Barack Obama actually said...

"Just going to have a good conversation about how we can do some work together to fix up the country and also to offer thanks to Senator McCain for the outstanding service he's already rendered."

"Is it a hint of how Barack Obama's planning to govern?"

"we need to do this if not just for just optics to show the country that we can give money directly to homeowners and that in itself would make a difference."

"Make no mistake; this is the greatest economic challenge of our times. And while the road ahead will be long and the work will be hard, I know that we can steer ourselves out of this crisis."
