United Press International ^ | July 10, 2008

NEW YORK, July 10 (UPI) -- Democratic U.S. presidential hopeful Barack Obama almost forgot to ask donors to help relieve former rival Hillary Clinton's campaign debt at a fundraiser.

The former rivals agreed on a plan to help one another, in which Obama would urge donors to help relieve about $10 million of Clinton's campaign debt while Clinton would help raise funds for the Illinois senator's presidential bid, CNN reported.

This means, of course, that Maureen Dowd will now soil her kneepads proclaiming Obama as “the smartest man in the world.”

Hillary should be used to men who only consider themselves and forget about her, she is married to Bill.

One question:

What does this mean?

Perhaps Hillary will have an “open mike” moment in the next day or two. “That SOB tried to stiff me. I just wish his plane had crashed like it was supposed to.”

While speaking about Hillary's debt, did he scratch his face with the middle finger again, or “brush her off his suit” like in the past while referring to Hillary?

OMG - best laugh I’ve had tonight!!! The other thought the original article brought to mind was that old saying - “there’s no honor among thieves”......

Why can't Hitlery pay her own debts?

Everyone else does.

Obama could care less. He won. He got what he wanted. His base won't pay an opponents debt - who's he kidding?

But, but where's the liberal “compassion” for Hitlery?

Where's the UNITY when it comes to them reaching in their pockets to help pay her debt?

Where, oh where did the love go?

The truth is LIBERALS are STINGY. They ONLY want to spend YOUR money - not theirs. Their hands are OUT not in their pockets to give YOU $$$$. I find this all amusing.

ROFL! I would’ved loved to see Herself’s reaction to his leaving the stage without the pitch to help her out.

If I was an Obambi supporter, I would not be too inclined to give anything to the candidate who went into debt damaging my candidate’s chances to win the WH.

Coincidently. The rumor of an embarrassing video of Mrs. Obama disappeared just about the time Obama asked his followers to help Hillary out with her campaign debt.
