WASHINGTON (CNN) President-elect Obama will host a series of dinners the night before his inauguration honoring Ret. Gen. Colin Powell, Vice President-elect Joe Biden, and his former presidential rival, Republican Sen. John McCain, the Presidential Inaugural Committee announced Saturday.
"In these times of great challenge and great change, leadership requires rising above the same old narrow partisanship," the president-elect said in a statement released by the committee.
"Each of these distinguished Americans has spent his life in service to his country, at each and every moment placing the interests of America before issues of political party. That is precisely the spirit of common purpose we need as we begin the work ahead."

We may be looking at the greatest politician in a very long time, he certainly knows and understands people
1.) I didn't know Colin Powell and John McCain became Liberals overnight?
2.) Who said it was tax money being spent?
1)They didnt. Theyve been liberals for well over a decade already. No one has ever disputed that.
2)You honestly think Obama's spending his own money?
1.) Uh I do. They may have a couple Liberal views but that doesn't make them Liberals. Under your logic, any president would be both sides.
2.) It's called people paying money for tickets, then that money goes towards the party. Simple concept no?

Obama's Presidential Inaugural Committee Sets Up Shop
Barack Obama's Presidential Inaugural Committee begins its work today, though an official announcement of its formation is not expected until later in the week.
Key members of the finance team and press staff have arrived in Washington for the undertaking of what is widely expected to be the most highly attended presidential inauguration ever. Their task is to organize - and raise several million dollars for - all of the official inaugural balls, galas and other festivities that will mark the dawning of the Obama administration. (To put it in perspective, President Bush spent around $40 million on his inaugural events in 2005, much of which was raised from corporations and lobbyists.)

There isn't any point in being rational with people like him, he's gonna hate everything Obama does even if its good
HAHAHA. That's the funniest thing Ive heard in a long time from the Bush haters.
No I just dont see how hosting a dinner honoring lefties is some noble gesture from Obama. Im not brainwashed into thinking everything he does is divine. Give me a break.

Uh whatever...Colin Powell endorced Obama,Biden is his VP and no one helped Obama win more then McCain the "Maverick" who no one in the GOP even likes. This would be Obama paying back his big buddies (more of the same)....nothing else.
Bi -Partisan and " raising above partisanship" would be actually stepping out of the "box" and honoring someone the left can't stand...like GWB for instance.
Obama is not a risk taker. I don't see him being Bi-Partisan in a meaningful way...ever.
Why is this a story? Obama hosting dinner parties for friends and future political allies? SHOCKING!
The fact that it is a story at all goes to show that the Obama-mania is far from over. Every time he breathes there is someone around to tell us how magnificent he is - and how he breathes better than ANY other President has EVER breathed.
Even if you are an ardent Obama supporter...if you are first an American citizen you should be concerned about this type of hype and fawning over a man, a politician, with the amount of power he is about to be given.
