They love the cause more than themselves
Hey, everyone, they kissed and made up because they are both on the same page regarding race and civil rights. SO, spin docs, gossips, and Republican mean machine- put that in your pipe and smoke it!
Get over all this squabbling, Obama and Clinton would appreciate it too so we can move ahead and see what this country really needs. They are so similar, and if you want to take a sentence here or there out of context, you are silly. Yes, Obama said it too, you are being silly.
What would happen if someone always took whatever you said out of context? You'd be called a lot of things I bet you are not.
Relax and remember who they are up against!

Ignore the race truce by Hillary & Obama: Our country needs to continue a candid, angry, confrontational, tears flowing discourse on race
I have no intentions of surrendering, retreating, or handcuffing myself with regard to such an important daily issue.
Hillary & Obama's agenda's do not define the nature of race in this country..
I found the banter quite revealing and educational especially when it got nasty and gritty.
I also find it amazing how so many people have the "good soilder mentality" they take marching orders from some so-called higher authority
Not this is negro/colored guy... Not now Not ever..

IT GETS MORE STUPID - NOT ROUGHER
Now, comes the part where both campaigns get stupid and Both Emperors Have No New Clothes. Of course, the person who gets hurt the most is him because he's been all about the "new" and she's been about the "do."
We expect this of the Clintons. They have learned nothing by now if not to fight back and scratch back at whomever attacks them. Call it lessons from 8 years and millions of dollars of deliberate, calculated, trumped up, political attacks from a GOP-controlled Congress, ending with a laughable Impeachment for marital infidelity. Did Obama really think he would be immune from the Clintons? Does anyone?
Nope, Obama can't mix it up in this racial tug-of-war or he comes off as looking just like every other candidate who has ever run a competitive race for President. And Obama just can't look "regular" or even "normal" lest he jeopardize his Messiah message.
And by the way, JFK wanted the Civil Rights Act passed but died before he could do it. LBJ was the white face that sat in the Oval Office at that time, had the congressional relationships needed to push it through, and, in fact, pushed it through even though it wasn't the most popular piece of legislation at that time. Everyone who knows history knows that. So what's the bitch here? Nobody claimed that LGJ did it all by himself. And everybody knows that if it had not been for MLK, it never would've happened at that time.
Can we just get along?
That's why I'm not voting for either Hillary or Obama. Neither of them are ready to get honest with themelves, let alone the the country! I was with Edwards four years ago, and see no reason to back off now. Actually, haircut and million dollar house and all, he's the only one speaking truth out there.

a terrible lesson
there is more to this race/gender debate than the two candidates. everyone is getting the dark side of what a run by any candidate with identity politics will look like. there is a danger that people will get fed up with both sides and go back to good old white males who duke it out. more civilized. perhaps obama should have let clinton take her turn, and perhaps clinton should let obama run the entire show because where the united states and the world is concerned he is going to give us a lot more bang for this battle than she will. she is another clinton after all. what is new about that? and really, richardson and biden have more experience if that is the issue. finding your voice after all the years is a bit lame. the fatigue level is just getting higher and higher with these candidates and it bodes badly for the democrats in the end.

Media Circus
It's hard to believe that everyone is buying into all of this. Even republican observers are chiming in to say what a ridiculous farce it is. Who let this blow out of proportion and why do Salon readers buy into it? Clinton stumbled through a response but anybody can look at the Clinton record on race and gender equality and see that she is on the forefront of the progressive movement. You people are treating her like she is part of the right wing and it truly and only speaks to the degeneration of democrats. Wake up. You are being played by the media which has succeeded once again in turning a big nothing into a neurotic something.
