(CNN) - Barack Obama's campaign said Wednesday that Hillary Clinton will travel to New York with the presumptive Democratic nominee on his campaign plane. The former rivals are scheduled to appear at a joint fundraiser later Wednesday evening.

so?
I hope they have a meaningful discussion about how to get those lingering Clinton supporters who have not come over to Obama. They need to look past their own egos to the bigger picture – a non-vote or witholding of support for Obama is a vote for McCain, and the Clinton/Obama policies and plans could not be farther from McCain's. They need to decide where they want America to go in the next years, including with the economy, the war, supreme court nominees, family and women's issues, and healthcare and take action that supports those issues. They need to start acting like adults instead of spoiled children who didn't get our way. It is too important to play children's games.
Treachery and foul play by one democrat against another democratic candiate will NEVER win my vote.
True democrat for democracy, freedom, justice, equality and fair politics. Therefore still for Hill and never for the installed imposter.
Don't have to worry about any airplane issues now?
If the democratic party valued its lifelong democratic party base…
And if Obama wants our votes….
He and his hateful cult following should have shown HRC the respect she has earned and deserves.
He and his filthy, vulgar, loudmouthed supporters should have never insulted, debased, mocked, ridiculed and insulted greater than 50% of the democratic party.
Too little, too late.
Living through the terrible, hateful, fixed for Obama primary, I can say that this is just too little too late:
If the democratic party valued its lifelong democratic party base…
And if Obama wants our votes….
He and his hateful cult following should have shown HRC the respect she has earned and deserves.
He and his filthy, vulgar, loudmouthed supporters should have never insulted, debased, mocked, ridiculed and insulted greater than 50% of the democratic party.
Too little, too late.
Watch your back, Hillary. This guy is dangerous.
Watch your back B.O.!!
The democratic base is gone…possibly for good.
We all hate the direction of the new democratic party. Even those who will still reluctantly vote for the installed democratic nominee this NOV.
Those that Obama has inspired and brought into the party are filled with vitriol. They disrespect fellow Americans, fellow democrats, and even democratic candidates. They argue, not out of an informed opinion but with name-calling belittling insults to demean ALL others who may disagree.
They force, coerce, threaten and demand who gets to be nominee of the party.
This is 3rd world election rigging by propaganda and manipulation of the media. It is not democracy, justice or freedom.
The democrats are fools to think that UNITY is ever possible after the Obama show and the bash-fest of the past 6 months.
Viva Liberty and the right to vote.
What a pair–they deserve each other!
Great that Barack and Hillary are acting like grown-ups. I wish more of their respective supporters would do the same !!!
What's the point? She's not stumping for him like Bill did for her.
We don't need her nor her supporters.
Obama 08
You will have to take the fact that Obama has lost the democratic base for the democratic party. This will cost Obama votes.
My conscience is clear- I cast MY ballot for the very BEST candidate- no racial games, no gender bias, no filthy insults, no hatred, no forceful coercion of the democratic process.
TAKE THAT!
Thank goodness Hillary is taking over–however, Bill needs to take a hike–he is not being helpful–cutting up John McCain's war hero status is hitting below the belt!
Please Hillary do not waste your time with this loser.
Clinton 2012
A ticker for this but not one for McCain's Iran "joke" You're a joke CNN.
I wish she would stay far, far away from this puppet.
She was the best choice and the boys in the club didn't like it.
PUMA PAC – we will stop the DNC and the Obama thugs at just about any cost. I've stopped contrubuting to Hillary and moved my money to PUMA.
Hillary supporters know what really happened at the caucuses and in the media and the DNC. And we are not just going to roll over and unite for the wrong reasons.
McCain '08 for Clinton '12
Hill and Bill, you better get your butts out on the trail. People will not forgive and forget how you behaved during your campaign!
Good maybe now all of her sore loser backers will stop whining and start working for a better America (yes Obama can)!!!!
it sounds like somethig is going on like he my be ready to pick her as his vp
Maybe her humility will humble his big inflated ego.
So far only the haters are falling for Obama- the vile, filthy bloggers...the name-calling insulters who di not argue by reason but by demeaning others... always ridiculing and denigrating other democrats.
Why doesn't he just announce her as his VP already. If not just dump her and pick Edwards as your VP. I'm tired of waiting for the VP announcement.
KEEP A PARACHUTE HANDY,BARACK.IF YOU DON'T HAVE ONE,LOOK UNDER HER SEAT FOR THE SECRET COMPARTMENT,AND TAKE HERS!!!!
Susan
Shut up, I won't forget how people treated her and I will NEVER vote for Obama
Is the fund raising to clear her debt. I hope not!! She dug that pit and needs to crawl out of it herself.
Maybe he can give her some ideas on how to get her 18 million supporters to donate $1.30 each to get her and Bill's money back and to pay Mark Penn, who happens to be going into business with Karen Hughes.
Way to go Obama & Hillary!!
Obama, pick Hillary for VP, and with both of your million voters, you can win!
Obama/Hillary!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Let's go Bill .... your legacy depends on this more than you can possibly understand right now ...
Agreed. But hey, Obama does need her to start campaigning. I hope she actually campaigns with him. NY is a good start but they need to start going to the swing states too.
Question........is HRC using donated recovery funds to pay for the bus loads of her bitter supporters who have threatened to protest at the convention in Denver? It wouldn't surprise me.
Barack Obama doesn't need this added burden of fund raising for someone who has lost.
Hill & Bill 08!!!
I will be so glad when she is out of the picture, just hearing her name makes me cringe. I know all you puma/pacs are upset cause you can't blame Obama for how she mismanaged her finances, and to think you wanted her to run your country.
For people continuing to disparage Hillary, it's tiresome.
Hillary will grow tired of being talked down to and lectured by this pompous know-it-all.
Where's Hillary? That's my girl!!!
He can give her is speech on... unity... race... morality...change. After all HE has been so true and on message on these things.
Obama is a sick puppy. Too full of himself to see his own failings.
I'm waiting to see the influence, if any, that Senator Clinton has over her 18 million voters.
I like the way Barack and Hillary look together. Definitely a winning ticket. I hope Obama comes to his senses and realize that the best thing is right in front of him!
Yes We Can! Obama/Clinton '08
Two Lisa's HuH?
One belongs to a cult and the other one supports Hillary.
Maybe she can give him some pointers on hard work, sincerity, humility, convinction, and respect.
The orator loves to talk down his nose at all people.
Only HE- who has never done anything- is the perfect, infallible one.
At least Obama is going to be safe now. Ain't no way that plane is going down with Hillary on board. It will be checked, and double checked by the Bildeberger's.
Bill ain't having that.
Hillary #1 on the ticket.
Good to see Barack and Hillary putting aside their differences for the good of the country. We could all take a lesson in turning the other cheek, and moving forward. Way to go! Can't wait to see Bill on the trail too!
I do not know how you can bear this man's air of superiority for that long.
One speech cured me of Obama fever.
We need Obama as president and Hillary as Vice-president now..
So now she wants to be vice president? All the time she said that McCain was better then Obama. Hillary is a hypocrite, opportunist and a liar.
I feel for you... good lady.
Way too much hot air and boasting coming from this least qualified of them all but still installed as nominee candidate.
Please Hill dont do it dont get on that plane? Did you see what happened yesterday !!!
Susan, please show a little respect. You are addressing a former President of the United States and his wife, a current Senator.
While I disagree with Obama about many things, I have never used a slang name for him nor have I aked him to get his butt out there.
We need to restore a little decorum to this election.
Aww...love is in the air.
If asked, Hillary should NOT accept the VP. Obama will lose to McCain.
McCain08; Hillary 2012
Yeah, cause THAT's working out really well! No Hillary supporters could support Obama – we know too much and it's showing in the lack of enthusiasm from her money people.
He will not win without HILLARY !!!
Watch what you say Hillary when you're on the plane with him, that guy is an opportunist.
Hillary we all know that you were the best...
But we wanted black this year.
The only qualification needed... Oprah said so... and the American Idol generation bought it.
So much for hard work, humility, experience, qualifications, accomplishements, principles, convictions, dedication to the people.
You got dissed, sliced and diced, Woman.
Now we can all say ANYone but that Bro and his Ho.... right back at them.
Clinton Supporter, NObama; get your a55es out of here and go play in rush hour traffic you retarded parakeets.
Susan – Unfortunately, neither Hillary nor Bill nor their supporters can forget how Obama and his childish obamkins acted during the primary. People won't forgive and forget??? No Shkiddingt and that's why they aren't out there. Besides she's got 18 million reasons that she doesn't need to be forgiven.
HELLO MANIPULATIVE OBAMA,
EARN YOU PRESIDENCT!
DO NOT WAIT AGAIN TO BE GIVEN TO YOU!!!!
Watch Out... Hillary... this man will throw ANYone under the bus after he has raped them for all their worth... but you already know that now.
Love You... but my vote does not transfer to Obama.
Thanks for trying though...
HELLO MANIPULATIVE OBAMA,
EARN YOU PRESIDENCY!
DO NOT WAIT AGAIN TO BE GIVEN TO YOU!!!!
I hope she has a handy parachute in case he pushes her out of the plane.
We are going to clean John McSame's clock come November!!!!
OK, a small start in the right direction......Hillary for V.P.!
I thought that Bill had already ruined his legacy.
At least that's what the Obama supporters kept stating during the primary.
I recall that the Clinton years were among the BEST this nation has hand in a long, long time.
Of course Obama repeatedly stated that this was not the case. Even though he knows, and you know and I know that that is a lie.
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Watch your back Barack. A wounded Clinton can be dangerous.
I just don't trust her– Obama needs to stand alone without Hillary.
Don't worry Hill....
God was watching these primaries....
Obama won't win... that is the price to pay for UGLY.
I'd sure like to see an Obama/Clinton ticket. I am still very much for Hillary. I really think she can get things done.
Hillary would be a great Attorney General (she would be much more effective there than VP), and I think its great they are acting like sensible adults who can put emotion aside and focus on a more important agenda.
Hillary EARNED our votes based on her track history, her work, her qualifications, her experience, her platform and her dedication.
Obama has NONE of those things.
Our vote will NOT simply transfer to Obama.
Remember… we WERE already democrats… and the travesty of this primary drove us away.
We are lifelongs… "outreach" isn't needed for us. We were in and now we are leaving.
Silly dems.
She'll falsely campaign for him. In return, he'll help pay off her campaign debt.
The woman doesn't support him and everyone knows it. Why do you all insist that they continue this charade?
Psst...Senator Clinton you may not want to take a chance on flying with this guy. Barack and planes don't go well with each other.
hillary for pres run as a independent hillary
Reminds me of the movie "Snakes on a Plane".
The Dumb & Dumber Express.
Hillary goes as an Independent, so we can vote for you!
Careful...Obama may throw you out the door Hilary.. he flip flops alot you know.....Democrat for McCain
I think some of you haters live in the back woods with the way some of you think. Take a brake from hate.
doesn't she have a job? no wonder she's $23M in debt!
dont trust her barack...
This could end badly. Her ego+his status=boom.
Booooo!! Hillary sucks and Bill!! ..........except Chelsea, I like her, LOL!!
Let's all come together in between the sheets of unity.
She is not "joining" him she is trying to save the democratic party that his hateful campaign destroyed.
Too late.
We believe in the ideals of the party... not in what the new democrats who Obama inspired turned it into.
Hillary is surely a good person.
Bill has become unclear however.
This would heurt her position as VP.
Maybe Secretary of Health and Human Services? Who knows!
Anyway, Democrats need to get united.
YES WE CAN!
NOBAMA
HILL IS FINISHED FOR EVER. LOSER. IT IS TIME TO THROW HER UNDER THE BUS.
Hillary Be careful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Joining Him?
Don't you mean SAVING him?
She is the only uniter... she did not need to announce and brag about it. Look how his bragging turned out?
What other promises will he not be able to deliver on?
We don't like cocky, arrogant, smug, boastful, swaggering do-nothings... that is why we did not vote for Bush... and why we will NEVER vote for Obama.
We know a lot of McCain dudes that writes like they`re `hurt Hillary supporters` and boy......are they doing a great work on the minds of democrates? Go figure!!!
Love you more now Hill.
Obama trashed you and it will cost him in NOV.
Let all pettiness and bruising of ego fall to the side, so that both of these talented people–three, if you count Bill–can put out a clear and consistent message that takes back the White House.
Come on Clinton supporter, get a life. You want four more years of Bush, poor economy, more war, weak dollar, eight dollar gasoline? Then vote for McCain. Get real and get with Clinton on Obama's bandwagon. Your just a poor loser who won't let go.
maybe my conspiracy theory was too much for moderators,so,i'll try it another way.please-enjoy-your-time-with-barack-on -his-airplane.if i sound like a robot,it is because of censor.
I love the Hillary supporters like these "NOBAMA" & the one called Clinton supporter.
These folks are a trip; they say any garbage that comes to their mouth yet they will not send a penny to help her pay her debt.
Folks, if you have nothing positive to say, why not keep your fingers off the keyborad? If you have a little hate, then send your donations!
This is so funny that those against and those for Obama are DEMS yet hate resides on both sides. Yikes!
Politics is a beast, that's why so many people hate to get involved.
Barak Obama can do no wrong , he is perfect and we should vote for him no matter what other people say about him. That is the message we get from the obama team.
Patiently waiting for Vic to share her 2 cents worth(less).
Come on Jessie. You would be calling for the persons job. If anyone else made it.Jessie the hypocrite.
HOW ABOUT JUST 1 MILLION HILLARY 'SUPPORTERS' WITH $20 BUCKS? NO BILLS...LOL :p
Wow....
THE LADY.... and the tramp...
At least in all fairness... after what they did to YOU, Hill, we can Now all say : ANYbody but this bro and his (ugly) ho... right back at them.
What goes around comes around.
Don't worry we will remember for you, in Nov... we do not need to play into the game. Obama trashed the rules of civility and party unity.
Wonder if the plane will have anymore problems now... we can only hope..
According to Jackson, a Fox News microphone picked up comments he meant to deliver privately that seemed to disparage the presumptive Democratic nominee for appearing to lecture the black community on morality.Jessie is just Jealous as a rev if you don'have anything good to say then don,t say anything......Senator Obama is a strong man.......He take hits from Mccain and his supporters,Hillary supporters the Media Blogs and has received a Good Beat Down and is still Standing Strong ,how could I leave out SEAN and RUSH .....GOD BLESS YOU SIR!
CNN YOU out with only 45 Comments ON JESSIE
To Susan from Susan from Scotts Valley:
From what we hear from a lot of Hillary supporters, they're not going to support Obama no matter what. Hopefully she'll start REALLY campaigning for him.
GM, well said in terms of them fighting, realizing a victor was crowned and moving on. Too bad other adults in this country can't do so.
nobam, Clinton needs Obama to win. OR, lose in a really ugly fashion. Based on the polls, it's going to be either a close loss for Obama or a solid won by Obama. So, there goes the easy way back to the top for Clinton.
If Obama wins, she gets to set up her next move as his VP to be President.
Absent getting VP, she gets a senior position in the administration –
Sec'y of state, Sec'y of Health & Human Services, Supreme Court, etc.
Or, she becomes Majority Leader and shepherds legislation through that they both agree needs to get done. Or, she holds up legislation she doesn't want.
If Obama doesn't win, then Webb, Warner, Kaine, Reed, Sebelius, Bayh, Richardson all of those folks stay in front of her.
So, the easiest way to get back to the front of the line is for him to win. Because if he doesn't, fairly or otherwise, there'll be a LOT of people who will blame her for the loss. Again, fairly or unfairly and all those othe people will "appear" to be more loyal than her. Never forget, she's the one who said "I have the experience, and McCain has the experience, you'll have to ask Senator Obama about his..."
So, all of her fans who want to see her as President had better hope he wins.
Lastly, considering some of the tough things she did say about Obama and she having it and he not having it, how does she answer that in a debate as the Democratic VP?
Why? She will just spy on him and copy what Barack is doing in 2012, because she doesn't have one creative bone in her body. I hate her, and wish she would go away.
A prelude to her 2012 run, that's all it is.
So? It's not like his plane will be the better, what for her gracing it with her presence. She just not afford to gas up her own plane anymore.
The thought of her being so close to Barack makes me sick. She's slime and Barack will really have to watch his back. And he won't be able to eat anything on the plane. Just face her and keep smiling, don't turn your back on her because she's evil.
And for God's sake don't take Bill onboard or you'll be outnumbered by snakes.
Go team Obama!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Watch your back Barack, and don't drink anything when you are with her.
Obama 08/12
Will Hillary have to go through a metal detector, because she may try to do something to Barack–our nominee.
I wish some of her supporters would grow up! They are so rude!!!!
she cant afford her own airplane ticket
I've lost all respect for former Prez Bill Clinton since this primary. What a disappointment. And he's not making it any easier for Senator Clinton by continuing to sulk. She still has a future in the political arena to consider. How could Obama possibly consider asking her to be the running mate now with baggage like that? A sorry state of affairs.
What did he say?
To paraphrase Winston Churchill, we have determined what Hilary is, and that her price is $10 million.
Obama trashed the rules of intra-party respect and civility... he and his thug followers.
Now they want Hillary with her poise and grace and strength and inner beauty to put the party back together again.
Hillary can do it... but we won't allow her to heal this sick, sorry party. We will honor Hillary in our own way in NOV.
It is bigger than Party unity for a NOV win- it is about preserving the democratic process itself. Sorry, Hillary – we would listen but were it for the hateful tactics that swiftboated you.
We will not bow down to sexism, bias, hate and injustice.
Do what you must, Hill... and we've got your back.
Clinton Supporter .... Watch your back, Hillary. This guy is danerous
Maybe HRC should watch you....IDIOT!
Why don't her donors find a way to pay her debt? The only reason she's hanging around Barack, like a leach, is so she can get her stupid bills paid.
She makes everything stink.
im not wasting my time with cnn blog,anymore.you censor everything.
I have never respected ANY politician more so than Hillary.
But I can not allow what they did to YOU, Hill to become the way the democrats win nominations.
We must stop this movement into insults, filth, hate, bigotry, sexism. We must purge this strategy of trash your opponent right out of the party this time, this year... or the Democrats are dead.
Is John McSame a flip flopper??? Let's see...
McCain will repeal the AMT. Wait, no ...
...not exactly. The presidential candidate has been saying he would eliminate the so-called "wealth tax" that threatens the non-wealthy. But now he supports a more modified plan.
That's not only a flip flop, it a half gainer with a full twist!!!! LOL!!!!
I hope she doesn't campaign for him I'm hopeful that since this is a fund raiser, it's about raising money for her debt. (?) I wish she pair up as McCain's vp.
Why help her plan against him for 2012? She doesn't need to ride on a plane with him, or get anywhere near him. When will the O Team wise up and realize that Hillary should be kept at a distance. She's means him no good, and it's obvious that she doesn't like him.
Liars should stay away from Barack.
How 'bout Bill? Isn't he invited? He isn't "on board" because he's made it clear that he thinks Obama is a chump. I don't think he's ever really gotten over the race baiting Obama's campaign engaged in during the primary. Wonder why they haven't done it with McCain (much) yet since they were so liberal about it with the Clintons and their supporters? Very curious!
My goodness, she's determined to get her debt paid. She will do anything and say anything and I don't believe her. And it's funny, but her supporters don't believe her either because she asked them to vote for Barack and they're not doing it. Oh well, so much for Hillary's influence.
A Prayer For Barack:
Yea though I walk through the Valley of Death, I will fear no (EVIL HILLARY), for thou art with me.
Obama 08
Obama/Hillary '08!
Hope the uncivil and fanatical supporters of Obama are watching or listening because thier tongues need cleaning.
Puma, raise and pay your lady the money you owe her !!!!
Democrat unite and lets beat the war machine !
Clinton Supporter Watch your back, Hillary. This guy is dangerous
If you don't have anything positive to say.......Don't say JACK!!! .....Show some Dignity!!!
Barack,
Don't take Hillary up in a plane with you. If you do make sure you have a parachute. She'll throw you off the plane. Remember what she said about June–well it's July.
Hillary, Wicked Witch of the West: "I can't wait forever to get those shoes."
Check and double check before you get on the plane Hill make sure Obama not trying to do away with his clinton problem. He's set up so everyone knows there are "mechanical problems" going on. Okay Okay this comment was not necessary but I felt like saying it with everyone blaming Hillary for his plane problems when she was nowhere around.
Please Senator Obama do not put Hillary Clinton on
your ticket. You do not need her and sorry supporters.
Terry Mac is a slick oil salesman. These people
only want to use you to get Hillary near the White House.
I am glad for the unity. BUT, She still does not seem like she is 100% campaigning for Obama. She seems like she still is hoping it will be her, because she thinks she deserves it. I DO NOT. She lost, Obama Won. Further, I will not pay one cent for her campaign.
Doesn't matter what Hillary does Obama doesn't get my vote. I'm writing in Hillary. All the Obama supporters can say I'm angry and pouting over the Hillary loss or that I'm really a Republican.
No ... this is a dedicated Democrat who will not vote for someone who doesn't have any experience, doesn't have a voting record of substance, supports a radical nut job for 20 years and doesn't see anything wrong with it, changes his mind constantly and apologizes all the time ... The list goes on and on.
Lets Go Dems!!!!!!!!
Obama, get smart and dump Hillary.
I see Obama is voting with George Bush (but Hillary is not) on the terrorist surveillance bill-Does this mean we get 4 more years of Bush no matter who we vote for?
Wow….
THE LADY…. and the tramp…
At least in all fairness… after what they did to YOU, Hill, we can NOW exercise OUR right to (filthy, crude, " free" speech ) and all say : ANYbody but this bro and his (ugly) ho… right back at them.
What goes around comes around. Isn't the new democratic party lots of fun?
Don't worry we will remember for you, in Nov… we do not need to play into the game. Obama trashed the rules of civility and party unity.
The Republican bland is damaged. But the Democratic Party and the MSM has trashed America and this current administration so much that theie Party will end up in the state of decadence with full of people with nostalgia for days past. They are pushing their kind of heroism on people (forget about the ordinary Americans).
One thing Americans are known for is “generous with advice” this is especially true with this particular Democratic Party this year. They’ve got their king and now they really think they’ve got good advices for everyone. While they want to trash one of the best experienced and knowledgeable and tested and connected to people candidates they have in the Democratic Party. Americans will decide who their real hero is.
The Democrats just wants to bring back ghosts from the past and make us all relive the past glory. With Hillary there is hope. Their selected king may give hope to some but he is not ready. Is he ready?
people need to realise that politics is about deplomacy and if that is not excuted then democrats would suffer. obama is exercising deplomacy and hilary clinton know that is the only way.
Do what she may, he'll never get my vote.
Sorry Hillary... but we are looking over Obama's big ego and right through his hype and refusing to be bullied, threatened, trashed, forced, insulted and debased into voting for the lesser candidate.
Had Obama and his followers NOT played so dirty, crude and foul... we would already be on board.
But principles trump party any day.
So even For YOU, Hillary... we won't vote for Obama. If you are VP, I would reluctantly do so... out of respect and admiration for YOU. No other way will I capitulate to this hijacking of a nomination by the LEAST qualified candidate- EVEN if he is a democrat.
Has anyone informed the Pilot and Co-Pilot of this? Mrs. Clinton will want to be in charge, or at least appear she is in command (of anything: airplanes, American Military, Girl Scouts, Bill, anything!)
Big mistake unless she is the VP..
If not Hillary then McCain PERIOD..We will remember in NOV
Blah, Blah, Blah. People will vote however they vote. I'm through talking about candidates that didn't win the nomination unless we're talking about VP or cabinet positions.
I don't care who gets on the plane as long as it isn't reverend Wright.
I want to get to the debates so the American public can begin to engage on THE ISSUEs and WHAT"s AT STAKE in this election.
Tickers about NOTHING are annoying.
Good!! Maybe it'll crash!!!
You know what, Gary, you get a life. I don't see much difference in Obama and Bush personality wise. They are both arrogrant and get what they want by hook or crook.
If Hillary can't run, I'll vote for Nader.
Why bow down to the hateful divisive tactics that Obama used to trash HRC?
Why reward that disrespectful, hateful and crude strategy with a vote.
Say NO to sexism, racism, ageism and any other nasty personal denigrating and debasing tactics used to secure nominations.
Obama went too far with his race-baiting... he stepped over the line from civility to unacceptable behavior from a democrat towards fellow democrats.
Why are so many people pointing fingers at the SUPPORTERS of the candidates on a blog and using thaty as the reason for the reason why they are voting in a certain way?
seriously, you are going to give that much power to someone on a blog you never even met?
think for yourselves – don't be a pawn by "the back forth bickering" and what the media feeds you.
LOLOLOL Clinton earned her 18 million votes, but Obama did not earn his 18 million voteS?!?!? THAT IS HILARIOUS.
I really am not surprised at the number of people pouting because their candidate lost... after all everyone in america is all about themselves.
Good luck to those who support John McCain because if you've been tracking his answers to questions at his town hall meetings you don't need to worry about the economy or social security. The reason being, John McCain doesn't know anything about either. Look it up for yourself and read his answer to the social security question.
Say no now... or watch the democratic party devolve into a band of thugs.
Don't accept what happened in this primary... it was disgraceful, disgusting, disrespectful, and UNdemocratic.
Say no to a future of winning by strong-arming, threats, force, race-baiting, insults and demeaning your fellow democratic opponent and her followers.
The price to pay is democracy itself if you capitulate NOW to the hijacking of this primary by Obama and his thugs.
THANK YOU DISENFRANCHISED HILLARY SUPPORTERS!!!
With your vote McCain can take the white house and finish what President Bush started! I hope that my man John gets in office and then nukes the hell out of any country that tries to mess with us!!!! Thanks Hillary!!!! We couldn't do it without you!!!
Aren't we ALL proud of how they trashed, bashed, throttled, insulted and dissed you?
Aren't we all good little democrats for tactics of hate, name-calling, ethnic slurs, filthy jokes, sexual heckling, booing, ridiculing, mocking ... and more.
Aren't we proud to be democrats?
Aren't we REALLY proud to be democrats? (for those who think, really really really makes a difference).
BOMB BOMB BOMB BOMB IRAN BOMB BOMB BOMB BOMB IRAN!
Aren't we ALL proud of how they trashed, bashed, throttled, insulted and dissed you?
Aren't we all good little democrats for tactics of hate, name-calling, jeering, ethnic slurs, filthy jokes, sexual heckling, booing, ridiculing, mocking ... and more.
Aren't we proud to be democrats?
Aren't we REALLY proud to be democrats? (for those who think, really really really makes a difference).
Here we go again with "hateful" and "sexism" etc...
Will it never end? Obama was the one praising clinton while her and Bill threw round after round of mud on him. And once again... sexism probably helped her more than it hurt.. because you know that she got millions upon millions of votes just for the fact that she was a woman.. just like Barack got millions of votes for the fact that he was black. The reality is... sexism.. and racism.. ended up helping both and vice/versa hurting both. Sexism helped Clinton get millions of votes from women and those who stand up for women. And racism helped Barack in places with minority populations, and hurt him in places like Tenn and Kentucky where the voters actually admitted to the fact that they would never vote for a black man. So stop your whining and blind lashing out and start thinking realistically.
And once again.. Hillary didn't win most of the votes... Barack had more popular votes, and most importantly.. the most PLEDGED delegates.. more than half.. so stop with the "selected, not elected" garbage.. you're just making yourself look stupid. Hillary would have needed a lot more superdelegate votes than Obama to clinch the nomination.
Why is this big news? They have, and always will have, differences, but they're on the same "plane". Get over it, Clinton supporters. She's already given you your orders unless you weren't really her supporter, but just a faker.
SOME OF YOU FORGOT HILL ATTACKED OBAMA BUT YOU STILL KISS HER HINY...I'M SURE ALL YOU HATERS ARE PERFECT HUH? SOME OF YOU MAKE IT CLEAR THAT IT'S BLACK AND WHITE.
I mean it...
I am really really proud to be a dummycrat now:
Aren't we ALL proud of how they trashed, bashed, throttled, insulted and dissed you?
Aren't we all good little democrats for tactics of hate, name-calling, ethnic slurs, filthy jokes, sexual heckling, booing, ridiculing, mocking ... and more.
Aren't we proud to be democrats?
Aren't we REALLY proud to be democrats? (for those who think, "really " really really makes a difference).
After 35 years the dems have caused me to walk.
What, no seat for "Slick Willie"?
Also.... you people need to chill out on both the debate comments and the VP comments. There's plenty of time to pick a VP, and I'm glad that Obama is taking the time to make a good decision. As for people complaining why he hasn't debated McCain.. every election the debates start after the summer. This is perfectly normal. Don't worry McCain people... Obama will wipe the floor with McCain.. just like Ron Paul did... look up the republican primary debates and you'll see how Ron Paul schooled him. I'm by far not a Ron Paul supporter.. but compared to McCain... Paul is a genius, and the true straight talk express.
Phantom of the Opera well put as always....enjoy your well thought posts.
Why Jackson need to apologize?
He need to speak the truth.
You can’t hide the truth forever.
You can’t keep a good man down.
The truth will eventually come out.
Will we see traitors from the Obama side?
Is Obama traitor hero or heel?
Mr. Obama,
Please, please give us a speech that will stongly explain and support your economy policy.
We (UAS) need you to win this election.
To you non Obama people who are still peeved about Hillary,
GROW UP and if you are a true Democrat and want whats best for our country quit whinning, take off your diapers, put some grown up pants on and vote for Obama. Its our last chance.
Good point Mr. Oseki (Norway)...How many on-line Obama bashers are actually Republicans? The immaturity of some of the comments are astounding...
Please Senator Obama do not put Hillary Clinton
on your ticket. You do not need her or those sorry supporters.
Terry Mac is a slick oil salesman. These people are
not to be trusted.
Does anyone get the idea that PUMAS have never met a book they knew how to read? Or a political issue they understood? Look up the word "ignorant" in the dictionary and you're sure to read "see also: PUMA"
Please vote for Mccain you pathetic excuses for, ah, Democrats. And in lingo I'm sure you can understand, "don't come back now, ya hear."
Obama supporters... keep threatening Hillary with blame for the mess that Obama created.
That will move even MORE democrats over to the Republicans, or third party candidates.
IF obama loses... it will be his own fault for playing the race card, his campaigns fault for disrespecting the party's other candidate, the Obama supporters fault for their crude, filthy comments denigrating HRC and demeaning her supporters, and the DNC for capitulating and installing a weak, unqualified, inexperienced nominee.
The only winner out of all this is HRC. She is the only one who can legitimately HOLD her head high.
Hopefully to talk about the VP job. If she is on the ticket, democrats could have the White House for 16 years
Yeah, right Clinton soreheads. Vote for McBushbot into the whitehouse so you can pay $7 or $8 for a gallon of gas, have a never-ending war that costs US tax payers a fortune and worse of all 4 more years of Satan incarnate-Cheney using tax payer's money and our troops to set up business in Iran.
This isn't a popularity contest. This is about the future of this nation. Its obvious you all don't care anything about this country at all.
If McCain wins – you deserve what you get.... and I suppose you will be whining about that too. You guys are sadly pathetic.
She should spend more time with him. His campaign spends so much time apologizing and explaining what it means when it speaks , she may have to step into the nomination!
The vitriol of Hillary supporters who say they'll "never vote for Obama," just goes to show why it wasn't good for the Democratic primary season to go on as long as it did.
Despite the claims of the Hillary camp that people were "excited" and that it would benefit Democrats in the fall to have her continue "until every vote is counted," what we're seeing is weakened Democratic prospects due to a festering allegiance to a candidacy that was realistically out of the running by the end of February. Had HRC backed out then, we wouldn't be seeing this poisonous fanaticism now.
Hey Haters for Obama... have you STILL not learned that hating fellow democrats will not win their hearts or their votes?
Obama supporters... You keep threatening Hillary with blame for the mess that Obama created. How silly is that?
That will move even MORE democrats over to the Republicans, or third party candidates.
IF Obama loses... it will be his own fault for playing the race card, his campaign's fault for disrespecting the party's other candidate, the hateful Obama supporter's fault for their crude, filthy comments denigrating HRC and demeaning her supporters, and the DNC for capitulating and installing a weak, unqualified, inexperienced nominee.
Black may be the in color, but it is NOT a qualification for office of the presidency.
The only winner out of all this is HRC. She is the only one who can legitimately HOLD her head high. She was the REAL DEAL for all Americans... not some trumped up Oprah media production.
Both Bill and Michelle better be alert.
Well I don't think Bill cares if Hillary makes late night visits with Barack.

I'm very honest in saying this. I am an Obama supporter & a 50+ white female. I would be the FIRST to bristle at any perceived sexism & I read/follow the political news appr 6 hours a day. I TRULY don't remember hearing anything awful from the Obama camp – perhaps a mention about "pantsuits" but Hillary joked about them too. WHERE is this hate, etc. that these posters are talking about? My acid test always is – if a Martian landed & you gave him/her the facts, what would he/she think? Bill & Hillary's comments (he's not a Muslim, as far as I know.../ Jesse Jackson, etc) were far more inflammatory than "pantsuits" comments. I DO think Hillary was a much better campaigner (not necessarily CANDIDATE) at the end – I regained admiration for her. But the primary wasn't "hers" just as it wasn't Barack's.
I just don't get the "cut off your nose to spite your face" that's going on. As they BOTH have said, they're 99% the same on policy. I believe ANY winner will be a one-termer. Our problems are just huge & the vast majority of the electorate will be impatient, forgetting that it took Bush 8 years to get us here. So she just has to sit tight (as I think she's figured out...) and she'll be a "shoe in" in an election or two. And she'll, in the meantime, become an unbeatable stateswoman.
This ISN'T the time to sit home/vote McCain. We have the Supreme Court, Iraq, the economy to deal with. REAL Democrates won't lose sight of those factors.
As I've found in life, sometimes you win & sometimes you lose. But we can STILL all win if we get behind the Democratic nominee.
Or are you posters just McCain people trying to stir things up?
Back off you HRC haters...
Every nasty, negative blog causes one more democrat to defect from this hateful disgusting, infauated with Pop stars, party.
You are doing Obama no favors by trashing Hillary. Too many of us Love her and love our democratic process to allow you all to trash and destroy either.
I thought this argument was over. Let it go, man! Obama is the nominee. Get some sleep.
If Obama keeps flip-flopping, he will need Hillary more than ever. The liberal left is angry, Jesse Jackson is showing the growing anger in the black community as Obama continues to turn his back on issues that matter( yes, Jackson may have been caught by an open mic, but does anyone believe he did not believe what he said). Obama needs to drop the attitude and talk to the American people. His inexperiance is showing and soon I believe many democrats will be wishing for Hillary. This democrat will not support Obama until I get a clear answer and a real understanding of him and his policies. We do not need another John Kerry. Clinton may be Obama's only hope.
You want 20 dollar gasoline, depression and war with Iran? Vote Hobama.
Guess they only got 100 thousand from the donators. She can't afford to fly other than with Obama to tonights begging session.
Jesse Jackson tells the truth and apologizes. lololol. The truth sometimes outs.
McCain 08
So it's pretty clear form the comments here that he shouldn't help pay off her debts when all of her "supporters" are so angry and are going to vote for McCain. If these are truly her supporters, he should just move on.
I CAN GUARANTEE THAT THE BLOGGERS WHO ARE TALKING ABOUT HOW BADLY HILLARY WAS TREATED ARE ACTUALLY REPUBLICANS POSING AS HER SUPPORTERS, AND NEVER DID VOTE FOR HER. A GENUINE HILLARY SUPPORTER WOULD NOT TAKE THAT ANGLE BECAUSE THEY REALIZE THAT HILLARY AND HER BASE ATTACKED OBAMA EVEN WORSE. HE TREATED HER WITH RESPECT. We are not electing democratic supporters into office, we are electing a candidate. I am for Obama, and had Hillary won, then I'd suck it up and support her. Quit being fooled by the rep machine – most Hillary supporters are on board w/ Obamastar.
As a republican I can say that the Obama supporters have been MOST helpful.
The more they hate their own... the more lifelong democrats decide to leave the party and give Old McCain a look.
Thanks for the help.
Obama will lose this on his own. People don't vote for guys who make speeched FOR a person that vote for the candidate. Obama is too far Left and it will easy to expose that for the Republicans no matter what Bill or Hillary say.
YES WE WILL!!!
Keep on hating... all you for 'Bro befor Ho'...
And then it will be OUR turn to sing: ANYbody but THIS bro and his very ugly Ho.
Wow isn't the new democratic party inspiring?
Don't you love all the bigotry and hate Obama inspired?
Aren't we a sight?
WHO wouldn't vote for a democrat after the bandwagon, the Pop star production, the race-baiting spectacle, the political raping of the female candidate, the crude filthy strategies to install a puppet nominee.
Good for them. It's too bad they had to go through a bruising primary to get to this point, but I think the sum of them is even greater than its parts.
The democratic party is lucky to have both Clinton and Obama fighting for us.
McCain, on the other hand, is a nasty, ornery, unappealing, overconfident fraud with stale ideas and a destructive agenda. And his supporters masquerading as "Pumas" are no better.
This is getting to be STUPID.
HILLARY FOR VP...OR NOBAMA...NO MONEY FOR OBAMA...AND NO VOTES FOR OBAMA.
Amen, gary c. Some people vote with their egos and not their heads, though. Sen. Clinton was a strong candidate, as was Sen. Obama. I will tell the angry Clinton supporters what they would have told me if Sen. Obama had lost:
"Get over it and vote for the candidate who most closely share's your values". No Brainer.
Get over it PUMAs. Someone had to win and someone had to lose. The rules were the set before the primaries and the caucuses were the same when Bill Clinton won in 1992. You same people who complain about the caucuses weren't making a peep back then. Only when you lose all of a sudden the rules weren't fair. You are poor sports, poor losers. You sound worse than drunk fanatic football fans crying foul against the refs because their team lost. If the very clear primary rules were followed you would have lost by an even larger margin. But they were revised because you same people whined so much then and then you whine because they were not 150% in your favor. WHAAAAAHHHHHHH, WHAAAAHHHHH!!!!
The McCain campaign is paying bloggers to pretend to be Hillary supporters and create as much divisiveness as possible among Democrats.
Anyone who genuinely supported Hillary and her values will not be voting for McCain, not if they're informed and open-minded.
