Obama is From Mars, Hillary From Venus
June 03, 2008 11:55 PM
So you think Sens. Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton are having some communication issues, maybe?
At 11:06 pm ET Obama called Clinton's aide Huma Abedin and left Clinton a phone message, reports ABC News' Sunlen Miller.
Obama congratulated Clinton on her South Dakota win and asked that she call him back.
Later Clinton called him back, reports ABC News' Eloise Harper. They spoke very briefly and the the call dropped out. Clinton called him back and got his voice mail.

UPDATE: Obama left a second phone message for Clinton at 12:08 am.
UPDATE 2: At 12:18 am ET, Clinton called Obama back and they spoke. Obama reiterated his desire "to sit down when it makes sense to you." The Obama campaign characterizes Clinton's response as, "I'm sure that will happen."

As a soldier who has been to both Iraq and Afgan in less than two years to fight for this country. I am so ashame of how you all are acting on this bored. It sadens me that my brothers and sisters are dieing over there to fight for this country. On that was built on the blood of this country. however each of you are still looking at it as she or he black and white men. When those same enemies we are fighting over seas dont give a damm if we are black or white, men or women. As long as they kill an American they have served their purpose. Barack is the only one that Saw through the shields of why we are really in Iraq and As far as McCain goes ask him when he comes to Iraq who knows. Not the soldiers fighting the fight. But the ones that they have the cameras setting up around that set the table for the real soldiers. Huuuhhhhh

It was a woman who gave birth to Senator Obama, it was a woman who supported him to get into the Senate, and it’s a woman who is winning the popular vote NOW, so yes, she needs to offer Senator Obama a VP position; this way Senator Obama will have an opportunity to gain more experience. To act on your guilt now, may be too costly….
Both Senator Obama and Senator Clinton will be the Presidents, just in slightly different order. Allow American People the opportunity to get to know and observe the Obamas.
Remember that Superdelegates can and will change their positions by the end of August.

CONGRATULATIONS to Barak Obama. Against all odds spouted by self appointed prejudiced opinionated political analysts so called emanating from the kitchen strategy mass production theorist factory of the old school politics,who punched and crunched inflated and suspected polls to “authenticate” their predictions of a win by anyone else other than Barak Obama.
The Obama 08 political machine went into overdrive and there you are , Obama raced across the finishing line whilst the broken down kitchen sink strategy truck was pushed and shoved by half committed supporters tired of a long long race that had already been decided along time ago.
Now there is talk about this and that and the VP spot. Let the dust settle first. The Obama camp can pick their own Vp. They earned their right to do so. They don't need a losing party and self appointed disgruntled political analysts to dictate strategy to the Obama camp. Peace to all.Errol Smythe.

Obama as usual was classy, gracious, to both Hillary and McCain. What was so incredibly dispicable, was on the most historic night for African American people McCain was dismisve and claimed that Obama's victory was due to "party bosses" even though by the end of TONIGHT when all the votes all counted even with all the "cheating" he still would have won more states, won THE POPULAR VOTE, AND YES THE DELEGATE COUNT. This was Obama's night he played fair and square, and to not let him enjoy it was sicking. Btw I am an Irish American woman and I remember when Kennedy was elected. McCain, showed no respect for Obama and the historic nature of what happend tonight, HRC seemed to grin and bear it but couldn't bring herself to accept the obvious. I am a woman and I just expected more from this "experienced" genereation. Seeing the young and the old in Obama's crowd made me proud to be an American. McCain and HRC, should be ashamed of themselves.

Obama has proven once again that he will take the HIGH road and the nation saw a clear difference in our candidates last night during back to back to back speeches, I wish that McCain and Hillary could have done the same on this HISTORIC DAY for all of our candidates and our nation instead of the need to feed in to the negative polarizing politics that the media has played over and over and over and politician feed to the weak minded, but it just goes to show you that it’s a clear case old school V.S. the new generation of voters. America is "TIRED" it’s time for a new road to be paved and AMERICA in all its colors can see threw all of the negative politics...and if McCain’s not careful it will come back to bite him in the ass just like it did Hillary...

Tracey.
saudi arabia paid bill to give a speech (1m) then tried to by our ports with Bill Clinton as its cheer leader shot down by other dems.
Colombia pays him almost a million and then has he and his wife push through their free trade ageement
Funny money !
Posted by: Kate | Jun 4, 2008 3:37:36 AM
I can't believe people have actually paid that much to listen to Bill over the past few years.
What does he do? Spew diamonds as he speaks?
Posted by: Tracey | Jun 4, 2008 3:33:56 AM
OKAY GUYS: HERE'S WHY HILLARY'S V-P DESIRES REMAIN JUST THAT - DESIRES (From Bloomberg):
"If she were considered as vice president, her husband, former President Bill Clinton, might have to release all records of contributions to his foundation and presidential library and agree not to give paid speeches, according to a person close to the Obama campaign.
Major Impediment
That could prove a major impediment to her being selected. Bill Clinton, who has made some $52 million from giving speeches over the past seven years, has said he won't disclose details on past contributions, only those going forward. "

Isn't Hillary running up debt a metaphor for how our current economic condition, running up debt? She would definitely balance the budget, by writing another book.

OBAMA RAISED A RECORD $250 MILLION.
Hillary for all her experience is deeply in debt.

Obama is a game-master!
So, his phone went dead after a brief moment and the unsuspecting Hillary called back and just talked to his voice mail.
How typical of him to be so nice one moment and change the next.
His warning about "republicans will dig up a load of dirt on her" right after all the chuminess shown in Calif.

Phony I think you need to sleep. You are attributing Hillary's lines (she of my baggage-has -been -rummagedthrough fame)to Obama
Posted by: Zack | Jun 4, 2008 3:23:33 AM
phony...don't do a write in, it will amount to nothing unless all 18 million do it. Don't vote indie....VOTE McCAIN TO KEEP OBAMA OUT OF WH.
Posted by: Debra | Jun 4, 2008 3:23:31 AM
Typical of Obama game-playing.
Pretend to be nice and talk with Hillary and then phone went dead on Obama's end. When poor Hillary who is too straight to know the games called back, she could only get his voice mail.
Obama is skillful in putting up a totally different appearance than what he really is inside.
After he showed such respect and friendliness with Hillary in Calif debate, he scared the public by saying "the Republicans will dig up a load of dirt on her."
That is the moment of epiphany for me to realize what kind of phony Obama is.
ALL SHOULD WRITE IN HILLARY IN THE NOV. BBALLOT.
