Full Version: Michelle Obama and Hillary Clinton had lunch together.
Michelle is one class act. As a Hillary supporter i am happy they atleast had lunch because the press is hyping on that they dont like each other.

That's the point Obama lovers don't get. The press in pushing this bulls*** and thier eating it up. Tom Hartman is right on the money here. The media wants a close dog fight because they stand to make millions of dollars in advertising. The Obama supporters have own the primary and their still back-biting the Clinton. Where have I heard that..."On the TV". Don't ever think that the old "idiot-box" have lost it's ability to fool the masses.

I have been firmly behind Obama from the jump, but I have to tell you: if Hillary's campaign staff had just let her be herself -- the Hillary that has a nice disposition and genuinely cares about people -- and not try to create the impression that she was some kind of hard-ass half man/half woman, this would be her party.
If Hillary fans need to vent, anger at Obama is misplaced and misguided. The anger should be directed squarely at Penn and Wolfson.
That said, I'm sure she and Michelle had a lovely time, perhaps talking about the one thing they most definitely have in common: what the future will be like for their daughters.
I have nothing against Hillary. I hope she does the right thing. Like Nameless said, Hill should have dumped the people around her. She is somewhat at fault but her people inflamed all of this so-called hate. And Bill seems to be taking this whole thing so personal. But I think it will be OK. The media has so much fodder.

Don't paint all Obama supporters with the same brush. We know what the media is doing and we know why.
Besides, who comes to this very message board to stir up some shite between the Clinton & Obama fans....hmmmmm?

And who do you have on the idiot box - CLINTON AIDES ACTING LIKE IDIOTS!
Begala and Carville will whore themselves out to the corp media til the bitter end!
Between them, Bill and Hillary can't control these schmucks! Not a problem though - it's only the Dem neo-Con elite that are whining as Hartman and Sirota said this is a PROGESSIVE convention - Clinton days are over!

Obama's aides, already working to ease the ill feelings among Clinton's delegates, suddenly grappled with a second challenge when two well-known aides to former President Clinton said the convention speeches were too timid.
Paul Begala spoke dismissively of Warner's plans to go easy on McCain. "This isn't the Richmond Chamber of Commerce," he said.
"If this party has a message, it's done a hell of a job hiding it," James Carville told CNN as he reviewed the opening night's program.
If Obama's advisers had any reaction to the sniping, they kept it to themselves. The Illinois senator has cast himself as a different kind of politician, a "post-partisan" whose stock in trade is to forge a change in the way campaigns are conducted. Still, Obama has gone after Clinton and McCain sharply when aides thought it necessary.
"My inclination is you have to be careful about attacking McCain" because his life's story buys him deference, Tennessee Gov. Phil Bredesen said in an Associated Press interview. The Republican presidential hopeful was a prisoner of war in Vietnam for more than five years.
Dean, the party chairman, bristled at criticism from two of the men who helped put Bill Clinton in the White House.
"We don't need to attack McCain" at the convention's opening events, he said. "There will be plenty of time for that."

And look who's asking for more money, Begala for dccc:
Does he see his gravy train leaving him behind or what?

Mitt Romney, Rudy Giuliani, John Boehner – a motley crew of Bush-Cheney Republicans who have shown up here in Denver. And I don't think they came just for the Rocky Mountain air.
Can you really blame them? While we're all here to celebrate Barack Obama's plans to write the next great chapter for America in the 21st Century, those guys will be stuck next week at their convention having to celebrate the Bush-Cheney record and John McCain's plan to continue it for another eight years. Which party would you rather be at?
We can't let these Republicans rain on our parade. The world is watching our fundraising totals during this week as a measure of our chances to win. The DCCC has set a goal of raising $1 Million during the Convention. One million dollars. It's never been done before - but we're already halfway there. I need your help to put us over the top.
