Clinton To Supporters: Your Voice Will Be Respected
In a Web chat today, Hillary Clinton wrote that she wanted to "assure" participants that "that Senator Obama and I are working together to make sure it's a big success."
She added in an introductory note that her supporters would be represented at the Democratic National Convention. "We will ensure that the voices of everyone who participated in this historic process are respected and our party is fully unified heading into the November election," Clinton wrote.
One questioner brought up the prospect of Clinton becoming Obama's running mate.
"I have said repeatedly that I will do whatever Senator Obama asks me to do," Clinton wrote. "I am really focused and enjoying being back in the Senate and working on behalf of my New York constituents. This is Senator Obama’s decision and his alone and I am going to respect the privacy of that process by not discussing it."
Answering another question, Clinton wrote she is "pleased" that "Obama shares my commitment to universal health care." Health care was one of the main topics the rivals sparred about in the primary, with Clinton suggesting that Obama's plan, unlike hers, left millions uninsured.
Though many of the questioners were fawning, one directly asked Clinton if her support for Obama is genuine. "Are you truly supporting Senator Obama and encouraging your supporters to do the same," JR4Hill asked, "or are you just saying what you have to?"
Clinton answered by saying, in part, "I am completely committed to helping Senator Obama become the next President of the United States and urging all of you to do the same." She added: "I believe so strongly that if we want to see real progress in our country and finally break away from the failed policies of the past eight years, we need a Democrat in the White House."
Clinton was also asked if there was a possibility her name would be placed in nomination for president at the Democratic convention.
"I know that there have been a lot of questions on this subject," Clinton wrote. "Senator Obama and I share the goal of ensuring that the voices of everyone who participated in this historic process are respected. I want to assure everyone we are working together with Senator Obama's campaign and the DNC, and I am confident we will have a successful and unified Convention in Denver."

The fact of the matter is that they DON''T give a RA. They care about what they have ALWAYS cared about - themselves, plus doing whatever it takes to get themselves back in power.

Name 3 of Obama''s flip-flops. I bet you can''t. You are here for one reason alone: Character assisination. Arrogance is another thing Obama haters always mention - where the he11 do you get that?? - I certainly don''t see it. His inability to unite the party has everything to do with militant HRC supporters such as yourselves. If there is a divide at the convention and the democrats lose the white house, it will be YOUR fault that our brave men and women continue to die in an unnecessary war. It will be YOUR fault that the middle class continue to fade away, that health care will continue to be out of reach for millions. STOP AND THINK about what you are doing to the party and what we are trying to accomplish.
And I for one DO NOT have buyers remorse...where did you come up with that?

Rowdy, you are soooooooooo predictable. As soon as you posted on the other article I knew you would post the exact same thing on this article next. You need some new material, a new life for that matter. Defently something new to obsess about. If you would of just taken my advice back in March when I told you the race was already over, maybe you could of saved yourself some sleepless nights.
You girl is so overratted. Someone like her could never ever ever lead this country.
Go back to your dream land where you have enough money to pay off her debt and then she becomes president and all in the world is good!!

Truth is, Hillary''s candidacy is just as historical as Obama''s but no one chooses to acknowledge it. Its sad. Even women dont'' realize they''re working agianst themselves by dismissing her as irrelevant. She is anything but irrelevant!!
If Obama wants the Clintonian vote...he needs to respect her and her supporters. Give her a roll call and/or put her on the ticket! There is no one who would be a better VP than Hillary R. Clinton. She''s more qualified than all the other prospects. If she wasn''t, they all would have been running for President in the first place, wouldn''t they??!!
Two selfish self-centered idiots!!!!
Bill can''t stop sulking--he looks like a sour pitiful little boy, Hilary''s boots need to keep walking, their days are over---I hope!!

Generally people are not that bright- and this is why they cannot see through the facade of Mr Obama. McCain is not another Bush, you and many others have it backwards. It is Obama who is the liar, and if only people were smarter they would open their eyes and see this fact.
Like when Hillary talks about ''disrespect'' is her standard still that she''s superior to everybody and deserved to win?
Or is it the case of Barack being as dismissive of even the Clintons the way he''s thrown everybody and their dog under the bus when he was done using them to further his own ambitions?
Maybe both these two are too control-freakish to get along (?) :o
