Barack Obama (D-Ill.) to be his running mate \u2013 his former opponent, Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-N.Y.). <\/p>\n<p>But it\u2019s not for the reason you think. <\/p>\n<p>Obama has often said, most recently on NBC\u2019s \u201cMeet the Press\u201d on July 27, that Clinton \u201cwould be on anybody\u2019s short list.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>But apparently not his. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cShe was never vetted,\u201d a Democratic official reported. \u201cShe was not asked for a single piece of paper. She and Senator Obama have never had a single conversation about it. How would he know if she\u2019d take it?\u201d <\/p>\n<p>The official also said Clinton never met with Obama\u2019s vetting team of Eric Holder and Caroline Kennedy. <\/p>\n<p>And the official said she was never asked for medical records or for any financial 2008 information about her or former President Bill Clinton. The last information the couple has disclosed about taxes and financial holdings was for 2007.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Regardless of the reasoning for this decision; it was certainly disrespectful to the Clintons.  And you can bet that the 18 million Democrats who voted for her will not be pleased either.<\/p>\n<p>Being disrespectful to a fellow Democrat is not Barry\u2019s biggest mistake.  He just got up on hind legs against the Clinton machine!<\/p>\n<p>This will not be pretty.<\/p>\n<p>He not only didn\u2019t bother to even give the appearance of seriously considering her, he seems disinterested in helping her with a mountain of debt.  This is again something that Hillary <a href=\"http:\/\/hotair.com\/archives\/2008\/08\/22\/one-reason-its-not-hillary-debt-load\/\">supporters have noticed<\/a>.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cHe has provided her with a pittance compared to what the Clintons have given Obama,\u201d prominent Clinton backer Lynn Forrester told the Times of London. \u201cHer debt could have been cleared within 10 days. It\u2019s ungracious.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Does this explain the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thetimes-tribune.com\/articles\/2008\/08\/20\/news\/sc_times_trib.20080820.a.pg1.tt20brazil_s1.1888751_top5.txt\">recent meeting <\/a>between McCain supporters and Tony Rodham?<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>A brother of New York Sen. Hillary Clinton and local Democrats who backed her unsuccessful presidential campaign socialized privately Monday with a top surrogate of the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, Arizona Sen. John McCain.<\/p>\n<p>The private gathering featured Carly Fiorina, Mr. McCain\u2019s top economic adviser, and took place at the Dunmore home of political consultant Jamie Brazil, a longtime friend of Mrs. Clinton\u2019s family who has signed on as paid national director of Mr. McCain\u2019s Citizens for McCain Coalition.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>If the Clinton machine has decided to try again in 2012, they will have to ensure that Barry is defeated this time.  If they decide that course, Barry is going to take a beat down of Dukakis proportions.<\/p>\n<p>Stay tuned, this can only get better.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Barack Obama has some very real problems staring at him and he isn\u2019t helping himself picking &hellip; <a title=\"The Audacity of Suicide?\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=2336\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">The Audacity of Suicide?<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":64,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2336","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-politics"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2336","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/64"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=2336"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2336\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=2336"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=2336"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=2336"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
