Why Hillary Clinton Should Break Her Silence and Tell the Truth - She Never WANTED to Be Vice-President

The only meeting that I remember and was published was in the house of the US Senator Feintein, no dinner was mentioned.

I Google the info and I could not find it.

Please, is possible a link to a dinner of Obama and Hillary in her home?

I only know of the Feinstein meeting that lasted about an hour, no dinner. I haven't heard about the dinner at the Clinton's as the article stated.

Are you splitting hairs or what? That's that bottom line, that a couple of specifics were out of place?

Honest question: Do you think Hillary Clinton would have accepted if offered the VP slot? Consider the points made in the article about the actual duties of a VP (especially sitting behind a perfectly healthy 47 year old whose biggest health concern is the smoking habit he has given up) versus what she can accomplish as a well-respected US Senator. Consider the fact that she threw her support behind Obama just days after the primaries were over. Consider that, even though you digress, she did meet privately with Obama the day after the race, and the likelihood that the VP spot came into consideration. Consider the fact that, had Obama put her on the ticket, he'd have received a huge surge in the polls that no other candidate, male, female, or otherwise (!) could have given him. Consider the nonsense that would ensue for two months with pundits second guessing his choice. The easy thing to do would have been to at least talk to her about joining him to form the often spoken of "Dream Ticket".

So do you honestly think that she was interested and would have accepted his offer?

Ok.

Obama could pay easily for the debts of Hillary's campaign.

He was sured that nothing was on his way to the Presidency and made a tactical mistake (or his camp who decides what to do or not to do).

For Hillary now is to work together in the U.S. Senate as colleagues.

So, yes or no?

And I don't think the FEC allows one person or campaign to donate $20 million to another campaign. I think that's against the rules. So how exactly could Obama have easily paid off Hillary's debts?

Obama or his camp could ask for a loan like Kerry did in 2004. Garage Sales, Lemonade Stands, Neighborhood desserts and coffees, Saving the Quarters and Dimes, Washing Cars. Do you want more ideas?

First off, unless I'm mistaken, Kerry's loan was to pay off his own campaign, no? If not, please refresh my memory.

Secondly, you think the presumptive nominee of the Democratic party should use his time and energy arranging garage sales, lemonade stands, car washes, etc., to help pay off someone else's campaign debt? Is that because you want him to lose? This wasn't a race for a City Council chair. This was a presidential election. (Btw, Hillary's debt is the prime reason she should have ended her campaign weeks before the primaries were over. She would have still won votes going down the stretch, she would have had the support of her most loyal party members at the convention, and some of the bruises sustained late in the campaign would not have been as prominent. Now, she not only lost, but is hoping for her supporters to pay her bills.)

Finally, you still haven't answered the primary question. Are you going to? Or are we going to let this completely deteriorate?

super,

This is an example of the kind of lemonada stand that I posted.

This is why the DNC worn the losers badge.

So, just to clarify, in the middle of an election, the Democratic nominee should, instead of holding fundraisers for his own campaign (not to mention to bolster the DNC's war chest, which has been well behind the RNC's for months now), hold fundraisers to settle the runner-up's debt. Is that what you're saying?

If that's what you're saying, my question is: Why? Hillary Clinton had 18 million people vote for her, including thousands of high rollers. They can't settle her debt? She couldn't have stopped before she went further into debt? I just don't follow the logic that says that Barack Obama is responsible for Clinton's campaign debt. Sorry.

Furthermore, it's my understanding that the two have, in fact, held joint events to help pay down some of that debt, so... what are you arguing for again?

Beyond that, what does that have to do with offering her the bottom half of the ticket?

Super,

It's just my idea of the bottom line.

It's better to spend that money than to lose a Presidential election.

Beyond that, what does that have to do with offering her the bottom half of the ticket?

a) Hillary's Delegates, half of them not earned, were given to Obama.

b) When counting the Delegates California passed. Why? Because that put Hillary at the top of the ticket for few minutes.

c) The luck of Obama had been changed since that day.

I understand how a woman is wired.

a) Hillary's Delegates, half of them not earned, were given to Obama.

Irrelevant. Obama won the nomination without Hillary's delegates. This happens at every convention.

b) When counting the Delegates California passed. Why? Because that put Hillary at the top of the ticket for few minutes.

Also irrelevant. If they'd started with a state that Hillary won, like California or New York, or any other state that she took more delegates out of, she'd have been on top for a few minutes. The fact is she released all her delegates after New York was called, and that was the official end of her campaign. The delegate roll call was nothing but symbolism.

c) The luck of Obama had been changed since that day.

On what day? In what respect?

I understand how a woman is wired.

So what?

I really don't know where you're going with this. And you still haven't answered my question.
