Obama called to congratulate Hillary...and she wouldn't even come to the phone.

[mckeown1128]

Just reported on MSNBC... he had to leave a message. (hmm I wonder if she will make people leave a message at 3a.m.)


side note: I know this is a petty thing to complain about... so just consider it revenge for that snubgate BS.

1. Edit: "wouldn't" n/t

[Hutzpa]

32. lol!

;)

[LSparkle]

2. Another show of bad manners from Her Smugness ...

Gracious, my ass!

[Coexist]

3. so then I guess the whole VP thing is officially dead.

good.

[Barack_America]

7. And thank God for that! n/t

[CakeGrrl]

10. I sure hope so!

:wtf:

If I recall correctly, she couldn't even bring herself to say the word "congratulate" on his NC win. Wasn't it "commend"?

Obama, please release the hounds. I mean "Supers".

[Coexist]

29. he'll give her tonight and change the conversation tomorrow.

[IDemo]

36. beyond dead, it's fossilized. Not that that will stop the talking heads from pushing it.

And thank you again for the star, FLDem5! :hi:

[Coexist]

39. I'm glad you are enjoying it!

You are very welcome.

[Kittycat]

4. Typical Petty Clinton bullshit. Can't even be graceful in a win.

[Barack_America]

9. Would you call this diss-graceful?

:P

[Gore1FL]

41. Well in fairness...

...she hasn't had much practice at it.

[MonkeyFunk]

49. Why do you believe the OP?

it's obviously a lie.

CNN said he called and got her voice mail. She didn't refuse to come to the phone. that's absurd.

[hendo]

56. If she can't answer the phone in the early evening...

what makes you think she will answer it at 3:00 AM?

[MonkeyFunk]

60. He got voicemail

that's all we know. Maybe she was on a multi-way call already? Maybe she was speaking at the time. There are dozens of explanations.

The OP is just a lie, and you guys jump all over it without even thinking for one second how implausible it is.

[midnight]

5. That was a wonderful gesture on Obama's part. Perhaps this busy women

was not standing by the phone.

[mac2]

6. Was she even there?

[YDogg]

12. if she wasn't "there" surely the clinton campaign has the ability to find her and patch him through.

no excuse

[mmonk]

17. Depends on if it was a land line I guess.

Either way, it doesn't mean anything, just people reading things into it probably.

[MonkeyFunk]

21. CNN said he got her voicemail

she was probably on the phone.

The OP is just a made up lie.

[yourguide]

55. It wasnt 3am, so she assumed the call wasnt important.

[milkyway]

8. If she can't handle an 8 pm phone call, how could she handle a 3 am phone call?

[LittleBlue]

14. lol

good one

[JerseygirlCT]

19. Ok, that was funny! nt

[Beaverhausen]

according to whom?

where did whoever on MSNBC hear this?

[Mariotti]

11. I'm sure this is a distortion

How many times have we heard claims such as "Bill Clinton said Hillary will win with 80% of the vote" that turned out to be false?

[YDogg]

18. yeah, everybody hates the clintons. they are always "right"

welcome to DU

[gcomeau]

13. Oh just let this one go guys.

WE can be gracious in victory, right? Let them have their night, we have our President.

[MonkeyFunk]

15. another bullshit lie

you guys are just shameless.

[redstate_democrat]

16. Now that was very rude.

She was probably practicing the "greatest speech of all time".

:rofl:

[DAGDA56]

20. I don't see this as smug...just typically poor planning on the part of

the campaign. This is the kind of moment, your opponent offering congratulations on a victory, that you want recorded on audio and video if possible. Somebody should have had the sole job of taking the Obama call (they knew it was coming) and linking it to Clinton immediately! Not petty, just amateurish.

[Kaylee]

22. You gotta be kidding....how Klassy of her.

[MonkeyFunk]

50. Not kidding

lying.

Obama got her voice mail. NObody said she refused to come to the phone.

Just another Obama fan lie.

[book_worm]

23. Maybe she was on the toilet?

[Kaylee]

33. Or as my mother would say....indisposed.

which was her (bad) attempt to be discreet.

[mmonk]

44. Oh lord please.

Now I have to get that image out of my head.

[AtomicKitten]

24. Whether or not that is true, Hillary has demonstrated little grace so far.

Very disappointing as a Democrat. Very bad impression as a role model.

And precisely why SNL called her a sore loser, so I would expect her to be a sore winner too.

[mac2]

40. It's so petty. Poor baby had his feelings hurt.

Grow up Obama people this is a campaign not Welcome Wagon.

[AtomicKitten]

47. I am proud Obama has conducted himself with dignity and grace.

And disgusted and ashamed the Clintons call themselves Democrats.

[MonkeyFunk]

61. No

you guys invent all these stories of our graceless she is.

People in the know, though, consistently say she's warm and gracious.

Obama got her voicemail - that's all that was reported. To twist it into Clinton refusing to come to the phone is just one more stupid lie that you guys invent, spread, and then jump all over as the truth.

[dsc]

25. I am watching the coverage and you are flat out lying

they didn't say she wouldn't come to the phone, they said she wasn't there. You are lying, plain and simple.

[Pisces]

26. Typical behavior on her part. Grace and leadership on his for calling.

[Shakespeare]

27. Classless. n/t

[MonkeyFunk]

62. Wha's classless

is lying about it, like the OP did.

Almost as classless is automatically believing such an implausible story just because it reinforces your hate.

[Thrill]

28. Shes becoming hateful now

[baldguy]

30. Why do some Dems votes for just another petty thug?

Seven years suffering under the one we got now is enough.

[dailykoff]

31. Hey maybe she was out buying cigarettes

or getting gas before the cheap place closed.

[Lerrad]

34. Maybe she was in the bathroom. n/t

[Yael]

35. She is resting up so that she can work her butt off for him in the fall

:)

[RBInMaine]

37. Was she too "elitist" to come to the phone??

[madrchsod]

38. who cares.....she won west virgina now she has to win

all the rest of the remaining states and pr by 60+%...hell maybe she will....

[mac2]

43. It's not over until the DNC convention says it is.

[mckeown1128]

46. It's actually 75% and that is with her winning the SD's.. :) nt

[C_U_L8R]

42. Pinned down again by sniper fire?

[zulchzulu]

45. Actually I'd consider it lucky for Obama he didn't have hear her cackle

That is pretty funny though...

51. Liar.

And also, this is flame bait.

[MonkeyFunk]

54. of course it's a lie

and look how many people jump on it as the gospel truth.

Obama fans are revolted by the truth.

[yourguide]

57. How is this flame bait?

The media reported it, we are discussing it here.

[MonkeyFunk]

63. The media reported

that Obama called her and got her voicemail.

That's it - to say that she refused to come to the phone is a lie.

[Catherine Vincent]

52. It's payback for his snub of her at the SOTU.

[yourguide]

53. You're fucking kidding.

[City Lights]

58. Class has never been her strong suit.

Dignity or grace either.

[David Zephyr]

59. As they said on SNL: "Sore loser"

That's her legacy now.

[TexasObserver]

64. it just proves what a pompous twit Hillary really is

Talk about your sore losers. She is pathetic.

The sooner she is in our rearview mirror, the better for Democrats.

[gbrenna]

65. Really!

I hear Hillary was available when McCain called-go figure.
