If we read this in the complete version will it say the exact opposite?

I read Michele Obama's comments a couple of weeks ago about Hillary, saying if she couldn't run her own house how can she run the WH? Is that not personal? (And how does Michele run her house, btw?) And Gen.McPeak's (an Obama advisor) comments that his candidate doesn't cry, in reference to Hillary in NH. And Obama rushing to pull out Hillary's chair after the debate (while needing some help himself in disconnecting from the microphone wires). Racist? No, Sexist.

Time for the rapacious Clintons to ease back and enjoy their booty--say, in the south of France. Why are the disgraced images of yesteryear still trying to browbeat us into believing their bilge-water. If they can change the trajectory that Reagan launched us on, then why the hell didn't they do so during their eight year stint? Their desire to re-enter the White House is not a call of service, it is one of self-aggrandizement and personal enrichment. The Clintons are clever politicians who have conned a lot of people into believing that they are really better than their real record shows. Bill came to office at a time when the rest of the world was with us and not against us. We still had a solid manufacturing base here. We still had the vestiges of a media that attempted to report news. We were not in the economic hole the Bush II criminals have put us into. The country was not as politically divided as it is today, where one group approves of the plainly destructive behavior of our leaders, whilst the majority of us are vehemently opposed to them. The so-called prosperity of the Clinton years was not enjoyed universally by all Americans. We need a new approach going forward. If we survive this petty dictatorship, then we will have to shore up our system, by returning to the Constitution, the rule of law, and making damn sure that some other bush-clearing weasel will no longer be allowed to steal the presidency and usurp our laws. We need honorable people as our leaders, not people who would sooner trash their party by creating rifts, rather that lose a fair fight. We need people who will be frank with us and admit their short-comings. We need people who will really mean it when they say that the use of force is the last resort. We do not need people who jump on bandwagons for the sake of popularity. And we certainly do not need another cheerleader for death and carnage.

More scraps from the Democrat Party regarding African-Americans!
Why in heavens name does Obama have to settle for VP in 2008?
Isn't that crap about Bill Clinton being the "first black president" enough of an insult!
This is just an effort by Hillary Clinton to deflect attention from the nasty racial innuendos she and her surrogates have injected into this campaign!

I watched the clip and I didn't get the impression that she wanted Obama on the ticket but was giving expression to the pride that Democrats felt at the CNN debate that we were witnessing history by electing the first woman or first African American president.

it's depressing, i feel we're in a lose lose situation. yikes, obama-richardson?
mccain is licking his chops now that edwards is out. dems are going to spiral down in the general election. history is made so far and that is all it is gonna go. :(

That certainly would be a dream ticket--a dream ticket for the Republicans to win in November. Clinton and Obama are polar opposites. One has a personality, the other is cold and calculating. One wants to make history, the other to re-write history. One is a member of the establishment, the other a threat to the establishment.

I will let you figure which is which, but Obama has said from the beginning "I am not running for vice president."

This is another Clinton game. Not quite sure about this guy? Vote for me and I'll make him my VP. Yeah, ok. She's been so very honest so far. Well, maybe there is some honesty there..she doesn't stand a snowball's chance without him.

Listen up. Obama will never EVER consider Hillary Clinton for VP. He is a man of integrity. She doesn't know the meaning of the word. There is absolutely no way he would ever consider running as her VP. First of all, Bill is the presumptive VP and everyone knows it. Secondly, he is in this to win... and he will.

Hillary Clinton is grasping at straws here. And she's playing games as always. If you haven't wised up to her by now, man, you are not paying attention. Talk about fairytales!

Obama reminds me of JFK, Clinton LBJ. I think the 1960 got it right....Obama President, Clinton VP.

No frickin way! Obama will be our President, and will choose a VP with integrity. That would not be anyone named Clinton! America cannot forget the disgusting and dishonorable smear attempts against Obama by the Clintons. They are liars and do not fit into an Obama administration in any capacity.

I agree that a Clinton/Obama ticket would be the best chance of securing the Whitehouse. However, I doubt that Obama will consider Clinton as VP, but I have no doubt Clinton would pick Obama. Obama seems to be running a campaign on 'anti-Clinton' sentiments, and I don't like that. In fact, yesterday he said that Clinton supporters will quickly fall in line with him, but NOT the other way around. I found that VERY offensive and presumptuous. I think the only way to assure a unified party is to ELECT HILLARY and then ensure she picks Obama. I fear Obama's arrogance (and anti-Clinton views) will splinter the party more than he knows.

One of the difficulties that Hillary has faced this whole campaign is that everything she or the former President has stated has been overanalyzed, critized, and opinded about while many of the remarks that Barack Obama and Michelle Obama has either been taken at face value or have not been discussed. An example of this is when Michelle was on CNN last night. She stated that Barack and her do not see politics as a game or as a sport and they will not do what others will do in order to be elected. Of course no one asked her or even brought up the Obama's campaigns use of Republican like tactics when it comes to Hillary Clinton's health care plan by using the "Henry and Louise" type literature, the mailers attacking Hillary over NAFTA when she was not even in the US Senate when it was passed, the radio ads in Nevada that said Hillary did not respect the Hispanic community, or even Barack himself saying that Hillary votes with Republicans when this is obviously not true. I also have to wonder why the press is so adapt to say that Hillary is willing to say or do anything to get elected and then show examples of this but does not look at what Obama or his campaign says or does and how this is done in order to be elected as well.

This trial balloon by the sagging Clinton campaign is just a dirty trick to try to get people who like Obama to vote for Hillary. Undecided voters, don't be fooled. Clinton will never pick Obama as VP. You DO have to choose... and the clear choice is Obama. She's saying this to try to convince undecided voters that by voting Clinton you would still get Obama. WRONG. This is a last-minute desperation tactic by the Clinton campaign. They know people like Obama better than Hillary and they're trying to capitalize on it. Period.

Obama is not ready to be president, and not even going to pull this off. I would love to see a qualified candidate whose efforts support his hype... I'm black and frankly any white candidate with the same credentials and campaign would have been out of the race months ago.
Sad that Americans are so thirsty to jump on risky bandwagon.

Obama doesn't need Hillary, but Hillary sure needs Obama. He is a very real threat to Clinton and gaining ground daily.

Hillary will spin a dream ticket that's for sure. She is desperate to look good and genuine. Good Lord some people will look at the picture of the 2 of them and think it is a real possibility. Another bad lead by Wolf Blitzer...should not have been asked.

Obama clearly stated it was too soon to presume anything. Hillary didn't really comment at all, not that he would have her as VP or serve under as VP. Have you seen Obama playing up a dream ticket? Give me a Break!

Besides, she can't have Obama as VP...SHE WILL BE BILL'S VP.

I will "never" vote for Hillary. And I've never in my seventy years voted for a Republican, but.....

What's the basis for your claim of the "intense dislike the two candidates have for one another?" If this is your opinion or "gut feeling" that's fine, but you preface the claim with "make no mistake" as if this is an irrefutable and proven fact. If you're reporting the "conventional wisdom" about a matter, than say so explicitly, otherwise you're just engaging in pointless mind reading.

If you think barack Obama can stand up to Republican easily, think again.

I wonder why US news doesn't report at all.

I can't believe that you people do really trust the Clintons. Didn't you have enough of that Bush-to-Clinton games which Washington played and still wish to play on you? It is time for change.
