Mutual Appreciation Day
June 07, 2008 4:48 PM
ABC's Kate Snow reports: While Sen. Hillary Clinton was thanking supporters and formally ending her bid for the Democratic nomination, the presumptive nominee, Sen. Barack Obama was watching it live on a computer via the internet, according to Obama campaign spokesman Bill Burton.
Burton said that Obama placed a call to his one-time rival following the speech but did not reach her immediately. Burton explained that her assistant informed Obama that she was speaking with supporters at the time.
Meanwhile, two new elements popped up today on both Democrats' campaign websites today. On the Obama website frontpage there is a prominent "thank you Senator Clinton" statement and an invitation to send Clinton an email of thanks.
It reads, "Senator Clinton made history over the past 16 months -- not just because she has broken barriers, but because she has inspired millions of Americans with her strength, her courage, and her commitment to causes like universal health care that make a difference in the lives of hardworking Americans.....Take a minute to thank her for her hard work and for supporting this campaign."
Meanwhile over on the Clinton campaign website homepage there is a new feature thanking her supporters and encouraging them to sign up to support Obama's campaign. It reads, "Support Senator Obama today. Sign up now and together we can write the next chapter in America's story."

mcCain can take a vaction because he will be elected president in 2008. The Republicans played the public and the Media like pawns saying Obama would be a problem. Yes Obama is a Problem for the Democrats now.
The whites in this country will vote like they do down south and will crush Obama in the General Election

No means no. I'm still not voting for him. Also, I'm registered as an independent, so I am not much concerned with this party unity rhetoric.
Country before party.

I'm an Obama supporter, but today I'm a Hillary fan. Her speech was very gracious and supportive of Sen. Obama. I not only signed the thank you note at Obama's website but also sent Sen. Clinton $50.00 dollars to help with her campaign finances.

I was just paid 2 cents saying Obama is the MESSIAH.

What a great speech she gave today. Not to pressure him or anything, but if he doesn't pick her for the VP spot, he's nuts. I can't imagine anyone stronger or more inspiring. I was so proud of her as a woman.

Yes we should of left Germany after WW2 so they could build a powerfull army again and launch military attacks against the world
We should of also let Japan build a military empire after we defeated them in WW2 so they also could bomb pearl harbor like the terrorist did on 9-11
I have no idea what i am talking about because i am a paid person of Obama staff

Obama is not an option for us. I, as a Hillary supporter, will leave the dmc party and vote for McCain.

At a sad time for Hillary supporters asked to come together and support Obama how could he not have the respect to at least take the time to follow this historic event?

No need to worry DemsUnited....
I can tell someone who have brains from those who are cyborgs waiting for Limbaugh and Hannity to give them their marching orders

Kerry
McCain was almost your VP ......

Who CARES what the Obama camp thinks???????????? He and his cult followers are toast come November
McCain '08, Clinton '12

The boos and THUMBS DOWN you've all seen when she announce her support for Obama, reflects how many millions not caught by camera saying the same thing, AT LEAST 30% of democrats will NOT be vote for Obama, he will NEVER be President. For 40 years, the Democratic Party only occupied the WHITEHOUSE THREE TIMES, one was Carter in the 70's next was President Bill Clinton in 1992 and 1996. I left the Democratic Party last Thursday, I'm now an Independent voter but will continue to be Hillary Clinton supporter forever. I will remember in November to vote for John McCain the next President of United States of America.

THANKS FOR EVERYTHING, SENATOR CLINTON…
YOU HAVE INSPIRED MANY WOMEN ESPECIALLY YOUNG WOMEN.
BUT THIS IS BIGGER THAN YOU, however,
WITH ALL DUE RESPECT I WILL NOT VOTE FOR OBAMA TO PROTEST NOT THAT YOU LOST, BUT THE WAY YOU WERE TREATED AND FORCED TO FIGHT WITH EVERY OUNCE OF YOU HAD FOR EVERY VOTE. YOU EARNED ALL 18 MILL VOTES., WHILE OBAMA COASTED ON THE SHOULDERS OF HIS SUPPORTERS and his votes were handed t him on a silver platter. I will not support this cocky, arrogant political opportunist and can't want till the Replicans start pounding him. I will do everything I can to encourage other HRC supporters to………
WRITE IN HILLARY……….. VOTE FOR NADER…….OR ……..UNLESS SHE BECOMES HIS VP.
VIVA HILLARY

To all you Obama fans out there, don't get too excited yet… You still have a LONG way to go to get to the White House.. As a Democrat, I most likely will not be voting in this election. It has nothing to do with being bitter over Hillary's defeat.. I just can not vote for a man with virtually NO EXPERIENCE for the most important job in the world. For our country's sake, and the world's sake, I hope that Obama, or McCain will be a good President, and if so I will vote for them in the next election..
But really, how can any of you support a man with no experience, who has not proven himself at all, for the President of the United States??
Posted by: kerry | Jun 7, 2008 7:07:50 PM
Guys,
As I have said in march that Obama is a moving train that Hillary mache[inery can not stop him from being the nominee, my word has come true.
I will say it today that Obama is going to be our next president.
He is the choosen one to bring us back to the world glory that we lost sometime ago.
I wll come back to this topic after 6th November to remind you lot that I told you so.
God bless America.

Who cares if black democrats are killing each other at the rate of 300 a day in this country because of policies Obama and his like created. Just vote for Obama because Oprah said so.
