Obama Apologized To Hillary On Sunday About Pfleger

[slinkerwink]

Ben Smith at Politico.com reports that:

Obama, in Michigan, says he expects superdelegates to be "making decisions fairly quickly after" tomorrows votes.

He also said that in their conversation Sunday, he'd apologized for Pfleger's remarks, and more:

I emphasized to her what an extraordinary race that she's run and said that there aren't too many people who understand exactly how hard she's been working. I'm one of 'em because she and I have been on this same journey together, and told her that once the dust settled I was looking forward to meeting with her at a time and place of her choosing.

We've still got two more contests to go and I'm sure that there will be further conversations after Tuesday.

1. Although he didn't have to apologise, because he's not responsible for what Pfleger might say.

9. No but it was a classy thing for him to do.

10. I know, but it was the right thing for him to do so

[cbayer]

2. I am liking everything about that. nt.

3. I think, overall, Obama has treated Clinton with respect.

4. And I'm sure she reciprocated by apologizing for

the Kennedy assassination comment
the Ferraro "only winning because he's black" remark
the Bill Clinton comparisons to Jesse Jackson

all of which in my opinion were worse than whatever was said by Pfleger.

5. I remember Hillary mocking Obama

with her speech "the clouds will part, the celestial choir..." etc., and I'm wondering why Obama has to apologize to her for anything. Especially for something he didn't even say. I think it'd be a big mistake to offer her the VP.

6. But that's the point

He didn't "have to," but he did. Classy.

[lob1]

8. Much classier than me.

I'd have pulled muscles in my middle fingers from flipping her off.

[LTR]

11. Because he's a better person than her

Probably a better person than most of us.

I would have told her to get fucked, but that's my Irish temper talking.

7. How dare he!

It's just not fair of him to be using 'class' and stuff.
