The inability to get past even legitimate grudges has held many a society back, and Obama is showing real leadership to the world by doing this. Obama has an almost perfect mix of realism and idealism, and he knows politics is about compromise.<br><br>But Clinton\'s reaction is making me queasy, and more importantly, reveals landmines in Obama\'s strategy. The leaks, the utter disrespect in making him wait for an answer, leads me to believe Clinton has no desire to play ball on Obama terms. The Clintons simply cannot bring themselves to see Obama as their leader. Their not so veiled claims that America was not ready to elect a Black President is looking more and more like projection.<br><br>Its almost certain the Obama camp is aware of this possibility, and their countering the Clinton\'s leaks already, making sure Obama will not be blamed if this thing doesn\'t go thru. It would be nice to have the Clinton\'s aboard. The President faces the most challenging time in American history since the great depression and WWII. We can use as much consensus as possible. But Obama has already reached out to the likes of Lieberman, and more importantly, SecDef Gates...so he can pull of his brand of post-partisan politics w/o the Clinton\'s.<br><br>He may just have to.</div>\

On the other hand, I\'m skeptical about Congressional Democrats who will backlash against Obama out of jealousy or to cow-tow to the GOP, I feel Hillary could be one of them if she remains Senator ... either way, it\'s not looking good for the potential Obama-Clinton team of rivals.</div>\

You hire lawyers to redact information, stall, and offer the least possible cooperation you can get away with.   <br><br> I definitely believe the Clinton\'s are trying to muscle Obama into making the offer without them passing the vetting.   All the leaks about things going smoothly, and Bill doing everything in his power to disclose, him supposedly agreeing to disclose his future activities in advance...this stuff about Hillary being confirmed after Thanksgiving....they\'re muscling O!<br><br>We know there\'s shit in Bill\'s finances, so we know that one of two things must be true: 1) either they\'re trying to scam Obama into making an offer without being vetted  .....or 2) they intend to conceal or falsify any information that could disqualify Hillary.     We know it can\'t be that there\'s full disclosure, because that would mean disqualification...and they definitely don\'t want Obama\'s team to have any dirt on them acquired via a failed vetting process.</div>\
