WASHINGTON (AP) — Republican Sen. John McCain says he's ready to work President-elect Barack Obama on economic and national security issues.

McCain, who lost the presidential election to Obama, says there will be some areas of disagreement. But he says the nation's problems are too big for political divisiveness. The Arizona senator says people want the government to unite and work together.

Also:

In a television interview Sunday, McCain also declined to endorse his former running mate, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, if she decides to run for president in 2012. In his own words, McCain said, "My corpse is still warm."

McCain is an ass.

McCain plans to continue to poke conservatives in the eye.

[muawiyah]

McCain took the opportunity to tout even more law driven abusive reforms, including reforming the way markets work, Congress budgets, Defense Department plans, and so on.

Some old CR*P.

This is simply more fascism, which we know doesn't work and leads everyone to a bad end.

He's gotta' renounce that stuff; not peddle it.

[rabscuttle385]

Okay, seriously. McCain must be defeated in 2010...he’s a massive liability to the Republicans at this point.

[Will88]

Anyone who thought they disliked McCain before, just wait.

The guy is contemptible.

[SolidWood]

That might be correct, but: In his own words, McCain said, "My corpse is still warm."

This means he sees his endorsement as a drag for others.

I called this a month ago. McLame the RINO can not wait to be the Press buttboy again. Reaching out and selling us out.

[svcw]

And we are surprised.............no!

[EagleUSA]

McCain is an ass.
:::::::::
Understatement. She was the only thing STRONG AND GOOD about his campaign. HE ran a pathetic campaign, weak and slow, and he lost.

It is totally revealing of the symptoms of the trouble the Republican Party is in. It is a mess, and a big part is due to RINOS like McCain.

McCain pledges to work with Obama on tough issues

Translation: If you can bump that Biden guy from the VP slot, I'm available, willing, wanting.

[Farmer Dean]

Ah yes,the real John McCain,the the one that I loathe.Desperately tugging on Obama’s zipper in an attempt to appear to be relevant.

[Sybeck1]

And of course this means amnesty. Now while thousands of Americans are losing jobs, they want to make the labor pool much bigger, so we fight for jobs with illegals. I'm sorry, but after a couple years of Obama, any potato picking job might be all we can get.....

[TribalPrincess2U]

Oh-ho-ho... McLame is on my list for sure now.
Take that warm corpse off the grill, he’s DONE.

There are no "tough" issues - there's just "tough" political consequences.

And if McCain takes those on, he helps the dems and hurts conservatives. What a jerk.

[Cringing Negativism Network]

Failed presidential candidate John McCain, is exactly where he wants.

This seems to be what he ran for. This seems to have been his goal all along. It’s even clearer, with the abject weeniehood with which he’s interacting with Sarah Palin (who was the only reason his candidacy wasn’t among history’s worst electoral wipe-outs)

He’s now the deciding vote in his place, the Senate. He can move mountains and change the world, every time he votes against Republicans.

Bet he’s never been happier.

[70th Division]

Hay John! Why don’t you and Powell hold hands and walk off into the sunset and get the hell out of the Republican party. We will play the theme song.

[GOPJ]

There are no "tough" issues - just "tough" political consequences.

McCain needs to grow up. Senior citizens who act like rebellious teenagers embarrass themselves..

[LiberConservative]

And we were feeling all warm and fuzzy when the Senate didn't go ‘Rat filibuster proof. McCain will fix that.
