Hillary Clinton Backs Barack Obama?

Hillary Clinton's "3am" commercial that aired in TX last week deserves another look. The commercial is a remake of a 1984 commercial run by Walter Mondale in his campaign against primary opponent Gary Hart. The commercial suggested then that Hart wasn't ready to handle the awesome responsibility that comes with the highest office in the land, just like Clinton's version suggests that Barack Obama isn't experienced enough to answer that phone. She's even said that John McCain is more ready than senator Obama to be our commander in chief.

Strange words to be coming from Hillary Clinton right now.

Last week former president Bill Clinton commented that he thought a Clinton/Obama ticket would be a 'super ticket.' The idea is on the minds of many Democrats, but it's not new. Many Obama supporters would like to see Hillary as Obama's running mate and vice versa. Can the ticket win in a landslide? That's debatable and would remain to be seen, but who knows.

Hillary Clinton has even commented that she thought the ticket sounded like a good idea. Of course, she's naturally thinking that she should be the presidential nominee. Then she would accept Barack Obama as her running mate, for the office of the Vice Presidency of the United States of America.

So which position are you going to take, Mrs. Clinton? First you tell me that Senator Obama is too inexperienced to be our commander in chief. Then you tell me that you think it's a good idea that he be first in line for the job should anything ever happen to the President.

Sounds more like an accidental recommendation than an intended insult.


However this week as the 'super-ticket' idea continues to raise interest, former president Bill Clinton commented
