 I think the process would be improved if each side explained their voting record, statements, etc., with this answer.  E.g.:
Biden/Hillary said Obama wasn't ready because they were running for president--what the f*ck do you expect them to say?
McCain/Obama voted this way or that because it led to greater cooperation on something else, because you can't be a total wild card, etc.
Obama talked about political realities to some extent in his book, but I haven't heard him or anyone else say it while the cameras were rolling.
