One senior McCain adviser said he suspects Sen. McCain will use Monday's meeting to press Mr. Obama not to withdraw U.S. forces precipitously from Iraq. The adviser added it would be "very damaging" to Mr. Obama to have Sen. McCain "out there as a critic" on national security and foreign policy.
It strikes me that the aide to Sen. McCain did not get the memo - Obama's view on national security prevailed during this election cycle. The country agrees with him on both Iraq and Afghanistan.
Now, I am impressed that this meeting is happening so quickly and think that this has a lot to do with issues such as energy/environment in particular as well as immigration reform further down the road - the country needs bipartisan work on these issues and Obama is clearly building support for such action.
