Clinton-Obama pow-wow set for next week for money, of course

June 17, 2008 |  7:38 pm

Well, it looks like the first post-surrender meeting between Sens. Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama will come next week on June 26.

According to Mike Dorning over at the Swamp, the former rivals will make a joint appearance in Washington next week before major Clinton fundraisers to bolster support for the presumptive Democratic nominee among the New York senator's backers, many of them still stinging from her narrow loss.

The two candidates also are looking at dates for another joint public appearance soon, a source familiar with the planning said.

Some major Clinton backers have expressed frustration with the Obama campaign. Several backers of the New York senator took offense in particular at the Obama campaign's decision to name as the chief of staff to the as-yet-unnamed vice presidential nominee Patti Solis Doyle, a former Clinton campaign manager who was ousted in February.

The Clinton folks interpret the move as a slap at Clinton and a signal that she would not be chosen as the Illinois senator's running mate.

Mike's got the full story here.

I have come to the conclusion the Obama camp is incapable of respectability! If Patty Solis Doyle is his
gift to the Vice Presidency as Chief of Staff, then we will see more resentment, and more incidents involving
poor judgement, choices, and contradictions.

How much longer must we endure the protracted Obama-Mama-Drama? Like a prime-time soap opera, it refuses to come to a conclusion and go away and it is mostly fueled by Die-Hard Hillary Fanatics. Do us all a favor and chance the channel!

Hillary, the Queen of Spin and a Legend in Her Own Mind!

what bothers me about Obama is that for all of his talk of "change" the people who are around him and seem destined for appointments are lots of old time Clinton era Dem's. How do you change the way gov't is run if you just go back to the same old people who have been running it for years. HRC is gone, it's time to get to some specifics and get some real commitments to change published out there for voters. Are we going to get fundamental change or not?

NO DEAL: Join The Coalition of Millions.

That SNL skit where Jr. needs Hillary is maybe coming true.
Stop and think about what has happened:
The weakest and least experienced Democratic Candidate of all those who ran in the Primary- is the chosen one.
How utterly reckless of the Party and superdelegates to choose him. He is like the mirror image of Bush from the left side- inexperienced with really one year in the US Senate of experience. He has been running for something for so long- I don't think he is up to this job.
