Statement from the Obama and Clinton Press Offices

August 14, 2008

Since June, Senators Obama and Clinton have been working together to ensure a Democratic victory this November. They are both committed to winning back the White House and to to ensuring that the voices of all 35 million people who participated in this historic primary election are respected and heard in Denver. To honor and celebrate these voices and votes, both Senator Obama’s and Senator Clinton’s names will be placed in nomination.

“I am convinced that honoring Senator Clinton’s historic campaign in this way will help us celebrate this defining moment in our history and bring the party together in a strong united fashion,” said Senator Barack Obama.

Senator Obama’s campaign encouraged Senator Clinton’s name to be placed in nomination as a show of unity and in recognition of the historic race she ran and the fact that she was the first woman to compete in all of our nation’s primary contests.

“With every voice heard and the Party strongly united, we will elect Senator Obama President of the United States and put our nation on the path to peace and prosperity once again,” said Senator Hillary Clinton.

Senator Obama and Senator Clinton are looking forward to a convention unified behind Barack Obama as the Party’s nominee and to victory this fall for America.

Can we please just FINALLY give it a rest and work together?

on edit: I have no desire to fight, argue, snark, rehash, etc. I posted this because the division on here needs to stop or all is lost. If you believe in Obama, then you believe this statement.

[Happyhippychick]

1. I think it makes him the Anti-Puma. Or the PU

[Torgo Johnson]

2. I don't think so.

If Senator Obama were a PUMA, he would be all over the internet questioning the authencity of his own birth certificate. :evilgrin:

[blondeatlast]

7. ...

:spray:

[Shakespeare]

10. Okay, that made me laugh.

I'm with LostinVA, though--SO ready for the fighting to be over.

[blondeatlast]

15. Amen, amen, amen. I wanna kick McKStreet's ass, not my own. nt

[LostinVA]

17. That's because you love me

:spank:

[Shakespeare]

27. I do love you!!

:hi: :*

[LostinVA]

30. God, I always knew you were bi

:kiss:

[Shakespeare]

34. heehee

Broad-spectrum sexuality is much more fun. ;-)

[LostinVA]

36. PEV

I KNEW the joint statement wouldn't make a difference to "some"

[Shakespeare]

40. It was the only way to go, really.

I'm much more interested in bashing the hell out of McCrazy.

[Betsy Ross]

3. I sort of know what a Puma is but could someone

give me the history of the term?

[Whisp]

4. Party Unity My Ass

it was founded by Hillary supporters who believe that Obama cheated during the primary, that she lost because of Sexism, and that she lost because of Florida and Michigan.

basically, it was all someone's else fault and not her poor campaigning that she lost.

oh, and they're mad too because Obama isn't picking up the tab for Penn's donuts and the Hillocopter bills early in the primary when the Clintons thought they had it in the bag and spent like czars

[Beacool]

5. It originally stood for "Party Unity My Ass".

They have since become PC and changed it to something else. This is a group of diehard Hillary supporters who want her to fight for the nomination and who refuse to vote for Obama in November.

[PresidentObama]

13. It's what DUers call other DUers when they defend Clinton, because they have no argument skills.

:evilgrin:

[Hoof Hearted]

32. BINGO!

[Beacool]

37. Yeah, well, that too.

LOL!!

:7

[Writer]

28. It's a cute, short-form manner of speech for lazy thinkers.

:hide:

[PresidentObama]

6. With DU's logic, yep. BARACK'S A PUMA. BARACKS A PUMA.

GET HIM!!

[Spazito]

8. Not at all, it makes him a gracious winner and leader....

and shows, yet again, the Clintons are sore losers with no graciousness or leadership to be found, imo.

Nice try though.

[PresidentObama]

12. "and shows....the Clintons are sore losers" Ummm, how?

You do know Hillary endorsed Obama right? And she campaigned for him? And fundraised for him?

Oh, and Bill's on board too. He'll be at the Convention, sorry he couldn't make it till then...he's in Africa doing more to help the world than any of us may ever get the chance to.

[Spazito]

14. Because they could not simply accept they lost, make their speeches

and unite behind Obama. "Catharsis" yeah, right. If they were gracious, they would have forcefully, both privately and publicly, refused to support a nomination from the floor. They know this is an election where tradition should not count and there should be one nominee and ONE nominee only.

You already know this as well as I do. Difference is some want this dis-unity, promote it and applaud it, sadly.

[PresidentObama]

16. Who cares if they go up for nomination? Obama will be the nominee.

It's to celebrate and honor her campaign.

And according to Obama, he's taking credit for it saying it'll unify the party.

[tedoll78]

18. Some around here could take a cue..

from our nominee and be more, umm, "unifying" in their tone and words.

[LostinVA]

19. What nice try -- saying Senator Obama has shown class with this statement?

I think YOU are the one looking for a fight and not wanting to have everyone on the same side. Actually, what you wrote shows you probably didn't even read the OP, just the header.

:eyes:

To repeat:

23. You asked, I answered

You don't have to like or agree with my answer, np. I simply answered.

[LostinVA]

24. You're disagreeing with Senator Obama, not me

:shrug:

[Spazito]

41. Unless you are Obama under the user name "LostinVA", I answered

your question, which, I will refresh your memory in case it is needed:

Does this make Sentor Obama a Puma?

If it was Obama asking the question, it should have read "Does this make me a Puma?" shouldn't it.


Cutsy OPs often FAIL miserably because they have no substance only attempts at "gotcha".

[LostinVA]

42. But you disagree with SEnators Obama and Clinton's statement

Tsk tsk.

As I said, you want a fight where there is none. TOO BAD!!!!

[tedoll78]

9. Goddammit!

I wish Obama would quit fighting the primaries. The primaries are OVER! Deal with it, Obama! :P

[LostinVA]

22. Uh oh -- should we tell Skinner???

hehehehehhehehe

Glad you got the point/joke!

[Marrah_G]

11. ROFLMAO!

I think I love you!

[LostinVA]

20. Haruka will only share me with Kate Winslet

I think my point was made with some of the reponses here. Like the IRA members who refused to disband even when asked to by their comrades, some on here just want to fight.

[Marrah_G]

35. You are in luck!

IRL- I am Kate Winslet!

:evilgrin:

Yes- you did make your point. And I bet there are some stubbing their socket puppet thumbs alerting on you!

[LostinVA]

39. I wish!

Oh, I know, but there's nothing to legitimately alert on: I think this is a GREAT sign of UNITY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But, some never really want peace -- they like to fight too much.

[inthebrain]

21. What's a PUMA?

[PresidentObama]

26. What DUers use as a label to try and kill debate when someone defends Clinton.

No seriously, it's "Party Unity My Ass"

[inthebrain]

43. That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard

This party unity thing is fucking stupid.

Look, I don't know if people understand this but there are a lot of Dem voters who have had to vote for candidates they don't agree with. Clinton and his "end welfare as we know it" and now it looks like Obama who claims not to take money from corporations (which clearly isn't true). A lot of folks have had to suck it up in the name of "party unity" and vote for a lot of turkeys who they can't stomach.


As I'm seeing it. There is an old guard of voters in this party that have gottent their way for a very long time. Mainly with triangulating candidates and Wall Street candidates who they scream everyone should support in the name of party unity. And for years many folks have supported these people.

Looks like now the worm is turning and the shoe is on the other foot. Personally I think Hillary may be the smartest choice for VP in terms of draw. But Obama is a different kind of candidate and someone a lot of none voters seem to gravitate toward.. The non voter is a demographic a lot of people have been encouraging this party to go after for years instead of the same old Republican grub.

Maybe the people who want "Party unity" should do what Obama voters have been doing for years. SUCK IT UP!!!!

[Starbucks Anarchist]

25. Sounds fine to me.

[LostinVA]

29. That he's a possible Puma or the statement????

I'M ALERTING!!!!!!!

(SA is a friend of mine -- even if he lusts after Rachael Ray -- before people get nutso and alert on this :eyes:)

[Starbucks Anarchist]

31. LOL, the statement.

(For those taking your "alerting" at face value). :rofl:

[LostinVA]

38. WHEW -- I didn't want to alert

I always knew you were a Hillbot PUMA.
