Is everybody else ok with Clinton mooching off of Obama? Just wanted to throw that out there

Does anybody else think it's a little bit weird how Clinton is now stuck to Obama's hip and he's raising all of this money that SHE spent so SHE won't go into debt? Forgive me if I'm wrong but um.....didn't it look like a crazy brawl was going on between them a few weeks ago? One of the most immature political races I've ever seen. And now they're best buds? OK I'm totally confused......

I know politics is SUPPOSED to put on this front like everyone is happy and we're all working together for the good of the people but I can't stand it when it gets too cheesy. These two people may not hate each other, but they definitely don't like each other, especially after what each of them said about the other over the past five months. Him going after her being able to do something without her husband as a crutch and her going after the credibility of his faith in his own religion.

It's great that they want to bring the party together; because everyone knows that if the Clinton supporters don't cross over there is no way Obama is going to win this election, but shouldn't they keep it real? LOL what am I saying?!! POLITICS AREN'T REAL!

Politics are all about saving face. Also on an average not that many people follow politics that well. So when the election comes rolling around a vast number of people that would have voted for Hilary will now vote for Obama just because it looks like they are friends now and they have no idea that Obama told Hilary supports to "get over it" I would enjoy it if Americans followed politics better.

US voter have become mean junkyard dog we bark (in angry dog bark) at what we see to be evil but we do not bite. I walk to school when I was younger and everyday I was met with the same dog barking his head off at me after awhile I did not even notice him. This is what is happening in politics they have be come accustom to are yelling that they do not even care what we have to say.

They know we will not bite them!

By the games they play with us you can see what they think of us

We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America. ~ The Preamble

I think a lot of this is Obama trying to bring Clinton supporters over to his side. There was one poll that said that many women who had voted for Clinton in the primaries would vote for McCain before they voted for Obama. It was a rather nasty race (not as bad as some, but worse than others) and they're both trying to keep their party votes from splitting down the middle.

I actually agree with Obama's strategy in this; it's the best way to get him to win. If the party splits and some vote for McCain, then the election might go to him and that's something we can't afford. Besides, as you said, politics aren't real (usually), so there probably isn't any personal animosity between Clinton and Obama.
