Obama: Clinton and I Will Be Working Together in Nov.
ABC News’ Sunlen Miller Reports: On the eve of the last presidential primaries, Democratic frontrunner Sen. Barack Obama praised his party rival, yet focused almost exclusively on the presumptive Republican nominee while campaigning in the general election state of Michigan.
"Senator Clinton has run an outstanding race, she is an outstanding public servant,” Obama said at a town hall in Troy, Michigan, adding "she and I will be working together in November" though he gave no details as to what that relationship would be.
Obama’s talk of Democratic unity – and of the idea that Clinton and Obama would be working "together" – solicited one of the largest applause lines from the audience of 2,000.
Obama was quick to switch his remarks to Senator McCain – focusing his criticisms of the presumptive Republican nominee on the economy – in an middle class area of Michigan plagued by home foreclosures.
"Senator McCain wants to double down on the Bush economic plan," Obama said before rattling off a list of the differences between himself and McCain, suggesting that the Arizona senator supports "deals that work for Wall Street, but not for Main Street."
"Rather than reforming an unfair tax system and offering the middle class some relief, he’s offering more tax loopholes for corporations and the wealthy we just can’t afford. Rather than making health care affordable for every American, like I’ve proposed, he’s offering a health care plan that puts coverage at risk and that’s designed for folks who are already healthy and able to afford health care at any price. And rather than standing up for robust trade that works for all Americans, as I do, he’s supporting more trade deals that work for Wall Street, but not for Main Street."
Obama said that McCain – like Bush – has been too focused on pursing the Iraq war that they have lost sight of domestic problems at home.
Senator Obama will stop by a shift change at a Rite Aid distribution center later today in Michigan in an attempt to woo the blue collar vote in a state Obama will vie heavily for in the November general election.

see dems not to worry the party will unite its just that things have to calm down all the emotions have to settle i have faith hillary will unite the party just remember hillary and obama are almost the same in their views a little different but the same hey do you think he might be thinking about making her vp with that comment

feminists wont vote for you because you beat their candidate, i hope you do what people have suggested you are offering her a cabinet position to oversea health care,
wonder if theyll still vote for mccain out of spite and throw away universal health care
Posted by: bhrandon | June 2, 2008, 3:37 pm 3:37 pm
She’s not going to take any cabinet position, get real! That would be considered a step down from her position as a Senator. Learn the system.

I strongly believe the super delegates will change mind, to switch to Hillary.
Every time, when people do things in hurry, they make mistakes.
If the super delegates are in hurry to make endorsement, they will make mistake, and this mistake is huge, it will drag the country to the wrong direction, and for many years, it will be more difficult for future president to make correction.
So, do right thing at the beginning.

Look you guys.
I have been the biggest Hillary supporter this whole time.
But Obama is going to be the nominee. There is no more point whining about it.
As much as the Obama supporters on the bloggs have been simply immature and short sighted in their scathing remarks about the 42nd president and HIllary, lets congratulate Senator Obama.
However, that said.
If Obama doesnt offer the VP spot to Hillary, I am simply voting for John Mc Cain.
If he runs with hillary, or she rejects the VP spot, I will vote for Obama.
Posted by: dummies | June 2, 2008, 3:50 pm 3:50 pm
I vote for HHS so she can make a second chance at getting the health plan passed;It is something she has indicated she is very passionate about and I think she would like to be the one who makes it happen. I think this would be an excellent move to include Hillary in Obama’s cabinet. I like John Edwsrd’s for Atty Gen’l. Barack also has to consider including some Reps. or Inds. who can “play nicely” in the cabinet to show true inclusion. And it seems Jim Webb would make the best VP choice for this campaign.Not to get ahead of myself, but if Barack gets elected for a
second term, he should really consider Kathleen sebelius, Claire McCaskill or another credible VP candidate so as to put in place a real opportunity for another credibel female to run for Prez. in 2016.

She can do more to stay the Senator of New York than to have a cabinet position. Sitting in his cabinet wouldn’t be very good for her any way. By a slim chance that he could win he would be another Jimmy Carter and she would be wise to steer clear of that mess and hold out for 2012.

If Obama selects Clinton as his VP, he will chase away many of his core supporters who voted, donated, and campaigned for him. Offer her a supreme court position. That would cool her big ego (a life time position).
As stated in another post, Obama doesn’t need all of Hillary supporters to vote for him (just look at the current Obama v. McCain polls.) He just needs a small percentage of those who claimed they would vote for McCain to come to their senses and vote for him.

Republicans posing as hillary supportes aside, if Obama sticks hillary on the ticket, we will all come around.
This is the reality.
Hillary will NOT be president in 2009.
But Obama has to ACCEPT what has happened here. Not just : I win , lets move on.
You got 18mil clintons supporters who WILL make or break his president bid.
The ENORMOUS resources Obama would have to spend trying to win over the clinton supporters will simply give Mc Cain the white house.
All the republicans have to do is continually drive a wedge between the clinton and Obama supporters.
He cant just make hillary an ‘advisor’ .
He must offer her the VP spot or the Clinton supporters will defect to Mc Cain.
Even 10% of the blue collar democrats, women, seniors, and latino’s defecting to Mc Cain wins him the white house.

I think caucuses should be done away with but unlike the committee I do think they should count just as everyone’s. But if your counting the results of a low turnout caucus over a primary to get your BO to the WH you better think a little harder. Most of those caucus states are red any way.
Posted by: rockthebleachers | June 2, 2008, 4:09 pm 4:09 pm
Oh, yah…caucus states…diss the caucus states. IF Hillary had paid attention to those small caucus states, she would have probably won.
Axelrod and crew “out thunk” Penn, Ickes and crew…
If Hill had won in the caucus states, she would be lauding their excellence. Hillary and crew were complacent in the nomination and flat got beat early. It wasn’t until she began playing the “big ole press is so mean to little ole woman me” that she got the women all fired up…and until it looked like a black guy might win and people ran out to vote.
How the public rolls is so funny.
Posted by: HUH? | June 2, 2008, 4:10 pm 4:10 pm
“Senator Clinton has run an outstanding race, she is an outstanding public servant,” Obama said. Yes she has been working hard even when you were in college taking crack cocaine. She has been working hard when you were sitting in your church listening to “hate” sermons. America has lost one of the best opportunities to heal and bring about “real” change. Yes change will come with OBAMA but it will not be exactly what everyone is thinking will happen. It will be a grave disappointment to the thousands of blacks that supported him when they seen they fought so hard for a man that was not the best choice. I’m not sure where the 17 million Hillary supporters will do not (as she received more than half of the popular vote), but I for one will not and cannot vote for Obama on this ticket.
Posted by: Anne | June 2, 2008, 4:10 pm 4:10 pm
For the final time. The rules were set out at the begining. Everyone knew how the caucaus system worked. No one complained about it, until the Clinton campaign realized they had a real fight on their hands, beacuse they felt it would not make a difference.
The schedule favored Hillary as many states moved their elections fowarded and that favored a person with better name recognition in a condensed contest. However, it didn’t work out and the final blow was when the Clinton campaign had no answer from 2/6 to Pennsylvania. That was your margin of victory right there.

If everyone knew what they knew today back at Super Tuesday we would have a different candidate on the ballot and every Democrat would have voted for her and she would have won by a landslide. Now 17 million people think Obama unfit, so just let’s wait for November and see how this turns out. You cannot unite the party because more than half of the Democrats are really unhappy to Obama…the Democrats have just given the election to the Republican Party.

ROCK….exactly…if she had learned the caucuses she would have one, but she didn’t…if she has more money she would have won, if she had the black support from Babba’s run she would have won. You can shoot off any scenario, but it still comes up to the supers. She underestimated

Hey RockBleachers
Now Maine doesn’t count, too? Propaganda?
Maine Democratic Party Release
AUGUSTA – Sunday, across the State of Maine, voters weathered the sometimes stormy conditions to attend their local Democratic caucus. With more than 99% of precincts reporting, nearly 45,000 Mainers participated, giving Barack Obama 59%, 40% to Hillary Clinton and 1% remaining uncommitted. It is projected that 15 of Maine’s national delegates will go to Obama and 9 to Clinton……The message is clear: Mainers have seen what 8 years of Republican control looks like and they are ready for a change.”
Sunday’s Democratic turnout exceeded the previous record, set in 2004, by almost 28,000 votes…..the caucus goers who had to drive miles on snowy roads to those who waited patiently in line in freezing temperatures; today we saw the dedication and passion of Maine people. Regardless of who the nominee is, today’s results show Maine’s devotion to the ideals and values of the Democratic Party.”

I know there have been democratic nominee fights before for the nomination and the party has had to heal and sometimes the fight has not been resolved until the convention. However, this feels different. Maybe it is the access to the internet, the influence of the media, but something has happened this time and I don’t think it can be fixed for a lot of people, at least not enough to salvage the GE. Obama is a weak candidate. I can’t believe that the democratic party is nominating someone who has belonged to a church for 20 years which preaches black liberation theology, which is all about black people and how they have been victimized. While some of that is true, at some point in life we all have to quit the blame game. How can we elect a president who participated at any level in this belief. Women are being mistreated all over the world today, and yet we were all told how historical it would be to have a black president, when it would have been just as historical to have a woman as president. Obama has associated with very extreme individuals in Chicago. He is very inexperienced and will have to learn how to transition from a local figure to a national figure. Who is going to be his handler in the WH? He obviously doesn’t want Hillary as his VP, even though she has, at the very least, earned that spot and it should be hers to say no to. He isn’t the uniter he pretends to be and he is actually a very tough politician. For some altruistic notion, the democrats/independents are about to nominate a candidate who most likely won’t win the general election and I think most of the party leaders know it. It gives one a lot to think about.
Posted by: Susan | June 2, 2008, 4:34 pm 4:34 pm
Any Hillary supporter who will vote for McCain was never really a Hillary supporter in the first place. They were only supporting her because she is a woman.
Obama’s policies are very much in line with hers–and McCain is a different animal.

Hillary’s Exit Strategy:
1. Determine how much I loaned my campaign.
2. Determine how much I owe vendors.
3. Bilk die-hard, gullible supporters for more contributions.
4. Recoup my campaign loan.
5. If any funds remain, kick it down to the hard working little people (vendors).
6. Restore my NY reputation with spin, victim cards, and more spin.
7. Save face on the way out by blaming others.

Hillary supporters need to keep a list of the super delegates in your state who are current elected officials and work to vote them out next time. At prime one to go in Florida is that Wexler. He’s a typical politician who wouldn’t say yes or no on whether he would accept full votes for Florida.
Posted by: tiredtoo | June 2, 2008, 4:53 pm 4:53 pm
You are wrong. I wasn’t always a Hillary supporter, but I was always opposed to Obama. Hillary grew on me. I am a moderate democrat and he is way too liberal. I think he is inexperienced and what little I know about him frightens me. His willingness to meet with foreign leaders, like Iran, without preconditions is really stupid. We are in a very grave time right now and I don’t want someone who is naive and learning on the job. Also, not crazy about a democrat who doesn’t recognize that you don’t refer to woman you don’t know as “sweetie”. If someone running as democrat doesn’t know that much about political correctness, how will he offend leaders of foreign countries. He is also an “apostate” to muslims and I don’t think that will help. Plus he seems to say different things to different audiences. Bottom line – I don’t trust him and he scares me.
Posted by: Susan | June 2, 2008, 4:57 pm 4:57 pm
Wexler has been promised a position in the Obama WH. If he wins, the WH is going to be awfully full of people he has to pay back. The governor of AZ has already said she is expecting a job in Washington. Right now Obama has a problem with Richardson and the VP slot. Can’t have two minorities on the ticket, and Richardson didn’t help him with the latino/hispanic vote, yet he promised his the job as we all know that is what Richardson wanted. How many others are there?
Posted by: Susan | June 2, 2008, 5:01 pm 5:01 pm
IF you begin to look, really look, at all the negative attached to Hillary and Bill, they are huge.
It is just that with Barack you have some different scandals and they seem so new. Isn’t it sort of sad that all the Clinton scandals both known and largely unknown right now, are just being overlooked?
The difference between the positions of the two candidates is minute on most policies.
Why are the negative points of Barack versus the negatives of the Clintons and McCain so much worse?
Answer: They aren’t.
So you have to look at the real reason so many have their knickers in a twist about Obama.
I don’t think most of you will need to look too deeply.

I, along with numerous voters.,will definitely vote for Obama. I have no words to describe the disgust I feel over Senator Obama’s horrible and unfair treatment by much of the media and the Clinton campaign with its vicious supporters. Clinton’s supporters always scream “sexism” anytime Clinton’s suitability for the presidency is questioned, yet have no qualms in poking fun at Senator Obama.
This bosnia incident is yet another example of who Clinton really is: a hypocrite, a liar, and a sexist. she is also extremely arrogant and brings a lot of division. If she gets the nomination, she will surely lose to McCain.
Clinton and all of her silly supporters are such cry-babies, always screaming “sexism” everytime anyone questions Clinton as a suitable candidate for the highest position in the US. This Irish claim is just another example of how Clinton is NOT what she presents himself to be. There is NOTHING special about Clinton. She is extremely arrogant, inexperienced, she’s a racist, a hypocrite and a traitor, and oh yeah, also a sexist. I can only imagine the uproar if it would been MacCain the one to bring up kennedy’s assassination like Clinton did. How can I vote for someone that ditched her campaign manager Patti Solis Doyle just to get more votes??? How can anybody trust such a hypocrite? Although I do not agree with Solis Doyle’s views, I feel sorry for her for being so humilitated and discarded by Clinton simply to get more votes. It is so apparent that the only reason Clinton has gotten this far is because she is a white woman . Clinton has gotten almost ALL of the white female vote. If that is not blatant sexism , I don’t know what is. Her supporters treat her as if she were their long-awaited Messiah. And her speeches? Oh please: Blah, Blah, Blah, solutions, blah blah, solutions, blah, change, blah, blah BLAH… I am so sick of the word “solutions”!!!!!!!! Well, Clinton supporters, “solutions” is NOT necessarily a good thing. Clinton has the huge potential to “solve” this country’s dire situation from bad to worse. I, along with MILLIONS of voters do not trust Clinton and WILL NOT VOTE FOR HER.

how dare you so called “democratic americans” threaten the rest of america with your selfish and foolish threat to vote for mccain? what you threaten to do is nothing short of terrorism! to do this would be an irrational and utterly disasterous crime of passion. if you are truly americans, democrat or otherwise, vote for the sake of america.
this administration has sold us all out and mccain IS positioned to continue with our fleecing!
don’t let your emotions get the best of you! i know you have your doubts and personal reasons but, for the sakes of all who live and love peace and prosperity, vote obama…and when you say God bless america, remember God often works in mysterious ways. ways we may not recognize. looking at what has transpired over the last 7+ yrs, i do belive in my heart and consious mind that God is once agian hiding a blessing in the form of man that you would, foolishy not accept because of flawed and negatively tinged reasoning…though you may not believe it..don’t blow it for the rest of us.

However, our government has been hijacked by people who serve only THEIR own interests and the special interests that fund them.

There has not been one instance of buyer’s remorse among the superdelegates that have endorsed Obama. There has been on Clinton’s side and many switched to Obama. So, don’t count on it that any will defect to Clinton.
This has been a long race, so this notion that superdelegates chose Obama hastily is nonsense. Maybe the contrary is true because they hastily endorsed Clinton before primaries even began and later had to switch because their State went for Obama, or because her campaign tactics were too ugly for them.
Any woman who says she will vote for McCain should know that he holds women in very low regard, even calling his wife a c*nt and a trollop in public. He is not a decent human being.

Hillary as VP is problematic, for Hillary. Though not necessarily bad, it would be conceiding that she will not attempt to run again until 2016, as she would be running against her own incumbant. Now, that might be a great prospect for America, but we don’t get much say in that. The key points now are how well they and others work on healing some of the anger and bitterness. Hopefully, reality will set in and the real chaos-mongers will be stuck jawing with themselves. Its time, one way or another, to make is simple…US or THEM. Personally, I don’t care which, as I plan to move to Canada. :-)

So…these people loves Hillary also.

Unless the voting machines can be independantly audited, how can anyone really win? It is not a forgone conclusion that Obama wins partly because you can not poll in November until November. This buildup is an expensive tradition, if ever there was one but unless it is measured by 100% trusted machines – what on Earth does it achieve? Is McCain not more likely to benefit from invalid voting machine behaviours, if such were found to exist?
