Speaking in Philadelphia, Obama told supporters, "I appreciated his reminder that we can disagree while still being respectful of each other,"referring to McCain.

McCain "has served this country with honor, and he deserves our thanks for that," Obama said.

But, McCain "still doesn't get it" on the economy. "He's out of touch and running out of time," Obama stated.

1. Man Out Of Time:

So this is where he came to hide
When he ran from you
In a private detective's overcoat
And dirty dead man's shoes

The pretty things of Knightsbridge
Lying for a minister of state
Are a far cry from the nod and wink
Here at traitor's gate

'Cause the high heel he used to be has been ground down
And he listens for the footsteps that would follow him around

To murder my love is crime
But will you still love
A man out of time

There's a tuppeny hapenny millionaire
Looking for a fourpenny one
With a tight grip on the short hairs
Of the public imagination

But for his private wife and kids somehow
Real life becomes a rumour
Days of dutch courage
Just three French letters and a German sense of humour

He's got a mind like a sewer and a heart like a fridge
He stands to be insulted and he pays for the privilege

(chorus)

The biggest wheels of industry
Retire sharp and short
And the after dinner overtures
Are nothing but an after thought
Somebody's creeping in the kitchen
There's a reputation to be made
Whose nerves are always on a knife's edge
Who's up late polishing the blade

Love is always scarpering or cowering or fawning
You drink yourself insensitive and hate yourself in the morning

To murder my love is crime
But will you still love
A man out of time

11. I don't have TV so I love the video forum here

MSNBC.com is also good - you can watch Hardball, Countdown, and Maddow a couple of hours after they're on.

10. He's trying to tell me something -

First I get on a weird kick of Hall & Oates earlier this week, then SNL references it for the first time, maybe ever. Now Obama is sending secret messages directly to me. Message received, sir.
