McCain and Obama represent an era where American politicians could disagree and yet have mutual respect
-
Senator McCain asking him to speak at his funeral shows how much respect him and President Obama had for eachother. An amazing speech.
-
"We are Americans first, Americans last, Americans always. Let us argue our differences. But remember we are not enemies." Spoken by John McCain at 2004 Republican National Convention. A man of wisdom and integrity. RIP John McCain
-
When I heard McCain tell that lady, no no, Barack is a good man, THATS WHEN I CAME TO TEARS!
-
Ladies and gentlemen! This is a real Republican! Who ran against President Obama and lost! Who differed in thought! Yet still respected him and ASKED him to speak of him! He trusted him! This is how a real man behaves. With dignity and self respect. Honorable and respectful even in defeat. Because he understood that an America united, is better than half of America and divided.

He made Cindy smile at one of the most difficult events in her life. đ
-
John McCain knew his eulogy would be spot on by the smartest person in DC. He knew it would be sincere.
-
This is how a real President acts like dignity and respect⊠I could listen to him all dayâŠ. Damn I miss him
-
That Barack Obama can find the words to make a grieving widow and son laugh just proves how precious and thoughtful he is.
-
Regardless of politics, Obama nailed this speech with respect, dignity and a depth of human compassion that is rarely found.
-
Beautiful speech. I'm a hardcore Republican, but this was an honor second to none. Obama speaks so eloquently and concisely. Much respect to him and RIP John McCain.
-
For a man to ask another man to speak at his funeral, that is the utmost of respect!
-
they were political rivals, but they were true gentlemen and patriots.
-
To all of us here in America whether Blue or Red......this is how a POTUS suppose to sound like. A man with integrity honoring another man with integrity. This is Patriotism.
-
A time when you could disagree yet still respect each other.
-
I really miss this man as president.
-
I can barely recognize what our beautiful country has become. A time when compromise wasnât a dirty word.
-
Honorable people respect one another regardless of race, color, creed or political affiliation.
-
Love or hate him Obama is one of the smartest presidents to ever live. This man's level of intelligence level is beyond measure. His father probably regretted the fact that he was not present in his son's life, but he created a masterpiece human being.
-
Never forget that McCain was the deciding vote in whether or not they would repeal Obamacare. And he voted not in favor of repealing, only one of three republicans to do so. When asked why he didn't vote yes with the other republican part members, McCain said "I don't work for the Republican Party. I work for the people of Arizona and the people of America, and taking away health coverage for 600,00 people would not be helping them." We need more John McCain's and Obama's in politics.
