    Lah lah lah

    'I think Hillary & her supporters needs to reach out to Obama, and put aside their anger...'

    He has the right to call the shots as a nominee? Without yet coming close to securing the election in November? He has everything to lose by not courting voters...the voters have nothing PERSONAL to lose NOT voting for him. Don't confuse who needs whom. And taking another pot shot at Bill Clinton ain't making it any better.

    ***

    Hillary is now speaking at AIPAC. She's labelled our relationship with Israel a 'special relationship'...I guess the UK has been downgraded.

    She's just quickly defended Obama, saying Israel wouldn't have a better friend than him.

    So you got that Obama supporters? She's closing her primary campaign, so quit the bloody ranting...she's going out on her terms, and she has the right to do so.
