At first, I failed to see what the "compromise" was that took place between Obama and Clinton. It seemed like Clinton got the good end of the deal, and Obama got trampled on, to the point of looking weak.<br><br>It would have been in poor taste for her to do this after the Biden announcement; she would have (rightly) been accused of trying to steal his thunder. However, I agree with taritac, the time to do this for true party unity would have been when she ended her campaign. At this point, it just seems like a desperate move to appease the head-honcho Democrats and people who are fed up with her not dissuading the whining of her constituents.<br><br>However, as far as the Clintons\' relationship with Black folk: It\'s a wrap. Sure, they both still have some African-Americans who admire and even really like them. But the vast majority of us aren\'t just lap-dogs who come running when the Clintons smile and act like they\'re "down". At the end of the day, we know when we\'ve been taken advantage of. The Clintons\' view of their relationship of the Black community was made clear during the primaries. They truly took us for granted and took advantage of our good will towards them. Their subsequent actions since losing the primaries have been the same as a petulant, spoiled child who has not gotten their way. Like I said, I truly think it\'s a wrap.</div>\
