Basically, this is the MOST IMPORTANT message from madame Sen. Hillary Clinton's speech ...

IF You support her and She supports Sen. Barack Obama, then YOU have to definitely support Sen. Obama for President of the United States of America ...

YOU KNOW WHY ???

Because SHE (Clinton) considers Sen. Barack Obama to be MORE QUALIFIED to lead our COUNTRY into the FUTURE ...

She IS a wise woman and I am going to believe in her ...

Democrats '08 ... ( and beyond ) ...

Tonight I did something I thought that I would never do. I signed into Hillaryclinton.com and made a donation to help pay off Hillarie’s campaign debt. I’m a Republican grandmother from Arizona that has been supporting Barack Obama since day one. Hillary tonight shared with us the reason this world cannot afford four more years of McCain./Bu­sh/Chaney.

[lizr]

Tonight I remember why I once loved Hillary Clinton.

Tonight I feel so very hopeful about our party and our country!!

[InspiredByTruth]

Hillary better work hard for Obama if she wants to keep that senate seat. In fact, maybe some of us are already working to set up a political action group in NY called "Cougar" that will monitor her progress and support for Obama's reelection - and if she doesn't put in the work, we will all vote & advocate for her senate republican opponent.

[Obama08Supporter]

I am sorry, but you are beginning to sound like the blackmailing PUMA's, it doesn't work. If you truly support Obama, then you should act like it. This is not what he would have wanted, your tone is negative, just like the PUMA's.

Hillary is 100% behind this party and she proved that last night, so you need to keep silent and do what you need to do, but stay off the blogs inciting negativity.

Obama approves this message.

[robXdion]

All what happened here is Hillary realized she can't come close to Michelle's speech. She recognized a formidable woman in MO and decided to keep her close instead of making her an enemy with the constant disrespect to BO. Hillary never "reached out" to MO before, so why now? This is nothing more than an acting performance.

[huffy2001]

So what...you want to fight? Get over it. It isn't the Hillary supporters who are fueling the bed feelings..­.it's you Obamatons. You are the sorest bunch of winners I ever saw.

[snarkopolitan]

Oh can it, both of you. I'm going to start calling you Hillbamabots: addicted to the adrenaline rush connected with pounding out an idiotic, hostile comment and punching "send".

I know whereof I speak. But recovery is possible.

Suggest you find a meeting.

[lizr]

Quit being a sore winner.

It gets old to listen to.

[bluehorizon]

Man I like your posts usually, but you're off on this one. Quit being so bitter.

[rosal]

The fighting is over between Hill and O's supporters. We are not going to let the MSM and the GOP get away with this. They have been working overtime trying to divide us. We have to show them: IT DIDN'T WORK! We all love our country too much, and this election is too important; McCountryClub would continue protecting corporations at the expense of the people of this country, he would reinstate the draft, think of his wars and our children. So, lets concentrate on the real enemy: McCountryClub and Company,

[in4success]

why don't ALL OF YOU read this: http://www.crooksandliars.com/2008/08/25/like-a-flamethrower-in-a-fireworks-factory/

wake the f*ck up to the urgency of america's future and stop being petulant, retarded, selfish a**holes.

this isn't about HILLARY AND OBAMA AND YOUR F*CKING FEELINGS PEOPLE!

it's about the future of this country

DAMNIT! what a bunch of f*cking MORONS!~

[dillydawg]

I feel and understand fully your passionate feelings completely. I believe the damage that the Clinton's have done to the party, will never be repaired. If Obama looses, maybe the positive outcome will be the successfull development of a third party. Those of us who have young families, my heart and prayers are with you. I can't imagine raising a family under the rule of Bush/Rove/McCain.

[lizr]

then maybe you ought to quit being so defeatist and work for a better future, think about forgiveness and moving on..

[PlainBread]

Yup. That's why I refuse to believe any spin from any media, including HuffPo. Obama and Clinton are getting along well, not like what they've been saying. I know Hillary campaign did a lot of damages to Obama's during the primaries, but it's over and we gotta move on. Most media only wanna try to spin and spin ANY news for their financial profit, not for the sake of this country.

jObama 2008.

[lizr]

the media is a bunch of superficial idiots stoking conflict and we desperately need to be together now.

[GwentBoy]

preparing! (sheesh!)

[Seattlelite]

I want to see 4 things in her speech --

1. Refer to her supporters as "her supporters" -- instead of "my 18million supporters. We get it she was popular!

2. Stop referring to Sen. O as her "opponent", she's not running against him anymore.

3. For the 10 reasons she gives her supporters not to support McBush, give ONE reason why they should be excited to vote for O. All I hear is why no Mc Cain haven't heard why Obama yet.

4. Denounce and reject James Carvill.

[dillydawg]

The 4th demand cannot be made. She feels that she will need him to help her get elected in 2012. However, the PFTB group will never let that happen. PFTB (Payback For The B---h)

[Diogenis]

Exactly BillY

[Roxanna]

It is great that she called her and it is great the Michele Obama acknowledged her in her speech.
That is focused unity and taking the higher road!

[DeliBoy]

What a stupid article. I want those 5 seconds of my life back.

[dillydawg]

LOL!

[pupbayer]

HRC is a classy lady. To call MO especially after MO said she didn't know if she could vote for her if she got the nomination is pure graciousness.

[IAM4CLINTON]

Exactly ! I vividly remember Michelle's answer that she does not know if she would vote for Hillary if she should be the nominee.

[yallkiddn]

LOL! "To the best of my knowledge" ('remember that phrase?), "I don't know." is NOT the same as "No!" Agreed?

[ebethgay]

"Where is the GD f**king flag? I want the G-damn f**king flag up every f**king morning at f**king sunrise." (From the book "Inside The White House" by Ronald Kessler, p. 244 - Hillary to the staff at the Arkansas Governor's mansion on Labor Day, 1991)

Yep, classy.

[MrClean]

If she truly was a "classy" lady....
McCain wouldn't be running spots made up of he attacking her fellow Democrat!

[pupbayer]

What are you? About 12? If she were the nominee they'd be running clips of O. Grow up.

[exPatPatti]

If she were " classy" she would apologize to Sen Obama for continually demeaning and insulting him during the primaries.

[pupbayer]

I think that is a two way street. He has treated her terribly..­.and I wasn't even an HRC supporter.

[IAM4CLINTON]

Hillary Clinton continues to exhibit grace and class- she is an unbelievable team player taking all the insults thrown at her in stride, raises money for Obama, vigorously campaigned for him in NV and FL, and now is set to implore her supporters to get behind Obama.

On the other hand what has Obama and his campaugn done to reach out to Hillary, Bill (the best 2 term Dem Pres since FDR) and her 18+ Million voters- nothing of either substance or style.

[ibsteve2u]

"IAM4CLINTON" - since there is no way McCain will win?

[November2008]

How many of the 18 million were sent by Rush.

[pupbayer]

Very few. Most of those crossovers voted for O. Do a little research.

[IAM4CLINTON]

Numbers are stubborn facts- 18+ Million Democratic and Indep voters supported Hillary in the primary.
The problem is that Obama, his campaign and his fans here want to just wish us away and treat the general election as a mere formality before the coronation. Maybe, Obama Nation (wherever that is on earth) functions like that, not the USA - largest democracy in the world

[yallkiddn]

IAM4C, it seems to me that the problem with you and those of your ilk is that you insist on attempting to demonize Obama, as though he somehow underhandedly took from Sen. Clinton what was "rightfully hers." Am I correct?

[Seattlelite]

I'll consider her being gracious when she does these 4 things.

1. Refer to her supporters as "her supporters" -- instead of reminding people how many voted for her. We get it she was popular!

2. Stop referring to Sen. O as her "opponent", she's not running against him anymore.

3. For the 10 reasons she gives her supporters not to support McBush, give one reason why they should be excited to vote for O. All I hear is why no Mc Cain haven't heard why Obama yet.

4. Denounce and reject James Carvill.

[Mysticalsister]

Too bad you weren't able to write her speech for her. How dare she not genuflect in a way that was acceptable to you. Perhaps she should have his name tatooed on her face, would that make you happy finally? Jeezus, you haters never give up.

[virgowoman]

I agree. she is really remarkable. don't know anyone who has the grace and composure to go all out for a man who never even considered veting her for his VP.

[agett12]

I felt when Mrs. Obama gave her speech that she did more than anyone else to heal the rift in the party. I feell that the tide may finally change.

[amazinggrace]

PumaAnn whatever are you going to do with all of your spare time after the convention? Seems that your other PUMA people have pretty much disappeared.

Yawn, you need to find a new hobby to occupy your time. A couple of HUNDRED marchers today not Tens of Thousands. $50,000.00 collected to retire Hill's debt not the 10 MILLION that PUMA boasted of.

Will the last PUMA please water the plants, close the door, and turn off the lights?

[yallkiddn]

ROFL!

[chitown8]

They are mad because there are no refunds allowed after donating to PUMA PAC.

[GotRights]

Naw, they're doing just fine without the "refund." The RNC pays pays pretty well, I hear.

[Monrocsol]

amazinggrace whatever are you going to do when Obo falls on his ugly face on November 4? Can we place the blame on all of you Obanists that fail to see, one more time, where the American electoral is at?

You are going to need a lot of help from god, more than an amazing grace.

[yallkiddn]

Monrocsol, we already know where the American electorate (you used the wrong word) is "at" (sentences should not end with a preposition). That is no reason to not appeal to their sensibilities regarding things like the economy and an unneccesary war--things that are concerns for EVERY! This may come as a shock to you, but there is an entity that exists within every human being that supercedes considerations about inconsequentials such as race, creed, color, and nationality.

[exPatPatti]

The only ugly around here is your stank attitude.

[KingMaker]

Hillary Clinton/Michelle Obama 2016???

[yallkiddn]

Why not?

[chitown8]

That might work. They are both intelligent and qualified. More than Bush or Mccains wife.
