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?

Yeah, I'll be voting for a Muslim for President. Muslim Power Activate!
This site is rife with people too stupid to vote for conservatives.
It's a proven fact, most people who vote democrat are uneducated, gay or union members. Uneducated make up the majority though.
Please get your facts straight by at least being informed. The only criticism of Obama's decision to opt-out of the public financing system is from the right wing attack machine. What a surprise - if the right was raising as much money as Obama, McCain would also opt out. Please keep your ignorant political views to yourself.
I want Obama to win just so they control the house, senate and presidency. My thinking is, they will have no one else to blame when they severely screw things up. After 4 years of that, it will be another 16 years of conservative rule. Don't you fools realize why Democrats rarely get elected to the Presidency? The arent fit to run a lemonaid stand on main street.
democRATS will be the death of america.
I agree, Democrats are the biggest racists. The biggest form of racism is not treating people equally. I'll put my skills against anyones. I don't need an unfair advantage. I wish more of my people felt the same way. It's ironic most black people don't vote for republicans, the party who set them free.
Re: Marky – Hey partisan douchbag, he's showing that he is just another typical politician flip flopping on his promises. You're right, the criticism is coming from the right, but with good reason.
Re: Will – Yes, and many are all three - uneducated gay union members. LOL!
If Obama's STUPID enough to choose to run with her as VP, he deserves to be knocked-off within the first year. She will still be President, - over his cold, dead, body.
Hell yes Hillary should run! Together they would fix a lot of bullshit mistakes Bush made. On top of that, they would be making History. I'm sure that there are people in this country (namely wife beating klansmen in the South) that are freaking out right now. That kinda makes me worry about their safety when they need to go to those areas. There are some fucked up people in this world.
Re: Ariel –
What the FUCK are you all so SCARED of??? Many of you have said the USA would only be "safe" under McCain, that you could only "sleep safe in the knowledge that McCain is looking after the country". WTF?!
WHY IS AMERICA SO SCARED OF THE REST OF THE WORLD? Have you done something to upset someone? The rest of us are friends and play nicely. It's a shame your RETARDED Republicans keep you in the "special school" and you cannot play nice with the rest of the world.
Yesssssssssssssssss………let's put those bible thumpers down.
ABSOLUTELY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11
Re: Aussi – I'm just a little scared of who Obama will appoint to the courts. I don't give a crap about what other countries think. I'll leave that to the wimpy liberals. We have to act in our best interest. BTW, though, I'm not voting for McCain this election, but it's not over is stance on the war (that's the only position of his I liked), it's because he's too liberal. I'm leaving the presidency space 'blank'. I live in California where there's know way he'll win anyway. It's my way of protesting him as the candidate. My pony was Fred Thompson. This election doesn't excite me at all now. It's a lose lose proposition for me.
WHO GIVES A SHIT? The USA is FUCKED anyway, and will self-implode no matter who is in the White House. You don't need terrorists to mess your country up, you are doing a DAMN FINE job of it all on your own, while the rest of the world sits and laughs at you.
Re: Who C – You seem to give a shit, piping in on another countries election. Don't be so transparent. Just admit you are obsessed with the U.S., the most powerful country in the world. You mock what we are jealous of.
Re: Ariel –
Thank you for your intellegent and articulate reponse. We shall agree to disagree, my friend.
Ream Ticket? LOL!
FUCK no. I do NOT trust her.
Re: Brock –
*yawn* China would kick your ass, and you know it.
i would like to see barack obama select hillary clinton as his vp but i am still not sure if that will happen…..i do think that people are starting to realize that not all democrats are on the obama bandwagon and clinton can definitely be a valuable source to him.
HELL NO
OBAMA CLINTON all the way!!
hell no!
nobama in 08
Its pretty obvious that most of the posters on this site have no clue about politics. Educate yourself and then you will see what a mistake it would be for him to pick her as his running mate. It scares me to think you people are actually going to vote.
ABSOLUTELY!!!!!!!! I really think that while they are opposites in many ways and that it would be hard for the Cliintons to take a back seat to someone else, especially somewhat of a political novice, a Obama/Clinton ticket would have a LANDSLIDE victory in November. Obama will win anyway, but having Clinton on the ticket will really seal the victory.
Hey what are the Democrats in congress doing to lower the gas prices?
Re: Ariel – What if he put Fred on his ticket?
i support obama but if clinton is his running mate im voting for mccain. clinton is an idiot.
Re: Hope – post #489, I can't agree more Hope, let's get the word out! This (Obama for prez) should scare the shit out of this whole country. If we vote for him, we might as well go lay down in the middle east and let them kill us all!
yesyesyesyesyesyes!!

HILLARY U SHOULD HAVE THE PRESIDENT.
OBAMA CAN'T WIN ON HIS OWN.
WHY SHOULD U HELP THAT LITTLE FAKE BITCH WIN.
DON'T LOWER YOURSELF.
*GO MCCAIN/HILLARY*
yeah….. finally! two strong democratic senators : I president and the other vise how awsome!!! Go DEMOCRATS!!! Bush is going dowwwwwn….
She's supporting the nominee and the party as she said all along. He doesn't need her on the ticket to do that. That's not change, and they both know it. It should be Edwards, if his wife lets him.
I'm getting up there in my years and I have to say that I am fearful of what will happen to America under Obama. The last thing we want, is to have the terrorists ruining our precious soil. I am a life long democrat, but will have to VOTE McCain!, there's too much at stake. Even if a small percentage of what is said about Obama is true, we cannot afford to take a chance. America is too precious! Democrate or not, I would NEVER vote for ANYONE who REFUSED to say the "Pledge of Alegence". Not to mention, someone who has ADMITTED to Using and Selling Drugs. Obama is for change alright…The DESTRUCTION OF AMERICA!!!!!!!!!!! DON'T LET IT HAPPEN!!!!
the only way i'll vote for barack is if he takes hillary as his running mate, so i sure hope he does it.
otherwise… i wont vote.
I absolutely think that Obama should have Hil run for vice president. We need a major change and I think the two of them together could accomplish that and get the U.S. back to where we need to be. Go Hillary & Obama!!!!
Personally, I feel that Obama can't win without her.
Most people in Canada (that I know, at least) kind of pretend that McCain isn't really there. Because he was singled out earlier, he's had considerably less media coverage. It's probably why many people felt that the real race was between Obama and Clinton. Canada's a younger country, so we're probably inclined to support a "youthful" candidate.
And the reason why we care so much about who wins is that it affects us, too!
EFF NO!!! That'll eff everything Barak has going on!! There's a reason that nazi didn't win the nomination, and if Barak is as smart and awesome as we all think he is, he'll stear clear of that trainwreck!!!
NO
No..she needs to stay home and bake cookies………..
YES, I think those two should run together. It would be fulfilling to watch those two power hun gry assholes receive even more riedicule than Bush, because there is no hope of recovering from what Hil's hubby got us into by blow jobbing his way through hiw presidency.
LIKE HELL!! He should NOT make her VP and I repeat NOT…She doesnt respect him, she beat him down during the campaign trail AND if we make her VP then she will try to run the whitehouse…I mean I know she has experience but I honestally want everyone in the whitehouse to be fresh and new…I mean really is it possible to mess things up more then they already are?? NOPE…Dude gas is 4.83 in San Francisco and the economy is a wreck SO fresh new blood is what we need!! But its nice that she is on the campaign trail with/for him.

Re: SILLY – AND WE'RE PAYING 2.5 TRILLION YES TRILLION FOR THE WAR IN IRAQ TO THE END. YOU'RE A FUCKING IDIOT! BUSHIT HAS RUINED OUR ECONOMY FOR DECADES TO COME WASTING HUNDREDS OF BILLIONS ON DEATH & DESTRUCTION EVERY YEAR! WHY DON'T YOU DO US ALL A FAVOR & SLIT YOUR THROAT BEFORE PRESIDENT OBAMA'S INAUGURATION IN JANUARY.
Re: Who C – If were so bad than why is it when other countries are in trouble they come crying for our help?
Re: Leean –
Leean - Senator Obama has not taken Hillary Clinton as his VP. I'm not sure where you came to that conclusion - so I hope we can count on your vote in December?
If he takes her as vice president and wins, once sworn in, his life will be forfeit. She's too power hungry to be THAT close and not get her hands on it… think JFK & Johnson. C'mon. She's such an incredible figure, yes. But she's SO CORRUPT!! What's so wrong with Edwards?
Re: yourm –
Tell me more. What are your objections to HC as VP? For me, I think his life would be in danger. She wouldn't be able to contain herself. Not her nature.
Re: Virgi –
I totally agree with you.
I can't see him picking her. 1'st reason: He doesn't trust her. 2'nd reason he would surely be a deadman by her husband and the CIA.
no
OBAMA/EDWARDS!!!!
Perez, to answer your question hilary should NOT run as VP. Bitch wanted him "asassinated" remember? or maybe that's what you want.
absolutely positively NOT! i agree that this would cost him the election.
the dream team!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.

The only way Barack will get my vote is if he puts Hillary on as VP.
"Should a boy scout take a rattle snake to bed on his first camping trip?"
HELL NO - She'd try to run everything - what a douche!!
Wow - the amount of ignorant, asshole republicans on this site is just too much.
Why don't you all go fuck yourselves - you communist fucktards.
I love the fact that you fucking hillbillies still think Obama is a Muslim - go check your facts.
No wonder we've had a republican regime for eight shit ass years.
Oh and I LOVE that democrats are racist. I hate to tell you but the tides have changed - go read a book.
Re: Jill –
"You know what they say - if you're in your twenties and not a liberal you have no heart and when you reach your thirties if you're still liberal, you have no brain."
Brilliant! Paraphrasing Churchill… I'm in my 20's and I guess I don't have a heart either. I take that back, I have have an enormous heart but just as much common sense.
Re: Jane –
I would completely agree with you, but I live in NYC and am not in the mood to get nuked…
I don't see why people posting on here (not all of you), can't have civil, intelligent debates. Everyone (on both sides of the aisle) who is cursing, writing in all caps and just writing stupid and offensive things just sound ignorant and are hurting their sides arguments and disagreements. It's really unnecessary…
Re: Dick – oh the irony in your name being DICK.
mcaines no different then the dimwit we have in office right now.
people like you are what's turning our economy in to SHIT.
As long as there is a Clinton back in office.!!!! Go Demos!
When will Americans wake up?
Hell Yes!!! That is the dream team! We need a drastic jolt after the damage that Bush caused. Team Obama!!
Ater all the things her hubby said i can't stand both of them but i can get over it and see that together they will make an amazing team. So yes V.P for hillary even though i can't stand her.
I love Obama and I'm all for uniting the democratic party, but clinton running as vp would be a little much. You want to have a vp you can trust right?
McCain '08
Of course–hill rocks!
For sure they should team up !!!
Re: Do_Not_Eff_With_Joan – What do you young little punks know of political "common sense"? In your 20's in your 30's, hell I'm 58 years old with 2 college degrees and 42 years of work experience. I marched against the Vietnam War in 1968 and I've been just appalled at this latest murderous conflict in Iraq. "Experience" showed me from the beginning, this was another monumental mistake and reality has proven my instincts correct. A "staged" conflict with no basis in fact for the ruination of a country, 4000+ American lives lost, tens of thousands of INNOCENT Iraqis killed and hundreds of billions wasted on death & destruction. So don't go crowing about your "heart & experience", you don't get one without the other. This country is finally waking up to the horrible reality of the Bush administration and we don't want it to continue seamlessly into a McCain term to carry on the same politics as usual. I for one am looking forward to a REAL change from the status quo.
He should have Hillary run with him only — make that ONLY — if it means/guarantees that the fuck-ass Republican bullshit that George Bush has engendered will come to a screeching halt. Bush is the WORST president in the history of the universe. A truly stupid, evil creature. His reign must end. John McCain is merely his suck-cessor. That's right, John: You're sucking Bush's smelly dick. Just go away.
They should definitely run as prez and VP! They would be awesome together! I definitely wanted to see Obama as the democratic nominee (although I would have been perfectly fine with Clinton too) but for both of them to run a joint ticket…that would be AMAZING!
No! That would totally fuck everything up!
if Obama takes Hilary he gets Bill
Obama would have to have rocks in his head to have Hillary Clinton as his Vice President.
It would be like having a Chihuahua nipping at your heels day in, day out. Then, not only would Obama have to deal with Hillary, but out in the sidelines, there will be the former President as well digging and meddling through his wife!
NO
NO
NO
NO !!!!
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
If he does he'd better be ready to welcome all the negatives that some with associating with Bill and Hill. Don't do it Barack!!!! We need you too much to risk
putting her on the ticket!!!
YES- Hillary better be on the ticket or I can't vote Obama.
HEll NO. She is the devil.
I'm really not sure that Americans are ready to have a black man AND woman in the white house!
YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES!
Re: What! –
You obviously lack civility, so I'm not going to grant you any…
Wow! You sound like a hoot to be around. So bitter and defensive! When you were in your 20's, you didn't have heart or common sense? How sad for you.
Just for the record "heart and experience" are hardly synonymous. I am as well a college graduate and am well on my way earning my doctorate in Political Science. Again, since you haven't given me the courtesy of being civil, I'm going to have a little fun with you.To be so old, so foolish and to be that liberal is beyond the pale and your views on the war are bordering delusional. I picture you as a crusty, old hippie with a McGovern bumper sticker still stuck to your bumper. Oh wait! Now it's covered by an Obama '08, because he's for CHANGE!
You can bother to write back, but I can pretty much guarantee that I'll win and I'll be amused by any argument you throw out there.
Thank you, however, for making my arguments for me. I just love the fact that you're a 58 year old woman on a gossip site picking on someone half your age.
"I for one am looking forward to a REAL change from the status quo." That's so cute that you actually think that's going to change. I hope you're enjoying living in your little cave!
this is fuckin hilarious…. are we all supposed to forget the fact that obama attacked hilary for months and months before this, called her a liar, criticized everything about her from front to back? and she did the same to him? HA HA HAAAAA now we are all supposed to forget that and consider all them and all their accused incompetencies a POWER COUPLE capable of being president and vice president? i guess they have changed their minds now and all they said before was lies????? come the fuck on already, this is why i NEVER vote!!!!!
heck yes she should be his VP. they need to def set the ground rules but she can help him a lot because he has a HUGE job ahead of him after the bush admid gets out of the white house! Go Barack and Hillary 2008!!!!
Re: Do_Not_Eff_With_Joan – I've fired people like you. You think a college education makes you an "expert" on every subject when it's obvious you're a smug, self-satisfied know-it-all. Ooooo poor dear, you feel I'm "picking on you". Well it certainly must have hit an exposed nerve to get a response like that! Sorry toots to bust YOUR idyllic little bubble, but if you're the future of America I'm glad I'm not any younger. I appreciate your "imagined" view of me no matter how far off base you are, as with all you so-called "arguments". Oh, by the way I DO enjoy coming to a gossip site just to get a picture of just what's on America's mind, or lack there of. If you ever get to New York, stop in at NYU & drop into one of my classes, I'd be pleased to give you a private tutorial on "Political Science".
No. Hillary Clinton was extremely divisive (gender and race) during her campain. She continued campaining even though she was already in debt and now she is pressuring Obama (through her support) to pay off her debt. Why didn't her supporters helped her finacially thru donations like Obama's did. She voted for the war in Iraq; and now that the war is unpopular she's against it. She is not trustworthy. She is power hungry.
FUCKING NEGROE!
