Old rivals Obama, McCain discuss working together

A fierce campaign less than two weeks behind them, President-elect Barack Obama and Sen. John McCain met Monday in Chicago to talk about ways to work together on government reform, fiscal responsibility and boosting the economy.
It was one of the earliest post-election meetings to take place between presidential rivals in recent history and reflected a desire on the part of both men to show bipartisanship as the nation confronts the challenges ahead.
By meeting with McCain so quickly after the election, Obama demonstrated both magnanimity and practicality.
Despite gains by Democrats in Congress, the future president will still need Republican support for many of his initiatives and McCain can be more helpful as a friend than a foe.
