I wonder when McCain talked to Obama about the eulogy, if they discussed what he wanted?

5. When I first learned that McCain had invited Obama to give one of the eulogies my thoughts were

that it made perfect sense. Aside from the fact that he wanted to send a message, to elevate the discourse, to call for service above self, he knew the man that Obama is.

Is there any political leader that one could trust more to deliver an eloquent, honorable and honest eulogy? I mean, if he agreed to it? I don't see Obama giving platitudes to say, Karl Rove or Mitch McConnell... but as Obama said, his deep respect for McCain was heartfelt and true, he wouldn't have agreed otherwise.

I think while they may not have enjoyed an intimate friendship as McCain and Biden did, McCain did see Obama for who he was, even if there may have been political differences and some resentment in their relationship. There is simply not another political leader that I see as more trustworthy to know that they would eulogize another with grace, dignity and honor while calling on others to rise above the current atmosphere of hate and divisiveness.
