I admit off the bat. This is probably nothing. But ain't it fun to speculate?
Last week Barack Obama spoke yet again with Al Gore.
What did they talk about?
More below the fold.
What a crappy tease to find out that Barack ain't saying.
"The last time I talked to Al Gore was last week," Senator Barack Obama said today, speaking to reporters as he flew from Chicago to Washington.
That morsel of information was buried near the end of a question-and-answer session. Asked if he would divulge what they talked about, Mr. Obama smiled and simply said, "No."
So will he or won't he?
How about Edwards?
Mr. Obama said he had spoken to him "within the last two weeks." Asked if he was expecting anything from Mr. Edwards, Mr. Obama replied, "Some good advice."
Pretty cheeky, Senator Obama.
What's up? Is anything up? Is there something going on that we should know about or am I reading far too much into this?
Speculatin' is fun ain't it?
Obama Chats With Gore.
UPDATE
Here's how I see this situation as it is right now.
It reminds me of my sister's kids and the way they play games. When they can't win, they change the rules. My sister and her husband indulge that because they hate the drama. They figure, what's the big deal? It's just a game. It used to be I'd play and this would happen and I'd just sit by and watch it because they weren't my kids. It wasn't my business, really. But it bothered me.
Then last summer, we were all playing UNO. Little Zach, 10-years-old, looks over my shoulder and announces my cards. This pissed me off. My family is serious about cards. Even freakin' UNO.
So I put my cards down and gave the kid a choice. Play right or I don't play with him anymore. He chose to play right. I didn't yell. I wasn't mean. I just laid out the facts and told it like it was. For him, there might have been a healthy amount of fear or respect or however you want to characterize it but he played right the rest of the visit.
I see the Democratic Party as that over indulgent parent and Hillary Clinton as the spoiled brat who won't play right. Now we need a strong parent - a Gore or someone of his ilk to step in and provide some tough love because this is out of hand.
And THAT's what I'm hoping this was about.
