This was Hillary's time to be with her supporters. It would not have been appropriate or appreciated if Obama showed up there. Believe me now or later, Obama did the right thing.

I have already noticed that Republican operatives in the msm are already trying to make something out of this. Fuck them.

3. Oh good God, as if that hadn't been decided on by the both of them.
This is just fucking ridiculous.

Gosh, d'ya think they might have discussed this during their super-secret meeting?

It's official, there is zero intelligence left in the MSM. Rachel, get out while you can.

4. Of course he did. This was indeed her moment.
He handled it correctly, and so did she. Now let's see how long it takes for the coals of her red-hot angry followers to cool.

Most will, and recognize that a McCain presidency would be a disaster. Some - I suspect a too-large minority - will let their hatred and anger burn them out, no matter how hard Hillary campaigns for Barack. Sad, but it's the truth.

7. Very Classy guy
But I agree with you that there is a small but very vocal minority that have pure hatred in their hearts for Obama. I saw some of that on her campaign website blog. I don't remember that much anger before for a nominee from the challenger's supporters after the fighting is over. Hope they come around.

5. This was HER day ...
... and she shouldn't have had to share the spotlight with anyone.

Obama has enough class to recognize that. Unfortunately, as we all know, the GOP and the MSM don't know what "class" is.

6. It would have been odd if Obama were at the suspension of her campaign.

8. He did the right thing.. he gave her, her day
She got to stand alone with Bill and say goodbye.. Very good move on his part, on both of them..
Let the rest of us embrace Hillary and honor her, gave her a chance to show real support on her own terms

9. Absolutely. I'm sure they planned it this way. They will have plenty
of time to show their faces together.
