John’s concession speech was awesome, I’ll give him that. Having said that, He definitely had his good moments in his speeches, but that was by far his best. I wish that John would go back to his old ways though, somewhere in the running he lost his ways as a “maverick” and sided with the elitists too much. Come back John and you have yourself a fan again

McCain does belong in office, even in the Obama administration, and I admire him very much for his speech also. Thank you Angela for saying that conservatives must respect the president, no matter how much they fought him during the campaign. Please, McCain supporters, learn from the gentleness and honor of your candidate and do not embarrass him by acting like the liberal illuminati.

I admire John McCain after watching his concession speech. I do not however, admire his supporters [those of whom in particular] who refer to his fellow American as only his middle name as to implicate his ‘otherness’, or have the immaturity to boo at his name when you were giving a very sincere speech in hopes to unite the American people.

I hope some of you grow up and wish the best for our new 44th president, even if you did not vote for him. Be respectful because that’s what Mr. McCain asked of you.

God bless everyone!!

no doubt about it McCain went out with his head held high. The liberal illuminati painted him is such a negative light this whole campaign but it’s a speech like the one he gave last night that proves to America what kind of man he really is. If Obama was a man of his work, truely bipartisan he would put McCain somewhere in office. But i don’t it.

Mr. McCain,
I voted for you and was looking forward to having you as our 44th President. Unfortunately, the votes went the other way, I can only hope that our party, the Republicans, can bounce back from this TRADEGY. Im honestly afraid of what could go wrong at this point with the ROOKIE in charge now. A man like you with your experience and knowledge of the way war works could have really benefited us in this critical time. Just wanted to let you know how I personally feel about the way the votes went. I believe that the reasons for Hussein Osama winning did not have all to do with what he had to offer but because he is so much different, and thats the sign of the times right now, different is in it seems. It was definitely about race and hatred towards George W. Bush, so the majority and the others who have never voted before turned to the democratic/black side.
I remember when 9/11 hit, the American people changed and united for a time, they waved flags and people were friendly to one another all in the name of our freedom, they wanted revenge they wanted someone to pay for the innocent lives that were lost that terrible day. George W. Bush said the war that could take place, would be a long and tough fought war, people backed him. Now look at them, back peddling in the thick of things. We needed you in the White House right now. I can only wait to see what happens now.

I am also amazed by other “gracious words,” as Obama put it, the defeated candidate pronounced in his concession speech.

“This is an historic election, and I recognize the special significance it has for African-Americans and for the special pride that must be theirs tonight.
I’ve always believed that America offers opportunities to all who have the industry and will to seize it. Senator Obama believes that, too.

But we both recognize that, though we have come a long way from the old injustices that once stained our nation’s reputation and denied some Americans the full blessings of American citizenship, the memory of them still had the power to wound.
A century ago, President Theodore Roosevelt’s invitation of Booker T. Washington to dine at the White House was taken as an outrage in many quarters.

America today is a world away from the cruel and frightful bigotry of that time. There is no better evidence of this than the election of an African-American to the presidency of the United States.

Let there be no reason now for any American to fail to cherish their citizenship in this, the greatest nation on Earth.
[…]
I urge all Americans who supported me to join me in not just congratulating him, but offering our next president our good will and earnest effort to find ways to come together to find the necessary compromises to bridge our differences and help restore our prosperity, defend our security in a dangerous world, and leave our children and grandchildren a stronger, better country than we inherited.

Whatever our differences, we are fellow Americans. And please believe me when I say no association has ever meant more to me than that.”

It was actually a memorable speech. As a European, and aa a teacher as well, I think we should read loud these words in the schools. A great lesson of democracy as well as of what is called “the American Spirit” Thank you, Senator McCain, and may God bless your Great Country.
