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?

Re: hmm – your tag should be "dim" not "hmm." caroline kennedy is on the veep search team, and obama was joking. sheesh! your mother do a lot of drugs while carrying you?
Re: shmuc –
Do you seriously think that McCain will help anyone aside from small business? All of the tax cuts he has suggested only give significant help to large corporations? Why in the world does he think that Exxon Mobile needs to make more money? Perhaps his wife has masses of Exxon shares and that's why he won't release her tax records!
HELLYEAH!!!!!
Re: Anon –
Good call! She doesn't need that embittered hatemonger anymore!

Re: Jonny –
Do you live in real society? I mean do you have a regular job with different people from different cultures.. how do people like you still exist? You sound like you're copying the racist rant from the guy edward norton played in American History X.. guess what? at the end of the movie he realized he had been a mindless moron.. like you.. get with the program darlin'
YESSSSS the wave of the future
Re: chan –
Results? McCain, a man who was incarcerated in the Hanoi Hilton for years, seeks results along the lines of keeping the troups in Iraq for as long as possible. I don't know about you, but I have friends who are going over there and others who have already come back irrevocably broken. When you vote for McCain, I suggest that you apologize to every family that has been shattered by the loss of a loved one in Iraq or by having a loved one maimed in combat.
Re: css – Ummmm….Obama already won the nomination!!
Re: CHERY –
Then, in your narcisscistic pride, you're supporting the pointless death of countless troops.
Hell to the fuck no!
Re: huh? – i don't think there's any hope for jonny; he's irretrievably broken, to quote another from this thread, albeit not in a war veteran kind of way.
obomba isnt going to make her his vice prez…..duh…
is this where you tards get your news?
Dems for McCain 08!
ROLL THE DICE ANY WAY YA WANT 'EM. PRESIDENT OBAMA IS ON THE WAY!
Re: css – css - obama has the nomination wrapped up already…..
Point out the lie, moron.
Is it the lie that Obama wants to pull out troops just as Iraq is gaining the ability to fend for themselves or is it the lie that the US hasn't been attacked since 9/11?
[re=2424264]Re: Tired
Did you get into Harvard or Princeton? Have you sought to help those who are less fortunate than yourself? Because if you haven't, Barak Obama and his wife have. More so, they encourage others to do the best that they can and create a world in which everyone helps one another.
Happily, most of us do not behave as you do and feel the need to make others feel small in order to reassure a fragile ego that we are of value.
yessssssssssssss!!!!!!!!!!!!!
hell yeah! it would be the dream team!!!
Re: Diana –
How long has Hilary been public elected office? Oh, for only two terms EVER!! What about that makes you think that she has enough experience to be president of U.S.A.?
yeah if they run together and people actually vote then they will be unstoppable. REGISTER TO VOTE REGISTER TO VOTE REGISTER TO VOTE REGISTER TO VOTE REGISTER TO VOTE REGISTER TO VOTE REGISTER TO VOTE REGISTER TO VOTE
REGISTERTO VOTE REGISTER TO VOTE REGISTER TO VOTE REGISTER TO VOTE
history has already been made by having them run, but having them in office would be monumental!
!!!!!!!1
Absolutely he should ask her. She generated millions of votes and this country has loyalty to her as well. IF he had any class, he would ask her.
while i respect hillary so much, i really think obama should have john edwards as his vp running mate. i love edwards plus because of the shallowness of the masses, it would be good to have a white male by his side, sadly enough.
McCain has said no such thing idiot. He said that America needs to stay as long as it takes in order for Iraq to fend for themselves. It is you that should apologize to all soldiers that have lost their lives for nothing after Obama pulls the troops out and Iraq falls into Islamic extremist asshole decay.
I think it would be a wise choice. I mean come on we've never had a black man run for President nor has a woman, so why not work together.
Re: Erin –
Hey Erin, what values are those? First, get your facts straight, he isn't muslim, not that that really matters. Secondly, are you talking about values that support giving large tax breaks to the wealthy, keeping the troops in a war that was started under false pretenses and refusing to grant the GI bill to the same troops who have served honorably? John McCain's education was paid for by american tax payers and now he is refusing to grant those same rights to other soliders. When the grieving mothers of those poor boys and girls mention their deaths to you, I hope that you'll be able to explain why you caused them
Re: Jonny –
I'm sure that your KKK friends don't count stringing someone up as murder, do they?
It is the ONLY way Obama will get my vote is if Hillary is on the ticket with him….Go Hillary , I love u and miss you x x
Re: duh – shouldn't you be a member of "DUMBS 4 MCCAIN 08? In the current Congress, McCain has voted with the Bush regime 100% of the time, and in the previous Congress, he voted with Bush 95% of the time. If you like the Bush regime so much, you should be a Repugnican.
Re: truth – a lie is that obama is committed to pulling out all the troops now. he's been saying this for quite some time. that you are ignoring this shows you to be a SACK OF SHIT (and probably racist) LIAR.
all i can say is he better get a food taster.
YES!!! I was never an Obama supporter but if that would happen you better bet your ass I will be wearing and "Obama for Pres." shirt. I think they can do great things together.
Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes yes Yes YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES PLEASE YES YES YES!
The both of them together and we'll take it for sure in November!!
Re: chang –
What do you call it when an entire countryside is gassed, killing almost every single man, woman and child? Does that count as genocide? No? Because that's what Sadaam Hussein did to his own people. And guess what? There were attacks before 9/11. And what were they against? The World Trade Center! And what else? U.S. embassies and war ships! Nothing an incoming U.S. President should pay any sort of attention to, right?
Bill Clinton even went so far as to warn George W. Bush of Al Kaida. However, G.W. was too busy helping his gold old friend at Enron to think it of any importance.
Re: mlk –
You don't even know your own candidates plans on Iraq….why does this not surprise me?
"Obama will immediately begin to remove our troops from Iraq. He will remove one to two combat brigades each month, and have all of our combat brigades out of Iraq within 16 months."
Re: seass –
What are you going on about?
What does any of what you posted have to do with the current situation?
In order to unite the party they have to show a sign of solidarity, so yes they have to campaign together. As far as Hillary being his running mate bad move she is just to powerful and has alot of clout. VP is beneath her Secretary of state or health and human services maybe but one never knows do they?
Re: truth – just because you've read something doesn't make it true; obama has said on more than one occasion that he will base his decisions on what is going on on the ground in iraq. i question where you get your "news." and as for calling yourself truth, well, i guess irony is not your strong suit.
Re: W.A.R – Don't you have a cousin to go fuck you redneck asswipe.
Re: chang –
You should check your facts. The war in Iraq has served only tointensify loathing of the United States in the region. Do you think staying will make that better? No! It didn't work in Vietnam and isn't working here. The borders are porous. Al Kaida leaders still send video taped messages that create masses of new recreuits.
The most effective solution would be to encourage nation states in the region to create their own solution. Within Iraq, the groups fighting have fought each other for centuries. Do you think a war can change the contents of their hearts?
How many troops do you think that the U.S. has? The Defense department has already noted that troop levels cannot be maintained at their current level for the next five years. The only way to stay "as long as it takes" would be to initiate a draft. Do you support this? I don't. For a war that may never end without the wholesale partioning of Iraq, which the rest of the Middle East will never agree to, such slaughter seems utterly pointless. More so, what if the United States itself is attacked? Where will the needed, trained troops come from if the body of our troops is overseas?
Re: Dan – …and chauvinst hillbillies will vote for mccain
I will NEVER understand "Democrats" saying they will vote for McCain over Obama. Obviously you are not true Democrats or a vote for McCain would go against everything you allegedly stand for!
Re: JAE – I don't think that comment was meant to be racist… a lot of americans are uncomfortable with a black president, and a lot of americans have guns. It's not unlikely, unfortunatly.
Re: sammy – you'll go to sleep happily while everyone else is dieing over in the middle east, including amercian soilders. But, obviously you dont care seeing as you're voting for mccain
Re: chang –
I'm responding to your previous comment.
Genocide. Genocide is a wholesale slaughter of a specific cultural group or race. I thought that placing it within the context of an arena of which you espouse such an extensive amount of knowledge might help. Unless practiced with the specificity of Hilter or Milosovich (Bosnia), war isn't genocide, it's carnage, chaos and slaughter.
You also implied that 9/11 was the first terrorist bombing on U.S. soil and that the war in Iraq was stopping current and future bombings. Yet, if that were true, then there wouldn't have been any other bombings by Al Kaida, as there were against the World Trade Center, U.S. embassies and U.S. battleships in the Gulf all of which were PRIOR to 9/11.
Re: Seass – an additional point needs to be made, seass, and that is that there was never, at least prior to our unnecessary invasion of iraq, any connection between al qaeda and hussein. now, of course, thanks to the bush regime's ridiculous war, al qaeda is active in iraq.
i want a front seat when the bush regime is tried for war crimes.
NO WAY!!!!!!!!!!!
She will have him killed !!
google clinton body count for the real story
the clintons are worse than the mafia in having people eliminated!!
While I am glad that Hillary Clinton is going to be campaigning for Obama, I don't think that she should be his VP. Primarily because I think Obama represents the future and Clinton represents the past. I also don't think Senator Clinton could ever take a back seat spot on the ticket. And, keeping Bill Clinton in line would be difficult at best. I do respect Hillary Clinton and thought she campaigned her heart out but I think Obama needs to choose someone that shares his vision for the future. It doesn't mean Clinton is unworthy at all…she could go on to become a very powerful leader in her own right. And, she's out there campaigning because she really doesn't have a choice if she wants a continued future in politics. She didn't leave this race on a high note. Her highest advisers had to all but shut her down and that has never happened in history but I will give her the benefit of the doubt and see where this goes in the coming weeks.
Re: Seass –
You should check your facts, the situation in Iraq is getting better, not worse. Al-Qaeda is on the run in that country and the lives of Iraqis are improving each and every day. The fact that you dwell on the negative is not surprising since you don't check the facts on any improvements that are occuring in Iraq since the surge of troops.
Blaming US presence in Iraq on Islamic terrorism is another sign that you know nothing of the enemy we face. There have been nearly 12,000 Islamic terrorist attacks worldwide since 9/11, many of which has nothing at all to do with US presence in Iraq.
Draft? Please, get with the program.
Re: Jonny – Oh, I well know black sold blacks into slavery. But it was the British, French, Spanish and Portuguese who did the main transactions and transported them across the Atlantic in the most unbeleiveably cruel and inhumame ways. The British were the only ones who fineally put an end to it by having the slave trade outlawed by King George. The British after that very aggressively patroled the Atlantic looking to capture and rescue possible slave ships. After the British outlawed it, that stopped almost all trans Atlantic shiping of Negros, but unfortunately, slavery itself was not declared illegal until much later in the states.
Heck yes!!!!
it will be the only way to beat mccain
NOOOOOOO! She will never accept 2nd Place! She has the experience !
VOTE McCain!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Re: Seass –
Firstly, I never implied that 9/11 was the first terrorist bombing on US soil….where did you see that I even implied it?
I said that no other terrorist attack has happened since 9/11.
Secondly, what do you think the terrorist are doing now in Iraq?
terrorists are trying to become the ruling force and if the US pulls out, you will see genocide of those that do not want to be ruled by Islamic extremists. I see this as being the vast majority of Iraqi civilians….is that a large enough group for you to consider it as genocide?
Vomit. If they ever won (snowball's chance in hell), Australia here I come. They both make me ill. Go McCain!!!!!
Re: Dana – You got it right, Girl…
NO WAY!!! It would be a huge political mistake!!!!
BIG MISTAKE!!!
BARACK HAS TO PICK A VP THAT COMPLIMENTS HIS POLICIES AND IDEAS, NOT SOMEONE WHO WOULD TRY TO UNDERMINE IS AUTHORITY IN EFFORTS TO PROVE SOMETHING.
HILARY IS NOT THE RIGHT CHOICE FOR VP AND ITS TIME FOR THE BUSH FAMILY AND THE CLINTON FAMILY TO GEET OUT OF THE OVAL OFFICE!!!!
WE NEED CHANGE!!!
I was for Hillary, but I will vote for Obama if she runs as his VP, if not, I may lean to McCain and I really dont want to do that!!!!!
YRESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!#R$!#$!$
YAYAYAYYA ;LKJOGMLKASJDG; LAKSJG ;ASLDJG; ALKJG
YAY. FUCKING RIGHT ON OBAMINTON 4lyfe!!!!
I think that Perez Hilton knows jack-shit about politics and that he should keep his nose out of it! Hillary would make a terrible VP choice, since she's demonstrated such hatred for Obama, and a general disrespect to the democratic party. Obama did NOT make a bad decision and was trying to hide it with Hillary, he made a great choice in not choosing public finance because he can out raise McCain and outspend him too! And he made a wise choice in campaigning with Hillary because it shows unity, and kisses Hillary supporters butts, all wise moves.
YES! YES! YES!
Please run with Hillary, Barack! Bitches get stuff done!!!!
This is a dream ticket! DO IT!!!!!
Re: Dem f – Why would you vote for a Republican if you are a Democrat?
Yes,
Yes,
and YES
Thats a hard decision to choose. Hillary would prbly help put obama in the white house with all her supporters, but shes so different from obama. She's so strong headed and would put her two cents in on every decision. I think obama knows this which is a reason why he doesn't want her. I believe what obama should do is what he is doing right know. campaign with her, get her help with her supporters that won't back him and get to back him, and just simply help put a democrat in office. but i knows its the hardest decision. so i give it a 50/50.
absolutely not, if he were to allow that fore front, he'd let down his whole campagin, and his talk about change!!! clintons are the past, let's keep them back there! We need the change he keeps talking about, before our economy fails, and we end up back in the depression.
Is it sad that this is the first place I've read about this?
Re: Dem f – don't you mean Dumbf?
OBAMA YOU FUCKING IDIOT!!!
Yes.
Re: JOHN – AND WHAT'S YOUR "HUSBAND'S" NAME SWEETIE?
Obama NEEDS Hilary to be his VP if he plans on winning. So far, everyone I know is not voting because Hilary didnt make the democratic nomination.
If shes smart, she wont do it !
Re: W.A.R – Don't let the door hit ya in the ass on your way out of the country!
Hell yea she would be an amazinggg vp!!
I think it's the only thing he can do if he wants to unify the party.
OBAMA CLINTON 2008!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OBAMA CLINTON 2008!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OBAMA CLINTON 2008!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OBAMA CLINTON 2008!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OBAMA CLINTON 2008!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OBAMA CLINTON 2008!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OBAMA CLINTON 2008!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OBAMA CLINTON 2008!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OBAMA CLINTON 2008!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OBAMA CLINTON 2008!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OBAMA CLINTON 2008!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OBAMA CLINTON 2008!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OBAMA CLINTON 2008!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OBAMA CLINTON 2008!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OBAMA CLINTON 2008!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OBAMA CLINTON 2008!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Puleaseeeeeee don't have Hillary be the VP. That bitch will have someone shoot Barack just to get to the top job. She is not to be trusted! Stupid skank! We've had enough of "politics as usual" in this country and she is partly to blame. Bring on the new change!!!!!!
It's pretty sad that out of 300 million people in this country the election comes down to Obama or McCain. They both suck so it won't matter which one wins.
I think of you a leader in gossip but you are pathetic as a politico.
Yes of course DuH!!!! only eighteen million voters like her. He can't win without her. If he chooses someone else MC Old Fart will win!!!!
NOBODY BETTER THEN HER TO RUN THIS COUNTRY!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YOU WILL CERTAINLY BE THE NEXT PRESIDENT OBAMA. WHAT A TICKET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Dear Mr. and Mrs. Clinton,
Please, please, please, please go away.
You will ruin it for anyone that gets near you.
Love, Orchid
WTF???? is wrong with you dumbfuck republicans? Do you want $12.00 a gallon gas ….and 100 more years of a war over oil? while Americans starve, our bridges and streets fall into the ground…. and come last in the world we are already the laughing stock of the world. ….if you do Vote MC Old Fart . Oh or Mc Bush
He is not a negga, he is a clinton dup. How can you vote for someone that lies like the clintons. He is a lacky BOY. He is also a Chicago Dubrbin BOY. He is a fast talking HARLEM BOY doing the Shell Game.
yes… yes.. yes… yes… That would be greeeeeaattt!!!
I can honestly say that should Obama get elected, for the first time in my adult life, I will not feel safe in my own country.
no no no.
OMG…the ONLY WAY Obama will win is if Hillary's the VP. Thats all I have to say!
heck no, hillary and obama are too different. she needs to do her work in the senate. John Edwards is my idea VP.
And for anyone who says "…Hillary's hatred for Obama…" please get real. Yeah, we really want someone who shoots birds at his opponent and was a cokehead for a president.
Re: debbi –
What the hell does Obama have to do with keeping the price of gasoline down?
HELL YES!!! A STRONG TEAM! GUARANTEED WIN!!!
Hell to THA YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
He won't pick her for running mate, but perhaps as the health care tzar. I voted for her, but will also vote for him. We have to have change and McCain is not it.
It is not about black or white, man or woman, etc… those are tools our government has used for YEARS to divide and conquer us all. READ YOUR HISTORY! Abolish the fed and things will change. Voting for Obama, Hillary, or McCain will literally change nothing and only work to turn this world into a ONE WORLD GOV'T… Beware of the "new world order" and uniting mexico, canada and the US. Please wake up Americans. If we can turn our ipods off for a minute or stop reading stupid bullshit we can change history.
he's too arrogant to choose her; if i were her i wouldn't take the veep position even if offered– go with the ELECTED not the selected people and stop drinking the obama kool-aid - oh yeaaah that means you too perez–
Re: Kimbe –
Of course not, we'd all rather have someone that claims he's someone that he isn't and seemingly discards past associates just to get elected, even if it's only about putting on a face in order to dupe the misenchanted among us. Tell me, how many Nation of Islam members will be apart of the Obama White House staff?
YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11
Yes. Because hilary sucks ass and if she runs with ObamaOsama, that will make him suck ass. well he already does, but it will make him suck even more than he already does.
So Yes…let her run by his side.
They can both crash and burn together.
