McSame looks tiny in that huge chair. If he had a tail, it would have been between his legs. Need to seem manly...talk about football..... :P

I had the same thought - he looks tiny - and relatively meek and harmless now. And Obama looks like the President (finally, after 8 years someone who looks and acts like the President - can't Bush and Cheney ask for an early check-out time?).

OMG! Same here! I watched the video and thought he seemed like a little, broken man sitting in the chair like he just got in trouble for something.
Speaking of Bush/Cheney check out time, I"m really hoping that when they leave on the helicopter, I want there to be hundreds of thousands of people cheering and saying goodbye, with a few hand gestures of 'good riddance' as well. Can you imagine thousands of boos as he leaves and then cheers as the helicopter flies away? Hahahaha!!

You were obviously not there for the Clinton 93 inauguration.
Picture this: Washington, DC... January 1993 (yes, I'm chanelling my favorite Golden Girl)...
hundreds of thousands of people, all cheering and screaming for newly sworn in President, Bill Clinton... suddenly, everyone turns their head over to the presidential helicopter carrying former president Bush Sr. - Everyone chanted in unison: Na, Na, Na, Na... Na, Na, Na, Na... Hey, Hey, Hey... Goodbye... while other groups chanted: Hit the road jack, and don't you come back no more, no more, no more... hit the road jack.. and don't you come back no more
Who knew I'd be chanting the same to Bush Jr. 15 years later

He looks like he's trying to contain a particularly rancid fart from escaping his fossilized old ass.
Obama's body language speaks volumes. Relaxed, in charge, generous. Maybe he'll offer him the post of "Food Taster" in his new administration.

No wonder. After all, what job is McCain temperamentally suited for in an Obama administration? A cabinet secretary is, by definition, required to be a team player, and McCain has always been his best as a m-------k (I can't write out that whole word one more time; I'm sick of hearing it).
And it's because of his m------k history that he's unlikely to challenge McConnell for minority leader. His fellow GOPers don't like him enough to ditch Mitch for his sake.

That is just weird...why do they need to sit in huge chairs in front of cameras like that? I'm assuming that they met in private before or after that, but this part seems like meaningless theater.

OT: I love this site, but honestly the Net Roots have done a shitty job getting the story out there about Saxby Chambliss.
He had a fake "bum knee" got 5 student deferments in Vietnam. Is running against a person who despite a case of polio forced his way into service in Vietnam. And of course called a triple amputee veteran unpatriotic.
Where is the Net Roots on this. This Senate Seat should be the main focus from now until runoff election day.

It is all sort of "Show and Tell" but I do think Obama is trying to let all Republicans know he intends to be a President that is for all . . . not just Democrats. He's mending fences in hopes of cooperation in his endeavor for a better America.

McCain is just not alert and sharp as is necessary for an Administration job. It was an important, and symbolic gesture on Obama's part. It was just "showing up" on McCain's part. Now McCain can go retire, and we won't ever have to remember his disgusting, dirty campaign against Obama again. Oh, McCain can keep busy stroking Lieberman's ego!

"So uh, sorry about that whole socialist, terrorist, not ready thing. And for Palin, especially for Palin. I hope that you will give me ample opportunity to grandstand so I can bathe in the stink of my maverickyness in front of the media again." "What's that John? I can't hear a dead man speak."
Obama is considering McCain for the HEAD CUSTODIAN job at the WH.
Unfortunately, McCain is not up to the job.

I can't wait to hear Lindsey Graham's suckup spin on the meeting. It's a win/win for Obama. If McCain tries to make political hay and rejects any offers of cooperation Obama made, he'll look even smaller/meaner and prove that he is the stubborn partisan he has claimed not to be. And Obama can say he reached out to McCain and lived up to his promise to try and be a president for ALL Americans. If McCain can agree to work with Obama, he'll by inference be the defacto leader of the Republican Party. It's better to be the big fish in the minority pond rather than just one of many insignificant bottom dwelling suckers.

I know this is off topic, but this is very important news regarding Prop 8.
The state of California officially asked the California Supreme Court on Monday to review the constitutionality of Proposition 8, passed by voted earlier this month.
The proposition bans marriages between homosexual couples.
“The profound importance of the issues raised by Proposition 8 warrants that this matter be reviewed and promptly resolved by the California Supreme Court,” says California Attorney General Edmund Brown Jr.
In a set of briefs filed with the court today, Mr. Brown wrote that: “review by this Court is necessary to ensure uniformity of decision, finality and certainty for the citizens of California. The constitutionality of the change created by Proposition 8 impacts whether same-sex marriages may issue in California and whether same-sex marriages from other states will be recognized here. There is significant public interest in prompt resolution of the legality of Proposition 8. The Court can provide certainty and finality in this matter.”

I'm not a body language expert, but I got the impression these two guys despise each other. If anything can be taken from the small talk, and plastered on smiles, it's that the private meeting didn't go well, and McCain will lead the filibusters in the Senate on every single piece of legislation.

BODY LANGUAGE... Just look at Barack's posture, open, comfortable and relaxed. He's dominating the little man to his right just in the way he sits in a chair.
I hope Mr. Mc Cain can find a way to serve the new president.
