Tim Russert: Obama campaign thinks that Hillary's talk about VP today is less than gracious

[TeamJordan23]

Just said on MSNBC.

I am done with the Clintons and their games.

[slinkerwink]

1. I think that was an bad spin by the media, and the Obama camp shouldn't take it that way

[slinkerwink]

4. Stephanie Tubb Jones is on TV now. Ugh.

I'm watching to see what she says.

[IndyOp]

9. She discussed it on a recorded phone call today - she knew it would get to the media.

It was a very ungracious move on her part.

[janx]

20. You are right as usual, Slink.

Controversy SELLS.

[K Gardner]

2. Somebody tell me when Tubbs-Jones is OFF MY TV. I'm done with these shills.

[slinkerwink]

6. okay, she's being gracious.

[SeattleGirl]

12. Yes, she is.

And she has a point: this country is in a big mess, and there's more than enough work for two people (P and VP). Not saying it should be Clinton as VP; just saying it was a good point.

[TheDonkey]

8. seriously, the spinning this late in the game is just depressing for me to watch them

unravel

[Andy823]

23. She said that Hillary

Has said all along she will do what is good for the party to win in November. I say good, let her take Bill and go on a long vacation and come back in "DECEMBER"! :evilgrin:

[LSparkle]

3. Agreed. More "entitlement" behavior from Her Smugness ...

God, she makes it SOOOO hard NOT to loathe her!

[K Gardner]

11. LOL - Tubbs just said there'd be enough work for Obama, Hillary and THE PRESIDENT (Bill).. that

it'd take all THREE of them to fix Bush's mess. Unfreakinbelievable.

[LSparkle]

5. Oh great -- as VP she'd PRESIDE over the Senate ...

GREAT way to "get back" at all those Obama supporters she's going
to hold a grudge against ...

:eyes:

[FrenchieCat]

7. Today is not about Hillary Clinton, period.

Today is about the Democratic Party, and the election will be about the American people.

Obama is simply the catalyst.

and fuck the talking heads.

[Hansel]

10. I couldn't agree more. He won and this is his night.

And what a historical night this is. She's simply lacks the class to be president.

[hisownpetard]

13. It is really a shame that so much attention is being diverted from Obama's

incredible, historic achievement tonight, by discussions of what Hillary will or will not do.

And I'm sure she's enjoying every fraught second of it.

We, however, should not let the joy be diminished.

Tonight, our country will have an extremely intelligent, calm, focused and diligent American
as our Democratic nominee.

Hoooooraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyy!!
GOBAMA!

[SeattleGirl]

15. Anyone know if Clinton will be speaking first?

I hope so; that would be the proper order.

[Triana]

28. Someone who has NPD - ALWAYS has to 'win' and be the CENTER of attention.

Sorry to say I'm referring to Hillary and her last-minute machinations to steal the spotlight from Obama - if that's what she's doing here.

[Hamlette]

no freaking shit!

[spanone]

14. and for once russert is right....NO ONE owns the vp spot

[stillcool]

16. they are pushing hard...

it's their last gasp. Tacky.

[hisownpetard]

17. It is really a shame that so much attention is being diverted from Obama's

incredible, historic achievement tonight, by discussions of what Hillary will or will not do.

We, however, should not let the joy be diminished.

Tonight, our country will have an extremely intelligent, calm, focused and diligent American
as our Democratic nominee.

Hoooooraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyy!!
GOBAMA!

[Why Syzygy]

18. To say the least. She is an insult. Go Timmy!

Talking heads need to tell the brutal truth about the DRAMA addicted Clintons.

[ErinBerin84]

19. haha

stephanie tubbs jones was just asked about a Hillary as VP and how she would be able to accept a lesser position and not essentially a co-presidency, and she said "Well, George Bush left the country a mess, it might TAKE two people!"
Haha....Rachel said "This isn't a three person chess game, it's anarchist soccer!"

God, why in the hell does David Gregory ALWAYS ask Pat the questions first and let him go on and on, while the Democrats never get to comment on the freaking democratic primary.

[SeattleGirl]

22. Maybe he's afraid Pat will give him a noogie.

[XemaSab]

21. Hey, if she puts the nail in her VP coffin

I'm all for it. :D

[Stagecoach]

24. They're pushing for a co-presidency

That seems to be the talking point put out by the Clinton camp this evening with pushing her to be the VP.

[Orsino]

25. Stirring the pot.

Any substance to his opinion?

[w13rd0]

26. Well...

...it is. Seriously, would her merits as a candidate for VP be worse if she let Obama have the day?

Hey, want to prove you might DESERVE and be APPROPRIATE for the VP spot, now would be a good time for a demonstration, otherwise the message becomes crystal clear, "Pick me, and I will do everything in my power to upstage you, undermine you, and lord knows what else, in the election, and in the administration."

[GoesTo11]

27. Is it ever time for the Clintons to not spin?

It's like someone who always wants to argue. Weird.
