Why isn’t Hillary responding to that Ad? Why isn’t Hillary out doing the morning shows for Barack?

Because Barack Obama does not want her to.

Nobody major freelances in a presidential campaign. All message is run through the national campaign… scheduled and controlled by the national campaign. That is how it works in ALL presidential years. Obama has very few surrogates by design. It's a very tight campaign operation.

And why does the Obama campaign not want her to do these things that DU demands every day?

Because Barack Obama does not see any upside to Hillary dominating the national news going into the convention, stepping all over the VP selection and making Obama look secondary, and he is right.

This is really basic stuff, people. The news would like nothing more than to do Hillary 24/7. She is in the background for very good reasons. Nobody Freelances.
