United Front
Filed under: Politik > Barack Obama > Hillary Clinton
In an effort to unite the Democratic Party, Barack Obama's campaign announced today that he will be campaigning with Hillary Clinton next week.
Yay!!!!!
The two senators will campaign together starting next Friday, June 27th.
The pair will also meet in Washington with some of Clinton's top contributors in an effort to try and calm donors who are still bothered by Obama's presidential campaign.
Few details are being released at the moment, though.
The news did come one day after Obama announced that he would reverse an earlier position and reject almost $85 million in public financing for the general election.
The announcement was received with a lot of criticism.
So, to draw the attention elsewhere, he made the announcement a week early about campaigning with Hillary.
Do U think Obama should have Hillary run as Vice President?

YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES!!!!!!
Re: Trist –
They're not running together. Read it again.
THE ONLY WAY I'M VOTING FOR OBAMA IS IF HE PICKS HILLARY FOR VP IF NOT, MCCAIN ALL THE WAY!
If it's not Hillary…I'm voting for McCain. I don't care what kinda speech he makes. How can she not…did you see all those fuckin' votes for her. Love her or hate her, she is a smart, tough cookie…the type of person I would want working in the White House. Someone with experience who has grown from mistakes and has wisdom. She is not bad for this country.
jeez, perez, but there sure are a lot of stupid ugly racist assholes who read your blog; maybe you should try educating their trailer trash asses.
um let's see FUCK NOOOO!
YES…OBAMA should pick HILLIARY CLINTON as his runnig mate for VICE PRESIDENT!!
Just think after all these years, we would really make history. An African American President and a woman President. And besides Hilliary is a brilliant woman!!!!
I like them both very much and what they are saying.
It's ridiculous, CBS and ABC are both saying how much these two despise each other. Watching Hillary now suck up to Obama will be nothing but painful to her supporters.
I think it would be great. That way we're sure not to end up with either of those morons in the White House…Go McCain!!
What you all fail to realize is Middle America is needed to win the Presidency. I just can't see someone as anti-american, communist , and in all likelyhood a muslim "winning" Middle America. I have voted as a Democrat for 20 yrs but will vote for McCain in 08 because Obama is to extreme. I am leading a movement in my state called Democrats for Values and we are urging Dems to vote for McCain. Remember McCain considered joining the Democratic Party a couple years back.
Re: Jonny – I highly doubt you meant what you said, and you probably said it for shock value. Nevertheless, it was horrible. What the Negros went through while being transported on the slave ships (through the middle passage, especially) was absolutely deplorable. Not to mention being enslaved and sometimes physically abused. The worst crime against them was tearing them away from their homeland and ancestory, and then further ripping apart husband and wifes and parents and children while being sold. They were treated like a common mutt, not like the real human beings and equals they were. They deserve our upmost respect, just like the Native Americans. I am a white, ultra conservative, right-wing republican, BTW.
Re: OkieA – speaking of someone who knows jack shit about politics!
hell YEAH!!
I think it would be Historical and would truly signal * CHANGE * Which Country sooooo desperately needs.
btw, even if you do not personally like H.R.C , You can't deny how intelligent she is and Bill is/was one of the best Presidents this country has ever seen. He may be a player but he's a Genuis at running the country and I mean thisas he would be an Asset.
fuck no. obama is strong enough on his own. i'm just relieved that fucking twat clinton has come to terms with the fact she lost. he doesn't even need her to campaign for him. all the people who supported her were ignorant rednecks who don't end up voting in november anyway.
Yes, YEs, Yes, Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Re: patri – if you are a "real american" we are indeed doomed, you pitiful racist trailer trash fuckface.
Yeahh!! If Obama chooses Hill as his running mate I'd be more likely to vote for him! If he doesn't choose her he's the world's biggest moron.
HA what a joke! He is a racist with ZERO credibility or experience and she is a manipulative liar! Perfect for all of those moronic democrats!
I was intrigued when I heard that Obama is considering Caroline Kennedy as a running mate. THAT is a good idea.
Re: Truth – why don't you do us all a favor and throw your tired racist lying trailer trash ass off a very high cliff.
america is ashamed of you.
Re: Jonny – you are a fucking embarrassment to the human race. you should be deported to iran where you'll be surrounded by assholes like yourself.
they're only campaigning together. As for the "dream ticket". Maybe. But I somehow see too much clashing, especially with Bill there. But I wouldn't mind it.
NOOO!!! Please.. that would totally ruin Obama's chances at becoming president. Clinton needs to get over the fact that she did not get the nomination. Please, Obama don't make your supporters squirm in their seats!!! He would TOTALLY not win with Clinton as his vice-president. He won't do it!
Re: TRISH – you're a clever one; hillary and obama are very close, policy-wise, whereas mcshame will appoint conservative assholes to the supreme court who will complete the bush regime's destruction of the constitution.
people like you are so stupid you shouldn't be allowed to vote.
Re: word – No I am serious! This Black Plauge has overtaken America! They have caused nothing but destruction and murder. I have nothing against Native Americans, Asians and Hispanics they all contribute to America. But the blacks do nothing but muder and suck up welfare. They are worthless to us. The filthy savages….btw BLACKS SOLD BLACKS into slavery,look into and see. Also no way are you conservative republican. I can smell your liberal tar baby loving stench from here
Big fucking emphatic YES!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hillary Clinton for Vice President!!!!!!!
Re: tina – is the person standing next to you wearing his "i'm with stupid" t-shirt? certainly should be.
Re: Jonny – Jonny not only cannot spell, he is a racist pig.
HELL NO!!! She will back stabbed him, usurp his authority, and take credit for good things that happen. Also, Obama will not be the only president, it will be three presidents, i.e., Obama, Hiliary and Bill. SO AGAIN, HELL FUCKING NO!!!
hell yes
Absolutely!!!!
Of course he should. I voted for Hillary and if she is not his vice president, I will not vote in the next election because I do not like Obama because he is an unexperienced, conniving, racist, sexist, radical, unpatriotic phony with poor judgement on who his friends should be.
Re: Bill – no, bill, you got it wrong; they should riot and kill you, you racist idiot.
HELL NO !! She is a bitch !! Hate her ! She tried to ruin his candidacy ! Besides - that would be the one sure way to LOSE the election ! White men HATE HILLARY !! Alot of her "followers" only voted for her to keep Obama from getting the nomination ! They will all vote for McCain ! I think Obama has a real chance to win the man vote -but not with Hillary !
They better come through with their promisses!! Everyone is going to be watching them!!
Re: Dana – It makes me sad to think that Perez would allow someone as low as you to comment.
TAKE YOUR BRAIN-DEAD ASS TO THE LOCAL TRASH DUMP AND KEEP IT THERE.
YES! YES! A million times YES!
I honestly don't know if I would be able to drag myself to vote if Hillary isn't VP, and I'm a hardcore democrat.
I like Obama, but I love Hillary and we need her to be VP, defiantly YES!
PERSONALLY I LOVE THE IDEA. BUT UNFORTUNATELY I DONT THINK AMERICA IS READY FOR A BLACK PRESIDENT AND A WHITE VP AT THE SAME TIME. I THINK JOHN MCCAIN WILL WIN (BOOOOOOOO, USA NEEEEEDS DEMOCRATS) IF THOSE TWO RUN TOGETHER.
if he wants to win the election for sur he will.
I think you should stick to reporting gossip and not politics. You're not a journalist you idiot. While you're at it, stop promoting yourself so much as if you're a real celebrity. You're a guy milking the last of your 15 minutes of fame for all they're worth… they may last a little longer if you stopped pushing clothing lines and other dumb business ventures you've come up with.
The ONLY way I will vote for Obama is if Hillary is the VP.
Hillary was by far the better candidate
Re: Erin – Erin - are you aware that in the current Congress, McPain voted with Bush 100% of the time, and that in the last Congress he voted with Bush 95% of the time? If you don't know this, you have no business leading anybody, and if you do, you are a lying cunt.
It makes me sick to think that Hilary has to play second fiddle but yes I do think Obama would be lucky to have her as Vice President.
If I was Hilary I would have a lot of difficulty accepting vice presidency. I would feel like telling him to stick it.
Hillary should not be Barack's running mate. She does not represent his message of "CHANGE."
Baaaa, Baaaaaa, Baaaaaaa. You're all sheep. Falling for the biggest deception of all time, A FAIR PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION. It's a myth.
Hillary should run as an independent!
Yes he definitely should that would make me actually like him……somewhat. I still wish the ticket would be Clinton–Obama, but having Hillary as Vice President is better than not having her at all.
John Edwards would be good as well. But I would like to see him look after Health Care and be given that portfolio.
YES!
I adore Hillary and she is the best choice for VP, the only choice in my opinion.
I highly suspect anyone who says no to this question is a republican because everyone knows full well that with Hillary it's a sure thing.
I only hope Obama completely realizes this, we absolutely need Hillary!
YES!
hell ya Obama should have Hilary run as VP! That would be great. I could see a lot of things getting fixed with both of them in an office.
As a SOLDIER in the Army that is married to another Soldier that has been deployed to Iraq and fought for this country, we will NOT be voting for Obama. Can you actually vote for someone who doesn't have RESPECT for the country that he is trying to be PRESIDENT of? ARE YOU SERIOUS? I don't agree with the war and neither does my husband, but I will at least put my hand over my heart (much more, SALUTE) when OUR NATIONAL ANTHEM is being played……
I am a firm Hillary supporter and I do not want her to run with Obama. I want Obama to crash and burn against McCain. He will never win without Hillary, and that way Senator Clinton can become Madame President in 2012. If he was that much of an ass to run in this election and not let Hillary have her time to shine, then he should see that outside of Chicago, he can't win anything!
Re: Tired – That racist rant of yours was tired fifty years ago; you're not good enough for my dog to piss on.
I didn't like this idea at first. But it does really set a good example of settling differences and still being able to come together and work as a team. Now I REALLY like this. This is gonna be fucking awesome.
Go Liberty !
Love Obama. He will NEVER give her the VP…she is too powerful. Too many cooks in the kitchen….
yeah..george bush….taxes cut, no terroist attacks, rebate checks…he is terrible….we should all pay more taxes, and not have a defense program…..we should have an economy where there are only poor people, while the insiders get richer…you know kinda like mexico……coool………no free speech…..cool………..kind of like cuba….you dems need to get out of the basement.
Re: Ellen – If she was the better candidate, she would have won. By being the divisive, "establishment" candidate, she doomed her own candidacy. She also showed an appalling lack of understanding of the importance of the (admittedly not entirely democratic) caucus process.
OBAMA OSAMA WILL NEVER BECOME PRESIDENT OF THE WHITE UNITED STATES
THE NEGROES WILL BE RESETTLED FAR AWAY WHEN WE COME TO POWER IN NOVEMBER
omfg YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!
Re: Diana – mccain = mcbush, you idiot.
Yes, whatever will help him get elected. Are there really people out there who want another 4 years of this?? McCain has voted consistently with Bush the entire time Bush has been "president"
I think you should stop worrying about politics, perez.
Re: Dan – ANd your dumb ass is probably both!
It does not matter. Neither Obama, Hilary, or John McCain will change this country. They are all more of the same with different exteriors. When people realize this then true change can happen. The real changes that need to be made are Abloish the Federal Reserve Bank because they are the ones truly controlling this country and enslaving everyone. None are more hopelessly enslaved than those who falsey believe they're free. Please wake up and read about the Federal Reserve Bank.
Re: W.A.R – I feel bad for people like you.
I am a Hillary supporter. I am one of many, and we are strong and committed to her. Without us I'm afraid Obama can't do it. Hillary must be the VP, and the country will be a much better place for it. I've always felt that they would make a great team (it's just too bad it's not the other way around)
I think Hillary should have won in the first place, but she would still contribute as vicepresident. Although everybody knows it's like a joke.
Hell no!! She was a complete bitch to him during the primary season. I would be VERY surprised if he picked her. The Clinton Brothers are hasbeens. Out with the old and in with the new! Time to turn the page!
ABSOLUTELY NO! Hillary will be a "back seat driver" and try to steal the thunder from the first African-American president. He's come too far to share the power and the honor with her. Besides, isn't everyone sick of the Clintons' personal drama? I'd like to see their marriage will last if they don't have the aspirations for presidency anymore.
Re: Chris – I'm in total agreement with Chris. Wake up America!
Re: Jonny – learn how to spell, you trailer trash idiot. then maybe somebody will listen to you. as it is, we're all laughing so hard at you we're peeing in our pants, you ignoramus.
Hillary Clinton was clearly the most qualified candidate running for president. It would be in the best interest of our country if Barack Obama had Hillary run as his Vice Presidential candidate.
Re: Mira – have you always been such a negative whiny bitch? are you just trying to make up for the fact that you have a miserable life and no friends? try therapy rather than tearing others down.
It's good to see all you "Americans" throwing your support behind a liar. When genocide takes place in Iraq after he pulls out the US troops out you'll have no one to blame but yourselves…..Is that the change you're all looking for? Or is the fact that no terrorist attack has taken place on US soil since 9/11 the thing you want to change?
HELL YEAH!
I would vote for barrack ONLY if he has Hill!
otherwise I'm not voting in this system!
Bitch (shoulda been) the new black!
Once again…..HELL NO !!!!!!!!!!!
HELL NO. Ok, her god awful health care proposition alone would be a nightmare. Combined with his "change" (who KNOWS what the hell it is)… I'm just saying. Bad idea. I was on the fence about Obama already but with Hilary, I would def NOT even think about voting for him.
Re: Jonny – No, I am indeed a very conservative republican. And I can agree with you on some very small levels. I'm not too crazy about the hip hop music, ganster lifestyle, wearing diamond studs that are probably worth about two years of my income, but there are also many fine black people in this country that have contributed much. People are people, and these are humans just like the rest of us and fully capable of being just as intelligent, as so many of them have already proved. If you don't like Negros, fine. Rage on at home and fire your mouth off to your personal friends. But don't bring it on a public dicussion board where you can have some very young and impressionable people get hurt or influenced by your words.
What is the "change" that you're all looking for exactly?
Is it the ensuing genocide of the Iraqi people and the takeover of Islamic extremists that will take place after Obama pulls out all the troops?
Or is it the lack of terrorist attacks on US soil since 9/11 that bothers you?
I don't think they would work well together… they've had too much trash talk between eachother in the primary season
I will never vote for Obama. I am disgusted with the way the media and Obama treated Hillary. If just 9% of Hillary supporters vote McCain, McCain will win.
It makes no difference if Hillary is on the ticket.
Go Puma!
yes!!!!
HE IS SUCH A WEASEL!
.
HE MADE THE 'I'M SUCH A BEAUTIFUL CHANGE THAT I WANT A LEVEL PLAYING FIELD AND EQUAL FINANCING AND PROMISE (HEAR THAT "PROMISE") TO PLAY BY EVEN RULES IN THE GENERAL ELECTION REGARDING FINANCING!
.
NOW THAT HE HAS MORE MONEY, AND HE HAS SCREWED HILLARY, HE IS WEASELING OUT OF IT.
.
WEASEL WEASEL WEASEL!!
.
IN TV ADS HE OUTSPENT HILLARY IN LATER STATES 20-1
.
20-1
20-1
20-1
.
WEASEL WANTS TO DO THAT AGAIN TO JOHN MCCAIN!!
.
WHO REALLY BELIEVES ANYTHING THAT COMES OUT OF HIS MOUTH!
.
SHE SHOULD STAY FAR AWAY FROM HIM!
.
After all the personality/fit for the job attacks during primary season I'm going to go with a no..they probably shouldn't run together
Of course he should, She should be president for God sake!!! xxxx
….or could it be that you all feel that your not paying enough in taxes and want to hit even harder?
Re: No Wa – What was it that Barack did to Hillary? He has been way too gracious to the bitch IMO!
McCain's voice is like a prepubescent male. I couldn't take 4 years of that. I gotta say though, when Bill was president, between trysts, he was a good guy. Hillary was totally passionate about health care and the right wing cut her off at the knees with it. If nothing else, if Obama ends up as president she should be the secretary of health. Gore is too much of a green watchdog, if he was VP he'd have too much else to do. I'm gonna sit this one out. None of them deserve my vote.
HELLLLL YEA! this is amazingly great!
Re: Mee –
Yes, because THATS how we should base our votes.
the dream team!!! PLEEEEAAAASE Hilary & Barack consider us the Americans!
Re: jeff – yea obama also said there were 57 states so do we want a president who really doesnt even know how many states there are in the country he wants to run?
Re: Erin –
Good for you.. you don't just vote based on party politics, you look at the real issues. If only everyone thought that way.
HELL NO! That bitch would try to poison him just to become president. I wouldn't put anything past her after the sleazy tactics she resorted to during the primaries.
Yes, yes, yes! I always thought it would show a strong and united party - let all the political BS aside and work together for our country.
God, I hope he doesn't put her on the ticket. I'm a Republican who will vote for Obama but NEVER with a Clinton on the ticket. I remember the Clinton years and I never, ever want those fuckers in there again…they were a mockery.
OMG!! YES!!! BIGGEST HELL YES!!! ONLY DECENT WAY OBAMA WILL WIN THE NOMINATION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
HILLARY FOR VICE PREZZ…
dream ticket!
