"" President-elect Barack Obama and Sen. John McCain are meeting Monday for the first time since the presidential election to talk about how they can work together on problems facing the country.

Barack Obama and John McCain, pictured at a 9/11 memorial service, will meet in Chicago on Monday.

The former rivals will sit down at the Obama transition headquarters in Chicago, Illinois.

The meeting comes as Obama is trying to fill out his Cabinet with the most capable people and show he can reach across party lines.

Obama aides have said the president-elect is expected to focus on common ground issues, like climate change and ethics reform, in Monday's meeting.

The two are not expected to talk about any possible Cabinet position for McCain, according to both McCain and Obama advisers. Watch what to expect at the meeting »
