Hillary-Obama ‘08
This would be the ideal ticket. But it doesn’t look like a marriage made in heaven.
And earlier tonight, in an interview with Fox News Channel’s Chris Wallace, Hillary made it clear that she did feel snubbed by Obama at the State of the Union address:
“Well Chris, I reached out my hand in friendship and unity, and my hand is still reaching out. And I look forward to shaking his hand when I see him at the debate in California.”
Time Magazine has more:
Sources: Senior Obama staffers rejected proposal for their candidate to sit with Clinton at State of the Union.
Leading Democrats wanted rivals to sit together for the sake of party unity.
Clinton was willing, but Obama chose to sit with newly-minted supporter Ted Kennedy.
Obama strategist David Axelrod to The Page: “No such invitation ever came from Senator Clinton. Had [she] made such a proposal, we would have adjusted our plans.”
Here’s the full audio of her statement to Wallace:

Obama claims to put the nation together yet he snubs hillary when shaking her hand. This is the uniter? Sounds like BS to me.

Fiddlesticks, L the L. It’s just political hay, and very wispy at that. Don’t mean nothin’.

Now Clinton is playing the victim. Obama made it clear that he was called, and let the space so that HRC could give space so she could salute Mr. Kenedy but now they want to make a big deal out of it.
It just show how classless she is because she wants to make a big deal out of it.
What about the photo up? She does the damage and now she wants to show unity?

Honestly,I’d like to see an Obama/Edwards ticket.
The GOP has had a lot of time to work out an attack plan for Senator Clinton. And they will definetly pull out all the stops.
I’m voting for her if she gets the nomination,but I’d prefer one of the other two.

Clinton lobby you, that’s why you keep promoting her.

Alan, why are you putting links up to that crazy nonsensical biased super-duper uber hyper Christian conservative Republican right-wing extremist Bush-loving mouthpiece sham of a news station Faux News?
I’m not going to even dare click to their website because I might happen to read something I slightly disagree with and catch conservative cooties that will fry my brain!
I also hear you have conservatives in your family, Alan…HOW DARE YOU!

That would be a great ticket… but I don’t see it happening. I don’t think they like eachother.

Democratic candidate abrasive behavior whether by the candidates themselves or overzealous staff is undignified and contrary to the principles of good democratic government. We can disagree over ideas but personal vilification only assists the other side of the political spectrum. Obama and Hilliary both need to get over it and grow up in their behavior towards one another. As for me, I’ll miss Edwards and his powerful but gentlemanly means of debate.

Obama strategist David Axelrod says that “[n]o such invitation ever came from Senator Clinton. Had [she] made such a proposal, we would have adjusted our plans.” So, whether or not Sen. Clinton reached out to Sen. Obama (depending on who you want to believe), we know for sure that Sen. Obama did NOT reach out to her. That’s telling in itself.

I don’t get it! People who support HILLARY CLINTON are total FOOLS! It’s obvious that these people have not read what Bill & Hillary Clinton have done to get where they are today! Both Clintons lied, cheated, and bullied their way to the top, while destroying those who stood in their way and what’s worse – they’ve gotten away with it! Wake Up America! We cannot hand over this country to these 2 scandalous tyrants (Bill & Hillary)! They are a perfect example of HillBilly Politics! What is it with the Democrats? Is Obama & Clinton the best they can do? John Edwards was the best choice of the 3 candidates! Unfortunately we are stuck with 2 candidates who are worse than Al Gore & John Kerry!
