Huffington Post: "Obama Sneaks Off To Secret Edwards Meeting"


Edwards Endorsement: Clinton Or Obama?

February 13, 2008 04:11 PM

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/02/13/edwards-endorsement-clin_n_85997.html

UPDATE 2/17: John Edwards and Barack Obama have finally had their private meeting in Chapel Hill:

Mr. Obama, who canceled an afternoon campaign trip to Wisconsin, flew to Chapel Hill, N.C., to meet with John and Elizabeth Edwards this morning. The meeting was quietly rescheduled after a session Monday with the two men was postponed because too much attention was being paid to it and camera crews were staking out Mr. Edwards' home.

Obama has said not to expect much out of the meeting:

"I don't think there's any imminent news," Obama told CBS affiliate WISC-TV this afternoon. "We were exchanging views, he was giving me some thoughts, and obviosuly he's gonna be a big force in the Democratic party for many years to come."


Campaign officials would not specify whether the meeting included a promise of an Edwards endorsement.

1. Why is the word "sneak" in there? I get so sick of this sh*#t...
No "sneak" was involved here. See picture of the two of them? Did Senator Obama discuss the meeting later? Sneak??? Such BS...

4. In fairness, the meeting was orchestrated to be on the down-low, according to this report
"Officials at North Carolina television station WTVD said they have video taken from a helicopter of Obama leaving Edwards' home in Chapel Hill. A producer said the station was "tipped off" about the meeting, but said the source was confidential.

The Obama campaign confirmed the meeting. Although reporters normally travel everywhere with Obama, he left them behind to fly down in secret from his hometown."

7. That's Arianna.
As long as there's a Huffington Post, there will be an element of National Enquirer.

She's not a journalist.

She's an ex-freeper who finds it difficult to leave her past where it belongs...in the past.

3. They look like an extended family.....Bidding good-bye, with a twist.
Obama looks like the ex-husband who just dropped off the kids at the ex-wife's new home with the rich, handsome and brillant new husband.

5. Unlike McCain, Obama doesn't have to be ashamed of who he hugs.
