NEWSFLASH: Barack and Hillary are on the same side.
It's not about "Obama Thinkers" and "Clinton Thinkers" or sides or whatever. It is about the "BEST Thinkers" and our president elect is trying to assemble the BEST team possible.

The primary season is over, and if the truth is to be told, there are some so called Obama supporters who need to be reminded of that.

1. You could make the same argument about Lieberman.

7. "The general election is over. He's agreed to caucus with the dems."
"They're on the same side."

See? Same argument.

9. Again. Not nearly the same, and you know it. So does Obama, as he's not appointed Holy Joe
to his cabinet. You see, the BEST THINKERS, not just the inverse of "the primary season is over", which was not the main point of my OP. (But you already knew that too).

10. "he's not appointed Holy Joe to his cabinet"
Ah, but he did defend his chairmanships.

17. No, Obama defended the idea of Joe remaining in the caucus.
He said nothing about his chairs. Fact is that Obama for the most part didn't say much publicly about Holy Joe...

22. Defending him being in the caucus would include defending his chairmanships.
They're a package.

11. LOL....Hillary never directly opposed Obama as president, in fact
she campaigned for him. So not the same.

13. When she wasn't making up lies about him...
and arguing that McCain would be a better pick, sure.

15. Yes, but now the general election is over.
And it's "time to move on." "Lieberman haters need to understand the general election is over."

And so on and so forth.

3. But are they on our side?
Rhetorical question, I definitely support both of them, but many DUers may not.

23. Waxman and Dingell are on the same side too.
Clinton as SoS would mean that Obama is not serious about change as far as foreign policy is concerned.
