THE HIGH PRICE OF A LITTLE "UNITY"

Barack Obama, hedging all of his bets joined his former nemesis, Hillary Clinton, in of all places, Unity, New Hampshire for a joint campaign stop. While one must flinch at the thought of the town's name where they began their joint campaigning effort, the choice was more than symbolism, as each candidate garnered exactly 107 votes apiece there during the primaries. The speeches, for the most part where the usual assortment of stale stump speech fodder and rehashed promises, although each did bend over backwards to ingratiate themselves to each other, and the voting populous each represents. Obama went so far as to suggest that the Clinton's (yes, both of them) hold a ton of wit and wisdom to impart to his campaign, and even agreed with one man in the audience, who at one point during his speech, screamed out "Hillary rocks."Although it is perfectly understandable to request the aid of the most powerful woman in Washington for help with her 18 million supporters, it is not understood how much (or how little), Barack actually wants to associate with Bill Clinton, he of the massive baggage reputation. Surely, campaigning with him will unleash an avalanche of controversy as the GOP slowly picks away at the affairs (no pun intended) of President Clinton, since he has been out of office. Not the least of these issues would be how he made so much money in such a short period of time. second will be his somewhat unfortunate choice in billionaire playmates as he has gone cross crossing the globe. One report, as noted by the husband of Dee Dee Myers (she of former Clinton press secretary fame), who noted that he has been traveling on a plane of a billionaire friend, who has been known to call his plane, "Air Fuck One," both for its frequent passenger, as well as the questionable goings on inside, not the least of which is a penchant for the company of young girls.

No, I think the party power players are having him talk the talk, but will definitely not walk the walk when it comes to Bill, and to a certain extent, Hillary. No matter what he says, he always makes room for a "redefinition" of his views, such as his consistently malleable positions on talking to enemy dictators, public financing and NAFTA. So lets be cautious of any invitations the Clinton's may have received to come over and help out at the Obama party. All indications that they are being sought out for their knowledge and support may just be Obama giving them, and the 18 million Clinton supporters his version of the "okee-doke." Just like the Obama campaign contributions Hillary received from the newly crowned Democratic power couple ($3, 200 from each of them to help her pay off her campaign debts) you might want to wait and see if the checks clear. They might come back "account closed / refer to maker."
