Some in Clinton circle 'outraged'
politicalticker ^

Posted on 08/23/2008 1:57:56 PM PDT by flyfree

A top Clinton advisor also told CNN they were "outraged," over how the process was conducted.

"You can't put [Obama VP vetters] Eric Holder and Carolyn Kennedy on an hour plane ride to Chappaqua just to check the box? They should have done it just for the optics," this person said. "Barack never even said to her, 'Here's how I envision the job'– not one discussion with her about [the position]."

"They thought her supporters were mad before? They are really mad now," this person also said. We knew it was never going to happen but you would have thought they might at least make a show of it."

Former Clinton strategist Paul Begala echoed similar frustrations on CNN Friday night.

"I think there are a lot of Hillary voters who are going to say, 'Hey, wait a minute, man You said you were going to put her on the short list. You know, you didn't even vet her. You didn't call her. You didn't seek her advice,'" Begala said. "By the way, he didn't seek President Clinton's advice either. He's actually the guy who I think picked the best vice president in American history. You would think maybe you would sort of check in with him."

I think there is nothing funnier than an “outraged” liberal. And those cats are “outraged” ALL THE TIME. LOL!

I am a Hillary supporter and I am OUTRAGED at Obama’s treatment of my hero. I am voting for McCain instead!

At least that is what I tell my liberal colleagues at the university.

Denver and the lead up to it ain’t gonna be pretty. Clintonites are going to reek havoc on Obama and the DNC and the party. I think and it’s just my random thought.

This diss plus the 3 a.m. text message isn’t gonna garner any Hillary supporters for Obama/Biden. Not smart on their part. All it’s done is show the world there continues to be a problem in the party.

I believe it is quite a bit more than “some” who are outraged! Next week will be fun to watch!

Besides, he drank too much iced tea and spent all his time in the bathroom.

I agree with you 100%. I think this is just the beginning. There is something going on because none of this stuff makes any sense. Especially the Biden selection. I’d almost bet a box of Dunkin Donuts to a dollar that the Obama/Biden ticket is not what we’ll be seeing in November. Something is definitely going on.

I’m thinking that McCain may select a woman to capitalize on this opportunity.

I cannot wait for Denver - there is going to be one hell of a showdown between the Obamanites and the PUMAS.

Not only are they outraged at the slight of not even putting on a show of considering her Heinous, but then he compounds with a deliberate 3 AM slap in the face.

Obambi thinks he is showing who the Alpha is by doing this, but me thinks he has no idea the hornets nest he has just kicked over.

I don't get it. Why would they have asked President Bush? :-)

We knew it was never going to happen but you would have thought they might at least make a show of it.

I think this is what's called, "spoiling for a fight."
