How do you define a "secret" meeting?
I think it would be a meeting that is held in secret.
What a stupid headline: "Clinton and Obama hold secret meeting."
It's no secret. Obama held a "secret" meeting with John Edwards, too. For someone willing to meet with tyrants and terrorists without preconditions, why is Obama so secretive when it comes to meeting with his former primary opponents?
WASHINGTON -- Hillary Rodham Clinton and likely Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama met privately Thursday night to talk about uniting the Democratic Party.
"Senator Clinton and Senator Obama met tonight and had a productive discussion about the important work that needs to be done to suceed in November," their campaigns said in joint statement.
The statement included no details of their talks, as pressure mounted for Obama to invite Clinton to become his running mate.
Robert Gibbs, an Obama spokesman, would not say where the former rivals met, except that it was not at Clinton's home in Washington, as had been widely reported.
Reporters traveling with Obama sensed something might be happening between the pair might when they arrived at Dulles International Airport after an event in Northern Virginia and Obama was not aboard the airplane.
Asked at the time about the Illinois senator's whereabouts, Gibbs smiled and declined to comment.
Is that what they mean by "secret"?
No one knows exactly where they met?
WHO CARES?
Later in this article from the Associated Press is this statement:
Obama is seeking to become the first black president.
Really?
I thought he was seeking to become the president of the United States.
Guess not.
Clinton has told other friends and supporters she would be willing to be Obama's running mate. But her immediate task is bringing her own presidential bid to a close, and how.
In an e-mail to supporters, the New York senator said she "will be speaking on Saturday about how together we can rally the party behind Senator Obama. The stakes are too high and the task before us too important to do otherwise."
Clinton expressed the same sentiment in a conference call with 40 members of her national finance committee, whom she urged to begin raising money for Obama and for the Democratic National Committee.
"She was in good spirits and totally supportive, without qualification, of Senator Obama and his campaign," finance co-chairman Alan Patricof said of the call.
...On his campaign plane Thursday, Obama praised Clinton for inspiring millions of voters and said she had opened the doors for his two young daughters to imagine being president one day.
"We're going to speak to them but also listen to them and get advice," he said of Clinton's campaign team.
Obama also said he would welcome help from former President Clinton, calling him an "enormous talent."
Obama indicated he intends to take his time making a decision about inviting Hillary Clinton to join the ticket.
"We're not going to be rushed into it. I don't think Senator Clinton expects a quick decision and I don't even know that she's necessarily interested in that," Obama told NBC in an interview.
Yes. Well.
Politics is a nauseating business.
