Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama on Saturday thanked Republican nominee John McCain for quelling the hostility toward him that has grown increasingly nasty among McCain audiences.

“I want to acknowledge that Sen. McCain tried to tone down the rhetoric yesterday, and I appreciated his reminder that we can disagree while still being respectful of each other,” he said at a rally in north Philadelphia. McCain, he said, “has served this country with honor and he deserves our thanks for that.”

Then he immediately went back to his talking points, saying that, on the economy, “McCain still doesn’t get it.”
