Well at least she finally answered the freaking phone....

[mcctatas]

"They speak, but don't plan a meeting


Carrie Budoff Brown reports that Clinton and Obama talked a few minutes ago, at 12:16 a.m., Obama spokesman Robert Gibbs said.

Obama reiterated his offer to "sit down when it made sense for you."

She thanked him for the call, but they made no plans to meet Wednesday"

There is something seriously wrong with her!!!!

[Muttocracy]

1. maybe she has a campaign stop in Canada or Mexico for more popular votes?

:shrug:

[scarletwoman]

3. Don't forget Poland!

[Genevieve]

14. maybe Bosnia !?!

[Ikonoklast]

28. And go up against those snipers again??

Are you freakin' kiddin' me? This time, they might throw donuts!! Weeeeeeee!!!

[DRoseDARs]

30. I hope she eats a little lunch, I hear those corkscrew landings are rough...

...and a heavy meal can weigh you down while dodging sniper fire. Or snark.

[busymom]

2. Maybe she just needs a day or two

to grieve and then prepare to move on. Get over it and give her a day or two.

[scheming daemons]

It's not like it was "all of a sudden" for her... she knew this weeks ago.....

[DeschutesRiver]

23. If she didn't see this coming

she certainly hasn't the ability to run a country. For pete's sake, what a freaking weak link.

[Jersey Devil]

47. She knew it since Wisconsin at the latest

It's not like it came down to last night's races and suddenly she found herself behind

[dorktv]

20. of course not, she needs to immediately give in and support Obama with her delegates, her money

and everything else the Obama supporters demand.

[Muttocracy]

33. what money?! he should avoid her debt.

[Kool Kitty]

26. Give her a day or two.

You know what's funny? If the shoe were on the other foot here, and she was the first woman to get the nomination for President and Obama didn't congratulate her, the Hillary supporters would be upset. This is historic. She could have been the bigger person and mentioned it in her speech. She congratulated him for running, not for winning. Would they have wanted to give him a day or two?

[MercutioATC]

29. Have you considered that if she needs "a day or two" to grieve when something bad happens...

...she might not be a great choice for President?

[Mimosa]

41. Amen, Mercutio.

[JVS]

48. "a day or two" to grieve at 3AM!

It's good that she lost

[alphafemale]

49. Same as if she has bad judgement when she's "tired."

Which was Bill's excuse for her for a number of gaffes.

Hey Bill, I wouldn't give someone who had "bad judgment when tired" the keys to my friggin' CAR.

Please exit graciously.

[Douglas Carpenter]

45. only 12 hours ago, I was arguing that she really was not that bad and

that perhaps the V.P. slot for her was not such a bad idea after all.

In fact I spent almost three hours working on that post and compiling the argument in a both accurate and convincing way:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=132x6251816

But the crass and vulgar stunt she pulled last night demonstrated a level of immaturity and irresponsibility - that is truly breath taking.

I'm afraid she burnt a lot of bridges last night. And many of those who were ready to give her a break find sustaining that argument impossible.

[Jersey Devil]

46. I can go along with giving her a day or two, but

she still could have been much more magnanimous in her speech. For one thing, she never recognized Obama as the presumptive nominee, but that is only a small slight. More importantly, the "what does Hillary want" part and saying she was "making no decisions tonight" sounded to me like a threat to give her the veep slot or else.

If that was her intention she once again got terrible advice because now, if Obama was inclined to make her his veep, he will look like he capitulated to her threats and will be weak as president. She made it impossible for him to choose her now as veep, the complete opposite of what she wants (and clearly she does want to be veep based on yesterday's campaign leaks and Lanny Davis' silly 'petition').

[VolcanoJen]

4. Maybe she just needs a day or two

To raise as much money as possible from her remaining diehards. :shrug:

[Muttocracy]

9. and figure out how to go about paying staff and other bills?

[still_one]

5. There sure is /nt

[PassingFair]

6. She will take it to the convention.

I'm beginning to dislike her.

[VolcanoJen]

16. No, she won't. That's just bluster and noise.

She's taking it to the point where she feels she's collected the last bit of dough she can suck out of her diehards. And then she's quitting.

[PassingFair]

25. Hell, I will give her money if she will go away!

I really will.

[VolcanoJen]

27. Hmmmm.

Maybe we should set up a JUST GO AWAY fund. Seriously. Walkin'-around money. I'm down.

[mamalone]

38. Count me in!

:)

[onehandle]

7. Moments like this are scripted. Welcome to Politics 101. nt

[mcctatas]

15. Gee...

in all of my political science classes, the 2 campaigns I've worked on and my graduate level class in managing political campaigns, we never got around to the strategy that uses "Bitter, mean and batshit crazy" as it's baseline :shrug:

[VolcanoJen]

19. sweet pwnage

:thumbsup: mcctatas!

[libnnc]

21. I just snarfed a bite of my dark chocolate bar

...meanie *cough*. :rofl:

[Ikonoklast]

32. That's gonna leave a mark.

Owwwies.

[onehandle]

43. You didn't say I was wrong. nt

[mcctatas]

50. I didn't realize I was dealing with someone who cannot read

between the lines, OK, You Are Wrong!

Better? :shrug:

[ruby slippers]

8. Dan Abrams called her deranged...could that be it?

[sandnsea]

24. Seriously??

I turned it off because he's usually kissing her butt. He really called her deranged tonight??

[mamalone]

39. Man-o-man, I'd like to see a clip of that!

There wouldn't happen to be a linky anywhere? For my viewing pleasure... not doubting you in the slightest:)

[MattNC]

10. speaking at AIPAC

is more important I suppose

[WillYourVoteBCounted]

11. well she thought it was the "repo" man calling

when she checked and her cars were safely hidden behind the mansion,
then she answered the phone.

[Colobo]

12. Hillary is harming the party.

[Genevieve]

17. Totally.

[az chela]

18. and has been for months.Bill is just as bad

[dorktv]

34. Because having 34 million votes in a primary is a BAD thing

and apparently when Senator McCain gets interupted for her speeches is ALSO a bad thing.

Y'all need to take a tea break. There is damage and then there is damage.

2004 was damage. 2008 is gravy train baby!

[az chela]

13. Obama needs to just kick her to the curb where she

can trip over her ego!!!!!!!!!

[marimour]

22. I thought she would show class tonight. She wont get the nom in 2012, 16 or ever w/ her actions

[uppityperson]

31. It wasn't 3 AM.

[Oak2004]

35. She appears to be too busy delivering bottled hot water to dehydrated Republicans

or whatever else it is that brings the GOP great comfort.

[mcctatas]

36. What was up with that anyway?

He doesn't even make sense anymore...

Crazy old McCain :crazy:

[Oak2004]

37. He's probably now having his speeches written by

Bush's speechwriters ;)

[Mimosa]

40. Obama reiterated his offer to "sit down when it made sense for you."

The way Hillary has acted and is behaving shows she is too emotional and out of touch with reality to be a good president, even if she could have gotten the nomination.

[tiptoe]

42. Hillary does what she's told (and nobody had coordinated with her, yet). nt

[JerseygirlCT]

44. You know, her behavior only accrues to her

every time she chooses to be less than gracious, it only reflects back on her. Which is sad, really, but self-inflicted.

[helderheid]

51. .

self delete

[Spazito]

52. Interesting phrasing....

"sit down when it made sense for you."


Usually it would be something like 'when you have time' or 'whenever you are available', imo.

Is Obama saying, in essence, 'when you realize you will not be VP'? or 'when you can accept the primary race is over'?

Very interesting phrasing from a man who knows how important and influential phrasing is.
