Obama Insists Clinton Was On Short List

Thanks for all this information, including the picture of a candidate on a platform in 2002 giving a speech in another country. More information will help me examine true/false and make the decision I need to make on that day I can't wait to come. I will save my energy, no fuss, no fight, for that day I walk to the poll station. Obama vs McCain. Is McCain right? Is Obama right? Hilary never on short list. Who is fooling who. Is it a Kennedy club? Who decides for Obama? Who will run America? Stop telling the media who you will vote for. Lets give a big surprise and put America first.

I don't believe that Clinton was ever on the short list! I think he is just lying to try and pull the women voting block in and it's not going to happen. You are mistaken if you think this is just about sour grapes over Hillary not getting the nomination. Our party doesn't have a theme or know what it stands for any longer. First, they went with prune face Kerry and he lost. Than they thought they'd go with an inexperienced black man because it was a novelty and what happened? They pandered to the right and now they pander to the middle. He is neck and neck with McCain. Oh yes, that was a great move! And, what about Biden? He has so many lobbyists money in his pockets that it isn't funny. And, he gets money from the credit card companies. The very thing that Obama said he would reform. What a joke!

Ms. Clinton true to form is
once again at it - displaying
her divisive, polarizing and
sour grapes personality.

Her self-hating, self-defeating
and churlish supporters are
absorbing the negative vibrations
she emanates and have become
self-alienated and hostile.

The only people that "disrespected" Hillary are the voters. More of them voted for Obama. Period. She and Bill ran an ineffective campaign in the final analysis.

Clinton was on Obama's short list of non-candidates.

Clinton 18 million
Biden less than 10 thousand

do the math

That headline does not match the content of the post. "I think you can draw that conclusion" is NOT "yes." Very carefully not "yes." Very Clintonian, Mr. Obama. Congratulations.

The Olympics was only the latest evidence that America is not as strong as she used to be. A communist country effectively used their rising middle-class to put on the greatest show ever AND win the most gold medals. There were just too few Moms and Dads like Michael Phelp’s or Shawn Johnson’s who’s sacrifice was enough to propel their kids to the top. The rest were too distracted by mortgage failures, medical expenses, gas prices and educational budget-cuts, all problems that grew during two+ decades of rising corporate tax-cuts and profits.

This election is possibly the last chance to save the working middle-class and everything it does for this country. It is unbelievable that many voters are still voting based on identity politics..."my vote will only go to such-and-such 'woman' or 'war vet' or "someone more like me" Wake-up America. The election is not a popularity contest. It is your future.

MSM is devoid of any sense
of respect for privacy. The
VP selection process was
conducted in a confidential
manner. The media should
simply let it go at that and
stop asking BO at every press
avail whether HRC was on his
short list.

And someone really should get Obama help for his immature passive-aggressive behaviors.

The 3 a.m. phone call is obvious even to the least observant.

Wonder which of America's enemies he'd push over the edge with a get-even stunt on the world stage?

Obama has a very difficult time making decisions, and an even worse time standing up for his decisions. America needs a leader - not a weak capitulator.

No wonder the party isn't united. It's pretty hard to unite the party when you dismiss someone who half the party wanted for president. He chose not to unite the party by leaving her off the ticket. That was clearly his choice.

"I answered a brief question...and that's all you're going to get...."

Sounds like: "And that's all I've got to say about that................."

Instigated by HRC and her
campaign advisors, her bitter
and cranky supporters are trying
to throw a monkey wrench into
the works. Bad sore losers.

There was a lot of bad 'blood' on this campaign. Clinton and former President Clinton would not an effective working relationship in the White House because of all these negativity that the Clintons brought up. Obama made a wonderful decision in selecting Sen. Biden.

The Clinton supporters that won't vote for Obama are people who have already made up their mind not to vote for Obama. It is interesting also to note that these people are not prepared to contribute to Hillary's Campaign debts if they are genuine. Otherwise they are republiccans disguised as Democrats.

Go Obama

What a liar. By the way, Jake, are you going to write about his "mentor's"(Emil Jones) latest "uncle Tom" comments? It's all over the news here-well in Chicago that is.

Unity, Unity, Unity. That's all Obama's campaign has been talking about since the primaries finished. Uniting the Party and drawing in the Hillary supporters.

And everyone claims that Obama is so smart.

Well, if that were the case, certainly he would have realized that the only way the Democratic Party would truly be UNITED would be if he picked Hillary as his running mate.

As usual, Obama was once again just paying lip service to holding high ideals, and then his actions show what a master of deception he truly is.

Whatever show is put at the DNC, is not going to erase the chasm that the Primaries created. To achieve unity, both sides need to work on it. Obama's recent actions in picking Biden shows his disregard of the will of 18 million voters.

Although I think she was treated shabbily by Obama, I'm just as glad that Hillary wasn't asked to be his VP. I really think it would be an intolerable mismatch.

What's interesting to me in this article is that Obama didn't definitively say that she (Clinton) was seriously considered for VP. He just danced around the questions. If the man stands for change he should've been honest and just said that he didn't want her as VP and give his reasons. I'm sure there are good political reasons he could come up without being insulting.

I shouldn't, but in a way I feel almost sorry for Hillary. But, if the shoe were on the other foot, I think she (or any politician in any party) would be doing the same stuff.

Any good up and coming third parties out there?

"6% of the Dem delgates wanted Biden, 28% wanted Hillary".

So ... over 90% of Democratic delegates are getting what they DON'T want on the vice presidency?

Wonder how many of the delegates are getting what they don't want on the presidency, and are afraid to vote to change it? Baaa. Baaa.

And now Clinton's agreed to a PRETEND roll call vote?? -- from politico.com:

"***BREAKING – AP's Nedra Pickler: 'Hillary Rodham Clinton and Barack Obama agreed Monday to limit a divisive roll call for president, giving delegates a brief but historic choice between a black man and white woman. The deal would allow some states to cast votes for both Obama and Clinton before ending the roll call in acclamation for the Illinois senator. Clinton herself may cut off the vote and recommend unanimous nomination of Obama, according to Democratic officials involved in the negotiations. "

If that's what's happening, it's not "democracy" at all, just a huge invitation-only gathering with celebrity political speeches, where American apparatchiks auction off the Democratic Party nomination.
