I'm afraid I was listening with one ear because one of my sons was talking about something else. But what I recall was an assertion that Obama was as quick to take the low road as Hillary, which was jumped on by everyone, including the other party; an ultimatum that the Obama people better start repairing the damage done to Hillary if the party hoped to do well in the general election; and finally her demeanor, which was - and I'm certain I'm not saying this because I've been reading her columns here, but merely from the show itself - beyond sad. She looked as if the world had ended. Interestingly, she was the "Hillary" person in the lineup of guests. She was the person to whom the Clinton comments or questions were directed, while the rest of the panel took Obama.
I'm going to get hate mail for this post, and deservedly so, because I was catching tiny sections of it through a conversation that had most of my attention. So I emphasize that this is a highly incomplete report. But what I saw of it was that she looked genuinely miserable, and still could not stop looking at this as "everything happens to Clinton."
Oh - I am pretty sure there was something about the process having been useful in vetting Obama on Wright and the Weathermen, because people within the party had legitimate questions about his association with, especially, Wright. Democrats were concerned, worried, and she's not sure these questions have really been answered.
