Dianne Feinstin describes meeting between Obama and Hillary.
The New York Times have article this morning on the meeting between Obama and Hillary. It took place at Dianne Feinstein's home near American University. This while CNN had someone camped out watching Hillary's DC home.
The article answers some of our questions:
How long was the meeting?
And so it happened, The Meeting, that Democrats knew was inevitable, but for a long while thought would never come. It lasted about an hour.
Was anyone else present?
"They talked for about an hour," she said. "Just them. No staff. There were no press, no staff. They had one person from each campaign that was in my study separately and I guess the security people outside. They got along very well."
When was the meeting set up?
Senator Dianne Feinstein of California got the call from Hillary Rodham Clinton Thursday afternoon: Could she, would she let Mrs. Clinton use her home in Northwest Washington for a little sit-down with a certain senator from Illinois, the presumptive Democratic nominee for president of the United States?
Mrs. Feinstein had made the offer before and it was still good.
What was said?
Ah, there Sen. Feinstein leaves it to our imagination
Mrs. Feinstein also said that she hoped the conversation would lead to greater party unity, and that Mrs. Clinton was intent on respecting the views of her supporters and looking out for the interests of her staff, as the general election unfolds.
"I can speak, I think, for Senator Clinton. She wants to do everything she can to bring the party together," Mrs. Feinstein said. "She wants to do everything she can to see the people who voted for her have their voices heard and that’s reflected in credentials, platform. And she wants to have a working relationship with Senator Obama, and I think it’s a very positive thing."
She does mention that there was "no shouting." No more detail on that the "working relationship" might entail.
