On ABC’s This Week, John McCain stressed his bipartisan skills, his ability to “reach across the aisle to Democrats.” He stressed that we should leave Iraq when conditions dictate, not on some arbitrary timetable.

On FOX News Sunday, Dem Senator Claire McCaskill said that Obama’s 16-month timetable was only a “goal,” subject to change based on conditions. Republican Senator John Thune referred to Obama’s recent jaunt through Europe as a “flashbulb tour.”

Next on FNS, Karl Rove rated Obama’s jaunt as a plus in the short term but much less in the longer term. He said that Obama’s speech in Germany was “soaring,” to be sure, but “there was no there there.”

On NBC’s Meet the Press, Obama repeated that if he is elected, everyone will love us and the Arabs and the Europeans would drop their generations-old hatreds and prejudices regarding the United States of America and our position in the world. There would be a great harmonic convergence and love between our bothers and our sisters all over this land.

On CBS’ Face the Nation, Chuck Hagel attacked McCain for attacking Obama. Jack Reed said that McCain “should not be waging this type of campaign.” Hagel said that he did not know if he will vote for his party’s Presidential nominee and his old friend, John McCain, or for his new buddy, Obama.

On CNN’s Late Edition, John McCain underscored his support for Israel. On immigration, he supported border security first, then a regulated temporary workers program and a path-to-citizenship for those illegals willing to undergo the process. He also asserted that he “knows how” to capture Osama bin Laden (deceased).
