Despite the last two weeks where the Democratic candidate, Barack Obama, and the Republicans' candidate, John McCain have been sparring against each other on the issues facing citizens in the upcoming election had a one assumed cease-fire today as both men visited the remains of the World Trade Center; giving their respects to those who died in the attacks. After both men walked up to a reflection pool at the top of a long ramp, they each picked up one flower: Obama a pink one and McCain a yellow one; stood on the side of the pool and placed both flowers in. They then took a few seconds in silent remembrance.
Barack and John then spoke to members of the fire and police departments and then after a small discussion with others at the site, they left. A person close by is quoted to have heard Barack say to John, “All right sir, see you soon.” Even as both men are in a close race for the Presidency, it shows that they still have civility to each other; something most Op-Ed writers say has vanished once Obama received the nomination. While this is good, it also brings up the issue of terrorism that seems have to have gone into the back of voter's minds as of late, September 11th will always be remember in the hearts and souls of Americans.
