For once in this silly season of political bullshit and personal attacks, I agree that this meeting occurred and I think will prove to be productive and even embellishing to the American way of life as we know it!!!!!!!!!! Read this article!!!!!! It offers plenty to think about whether we agree or not!!!!!!

RENO, Nev. -- At the Summit Casino-Resort, Sunday morning, Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., met with oil man T. Boone Pickens, now a proponent of weaning the United States from foreign fuel, who was a funder of the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth, the group that helped defeat Sen. John Kerry's Democratic presidential run in 2004.
"How does it feel meeting with someone who tore down your Democratic colleague in the last election?" a reporter asked Obama.
"You know, he has a lot longer track record than that," Obama said. "He has been doing -- He is, you know, a legendary entrepreneur and there are a lot of things that I think we have to unify the country around -- it is having an intelligent energy policy. Everybody knows if we keep on going on the same track that we are going, that we are giving our wealth away. We are funding both sides of the war on terror.
"We are going to be, over the long term, putting enormous pressure on ordinary families here in America who just aren't going to be able to afford, you know, skyrocketing gasoline prices and home heating prices," Obama continued. "So, this is one of those issues that, I think, should unify the country -- and that is what we are going to be talking about."........
