The Audacity of Suicide?

| August 22, 2008

Barack Obama has some very real problems staring at him and he isn’t helping himself picking this fight.

The Politico is reporting that Barry never even attempted to Vett Hillary!

There’s one Democrat who would seem to have little or no chance of being picked by Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) to be his running mate – his former opponent, Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-N.Y.).

But it’s not for the reason you think.

Obama has often said, most recently on NBC’s “Meet the Press” on July 27, that Clinton “would be on anybody’s short list.”

But apparently not his.

“She was never vetted,” a Democratic official reported. “She was not asked for a single piece of paper. She and Senator Obama have never had a single conversation about it. How would he know if she’d take it?”

The official also said Clinton never met with Obama’s vetting team of Eric Holder and Caroline Kennedy.

And the official said she was never asked for medical records or for any financial 2008 information about her or former President Bill Clinton. The last information the couple has disclosed about taxes and financial holdings was for 2007.

Regardless of the reasoning for this decision; it was certainly disrespectful to the Clintons. And you can bet that the 18 million Democrats who voted for her will not be pleased either.

Being disrespectful to a fellow Democrat is not Barry’s biggest mistake. He just got up on hind legs against the Clinton machine!

This will not be pretty.

He not only didn’t bother to even give the appearance of seriously considering her, he seems disinterested in helping her with a mountain of debt. This is again something that Hillary supporters have noticed.

“He has provided her with a pittance compared to what the Clintons have given Obama,” prominent Clinton backer Lynn Forrester told the Times of London. “Her debt could have been cleared within 10 days. It’s ungracious.”

Does this explain the recent meeting between McCain supporters and Tony Rodham?

A brother of New York Sen. Hillary Clinton and local Democrats who backed her unsuccessful presidential campaign socialized privately Monday with a top surrogate of the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, Arizona Sen. John McCain.

The private gathering featured Carly Fiorina, Mr. McCain’s top economic adviser, and took place at the Dunmore home of political consultant Jamie Brazil, a longtime friend of Mrs. Clinton’s family who has signed on as paid national director of Mr. McCain’s Citizens for McCain Coalition.

If the Clinton machine has decided to try again in 2012, they will have to ensure that Barry is defeated this time. If they decide that course, Barry is going to take a beat down of Dukakis proportions.

Stay tuned, this can only get better.

If I were Obama, the thing I would fear most is a VP named Clinton. I’d hate to commit suicide in Rock Creek Park…

COB6 Unlike your Republican losers Dole and Bush1 Obama beat the “Clinton machine”.He’ll beat Mac with our without them but they’d best be careful if they want any meaningful future in the Dem party.

COB6 Your unrequited love for Hillary is dwarfed only by your previously documented distain for McCain.With all due respect you seem confused and delusional.

COB6 Wrote: I have never been a big fan of McCain and can prove it. I have also always loathed Hillary and can prove that too. Face it, you are in love with an empty suit. That must be painful but it’s not my fault. Next time you “quit” a blog, like you did this one last month, be man enough to stay quit.
