Obama: Dear John

Obama to McCain, Dear John....


In today's Sun Times:

McCain's letter, publicly released by his office, was triggered by a letter Obama sent him last Thursday, the day after a meeting of a small working group of Democratic and Republican senators on ethics legislation. Obama was invited to the meeting in his new role as the Democratic spokesman on ethics.

In Obama's Thursday letter -- e-mailed to reporters by the office of Democratic Senate leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) -- he urged McCain to swiftly advance an ethics bill co-sponsored by only Democratic senators. No mention was made of McCain's own bill.
