always been honest and forthright to people and he expects the same in return.
