Hillary: "Now is the time to close the deal for Barack Obama"

[ruggerson]

“I am asking you to work as hard for Barack as you worked for me. If you made phone calls, make them for Barack. If you walked streets, walk them for Barack. If you talked to your friends and your neighbors, do it again for Barack,”



“Now is the time to close the deal for Barack Obama and close the book on eight years of failed Republican leadership. … America will rise from the ashes of the Bushes,” Mrs. Clinton said, framed by palm trees outside the Amway Arena as Mr. Obama stood at her side.

"Tell them Hillary sent you to vote for Barack Obama."



Obama also offered praise for Clinton, calling her a friend with whom he has shared a “historic journey.” Throughout his remarks, which focused heavily on the economy and home foreclosures, but Obama made a point to reference Clinton’s work as well. At one point, the crowd began to chant “jobs, baby, jobs,” a term that she coined during her remarks, playing off the chant heard at many Sarah Palin rallies, "drill, baby, drill" in reference to offshore oil drilling.

“You’re on to something here,” Obama whispered to Clinton off mic. She stood on stage with him through out his speech, often cheering and clapping. When the two took the stage together, Obama’s hand could be seen on her back several times.

Hillary Clinton Has Emerged as a Vigorous Obama Booster on Campaign Trail
The New York senator has stumped for Obama in key swing states

Hillary Clinton isn't getting much national news coverage these days, but she appears to be following through on her pledge to help Barack Obama win the White House by campaigning aggressively for him across the country.

A review by U.S. News finds that she has stumped for Obama and other Democratic candidates in important swing states in recent weeks, including Ohio, Michigan, Florida, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, New Hampshire, Nevada, New Mexico, and Colorado.

1. She is right- I give it a rec. n/t

2. Yes she is! k&r

3. She is impressing me a lot these days

She really HAS gone above and beyond with her support for Obama. If Teddy is the lion of the senate, I'd sure like to see her become the tiger of the senate. With Obama in the white house and her in congress, I'll bet we can get some serious sh*t done.

4. She doesn't even have to be ML

to be the key senator on a lot of issues. I don't think there's another senator besides Teddy with that kind of national base.

7. that's why I'm seeing her as a tiger

I'm nursing a secret hope that she and Obama are conspiring together to go further than either have stated they'd planned on going and get national health insurance in place in this country -- the only industrial nation not to have yet done so.

6. I would love for her to be Secretary of Defense. (eom)

8. Lions and Tigers and Bears, oh my! (Who gets to be the "Bear of the Senate"? Kerry?)

5. Love you Hillary!

9. NOW she wants him to close the deal!

Why can't he close the deal?

:rofl:

Sorry!
