Hillary, Barack, and Bill! Oh, My!

UPDATE from Obama camp sent to me earlier today when I was traveling:
“Senator Obama had a terrific conversation with President Clinton and is honored to have his support in this campaign. He has always believed that Bill Clinton is one of this nation’s great leaders and most brilliant minds, and looks forward to seeing him on the campaign trail and receiving his counsel in the months to come,” said Obama campaign spokesman Bill Burton.
What will the rabble write about now?
Clinton campaign chairman Terry McAuliffe assured CNN’s Candy Crowley
that former President Bill Clinton and presumptive Democratic nominee Barack
Obama will be discussing Clinton’s role in the campaign within the next
two days.“I believe that in the next 24 to 48 hours they will talk and off we
will go,” McAuliffe stated on Sunday’s Late Edition….
We’ve been through the blind quotes and anonymous sourcing many times before.
But who exactly benefits from postulating that the former POTUS has an ax to
grind with Senator Obama? The mind reels. Something tells me that the former President of the United States has better things to do than pout. Seriously, if Hillary can come out so strongly and graciously to support Barack Obama, who thinks her husband cannot?
Answer: only those who want to undermine the power of Hillary Clinton and her president husband.
It’s really been a disgrace lately, with far too many hack “journalists” speculating about what is surely spun for political fodder. Obviously, people either have too much time on their hands. Are too interested
in spinning news out of whole cloth. Or they just don’t want Obama and Clinton
to get along. You choose.
As for me, I’m at 39,000 feet again, so you all will have to ponder
it by yourself for a while. I’ll check it when I can.
For now, consider this an open thread. Try not to hurt each other and don’t mess up the place.
