Less than two weeks ago, Obama campaign manager David Plouffe emailed supporters to assure them that they would be the first to know who Obama choose for his VP: People keep asking me if we're really going to announce Barack's VP directly to our supporters.
The answer is yes. In the event, the press got wind of the announcement long before the text messages started going out. All three networks had confirmed his choice of Senator Biden before midnight. And then at 3 a.m., the text messages started going out.
By all accounts, Hillary Clinton was not vetted for the second spot, nor was she consulted by the Obama campaign on who should be taken--not even as a courtesy. If she had been the pick, the 3 a.m. text message might have had some real resonance--a signal that the two had put a tough campaign behind them in order to work together on the serious issues the next administration will have to deal with.
But what's with holding the text message until 3 a.m. for Joe Biden? The only explanation that makes any sense is that Team Obama just couldn't resist one last dig at Hillary.

Yep, if Obama wins this November (he won't) this means he wouldn't have even put Hillary in a cabinet level position. Wants nothing to do with her. All that UNITY garbage was really just a steaming pile of B.S.
So the sound of flushing tens of thousands of Obama/Edwards bumper stickers wouldn't be noticed.
Because Obama was up all night hittin' the stem, puffin' some rocks, yo.

New Commercial.
Scenario.
It’s 3am.
World tension is rising ( stills of world headlines,
shots of Russian invasion, etc)
Scene.
3am. the White House.
Obama sits by RED phone.
Red phone rings.
Obama answers.
“Mumble
mumble
Yes damnit
Yes!
The answer is BIDEN!”
Hanging up phone. (strongly)
“Damn Text messages! Huh.”
Red Phone rings. (again)
“Hello.
Look I told you not to call again.
Look I told you it was Biden.
What do you mean, I’ll be sorry?
Don’t call again.”
(Hangs up.)
“Huh. Damn that Hillery!”
Fade to black.
THAT IS THE FUNNIEST THING I'VE HEARD IN A MONTH.
Mad Props on the line I'm gonna use at work Monday A.M., boiee.... yo.
The only other people up at 3 am texting are underaged teenagers. Yo, he must be wanting to connect with a new voting block, dude!
Why 3 am?
In the spirit of the SWAT team that busts into the wrong house and kills the homeowners and their pets who think they’re being home invaded.
Well, lots of dead people vote too.
That truth makes it clear why Obama, a militant anti-American and marxist chose another militant anti-American and marxist as his running mate.
...and the way he went about this will ensure fireworks at the convention and a bitter backlash by Hillary supporters. Good.
Why 3 a.m.? On another thread, some are saying that Obama wanted to insult Hillary for her 3 a.m. ad, which criticized Obama.
Then I fell back asleep (with a smile on my face)....
Obama-Bye-den!
I still wouldn’t be surprised to see the PUMAs stage a coup at the RAT convention next week. I wouldn’t put it past the Clintons to try anyway.
Some of us are up at 3 AM to watch the Olympics all nite.
Oh snap...girlfriend doesn't get dissed like that...
The PUMAs will go nuclear. That really was a childish swipe (provoking perhaps?) aimed at Hillary. Go PUMAs!!!
It was 3AM because they blew the text messaging thing. They had planned on doing it at 10AM Saturday morning. But the media scooped them so they had to send it out.
Watching the folks at DU and KOS wait and wait and wring their hands all evening waiting for that text msg was priceless. Even after the media reported it, the secret service was at Bidens, they still thought it was all a ruse to deflect from who the real candidate was. Yea, right. The secret service is going along with a gag on the media.
As Forest Gump says “stupid is as stupid does”.
Chilish pranks....the msm should be pi$$ed if you ask me....this could backfire
