Obama’s Dream Team a Clinton Nightmare?

Posted March 10, 2008 – This weekend former President Bill Clinton talked up a Democratic “dream team” with his wife topping the ticket and Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) in the Vice Presidential spot.
I’m not sure that’s the same “team” Obama would consider as dreamy. When asked what he thought about Clinton’s re-assignment of his presidential run, he said, “Well, you know, I think it’s premature. You won’t see me as a vice presidential candidate. You know, I’m running for president.”
“We have won twice as many states as Senator Clinton and have a higher popular vote, and I think we can maintain our delegate count,” he added.
Since Obama’s Super Tuesday sweep, pundits, political watcher and actuarial scientist have wrangled over who can win the Democratic nomination. They have analyzed the wins and losses; configured future contest; and theorized on what to do about Michigan and Florida; with all scenarios concluding Obama maintaining the delegate lead.
Obama has recaptured his momentum winning the Wyoming Democratic caucuses Saturday with 61 percent of the vote to Clinton’s 38 percent, giving the freshman senator 13 caucus wins to Clinton’s 3.
Obama has generally outperformed Clinton in caucuses, because he’s organized a strong a strong ground operation and participation is often fueled by voters passion for a thier candidate.
So what about an Obama-Clinton ticket? Could that be a “dream team?”
I have two theories why the Clintons have started talking about sharing the ticket with the Illinois senator.
The first is to create a distraction for the media; the second is to imply to voters “a vote for Hillary” could be a vote for Obama.
Obama was quick to fire back, “no thanks.”
This “dream” theme began when Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-N.Y.) started saying, “I’ve had people say, ‘Well, I wish I could vote for both of you’. Well, that might be possible some day.” Suggesting folks cast their first vote for her during the primary.
Tuesday, when folks in Mississippi go to the polls, they should vote for the candidate they want to see as president, that’s how the process works.
There are an estimated 599 delegates left, nine state primaries and two territories who haven’t voiced their presidential pick, they can’t pick a Vice President, only the nominee can.
Voters don’t be distracted.
No, no there was already a “dream team” and that was OJ Simpson dream team.
I also feel Barak Obama isn’t ready or qualified to be president does that make me a racist bigot?
And Hillary didn’t make the Dream team comment it was Bill. A lot of African Americans thrived under Bill Clinton. Alot of you can’t see the issues because your too busy trying to make it a black/white thing. The Clntons are no more racist that Obama is. What about Obama and his NAFTA scandal or the FACT that he was a drug user? It was funny when Chris Rock joked about “the chronic” but Barak isn’t Chris. SOme of us as black folks are way to quick to play the race card
“a lot of african americans thrived under bill clinton”…really? how come we are still talking about the same issues now that were major issues then like the crack/cocaine laws, welfare reform, and more of our black men ending up in prison. and btw, the NAFTA issue was resolved when it was revealed that it was a clinton operative that made that comment and yeah, obama did drugs, but so did bill, dubya, even me. am i not qualified to be president because of that????
Why is BET now censoring these comments?
Obama using drugs was never proven to be a fact, it was a comment made by a Hillary supporter and someone just picked it up and ran with it. Check your facts people. Also Tari, “WE” don’t owe the Clintons anything. We are still in the same shape that we were before, during and after Clinton took office. Wake up my sista, if you’re going to vote for HillBill then at least have a valid reason. Not because you feel you owe Bill something.
val
Sen.Obama said in a book that he used drugs when he was young.Unlike Bill Clinton he was honest enough too say he inhaled.What has not been proven is the claim by Bob. Johnson that he sold drugs.
Hilary Clinton and her wack black supporters never ceases to amaze me this chick is arrogant, egotistical just down right pompous
To make such a comment.
Thanks jfffnn for correcting me on that. It was him selling drugs that was never proven. I should have checked my facts on that one.
its time for change and its time for a black man to change it dont hate we been in the back so long you all dont never wont to give a man a black man the chance to show we got the power god gave us we shine but you all dont wont that
What is going on with the posts.
I’M SO SICK AND TIED OF HEARING ALL YOU CLINTON FANS, SING THE SAME OLD SONG, PARTICULARLY, ALL THE AFRICAN AMERICAN ONES.
“YOUR ONLY VOTING FOR BARACK OBAMA BECAUSE HE’S AFRICAN AMERICAN.”
PERHAPS, YOUR ONLY VOTING FOR HILLARY CLINTON BECAUSE SHE’S WHITE.
I DON’T KNOW, AND I DON’T CARE WHY YOU VOTED FOR HILLARY CLINTON.
BOTTOMLINE, PEOPLE VOTE FOR WHOMEVER THEY WANT, FOR THEIR OWN REASON. DEAL WITH IT.
SO, FAR THE MAJORITY OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE HAS VOTED FOR CHANGE (BARACK OBAMA), AND THEY CONTINUE TO VOTE THAT WAY. MISSISSIPPI WILL SHOW THE SAME.
VOTE FOR BARACK OBAMA, A MAN WHO WILL BRING ABOUT POSITIVE CHANGES FOR OUR COUNTRY.
OBAMA OBAMA OBAMA OBAMA OBAMA OBAMA OBAMA OBAMA

I agree with Iris, we need to vote for who we really believe in, not because of the color of their skin nor their gender but because we believe that they can be lead by God and do what’s right for our country.
The post are being sensored once again in favor of Pope Barack Obama
I’m getting so Damm tried of Hilary and Bill. I lost more and more respect from both of them. if you have not ready the willie lynch letter you need to read it. We must not trust our on people, we mus trust them and deepen on them you can see what they are doing right now. They say bill was the black people first President Hell no. The white boy dont no what it really feels to be back person.
WHENEVER IT CAME TO RACIAL BIGOTRY, WE HAVE ALWAY BLAMED THE REPUBLICANS, AND NEVER LOOKING AT THE DEMOCRATS. “WE CAN NOW CLERLY SAY THAT BILL AND HILLARY CLINTON, ARE THE FACE OF RACIAL BIGOTRY WITHIN THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY”.
