Sorry to gloat but
Obama stepping on Hillary's non concession speech last night had me cheering at my TV! Had she even mentioned him as anything other than my opponent and at least acknowledged his win in WI it would have bothered me she got tossed aside for his speech but since she didn't and was only using it as an opportunity to stump I think the smack down was warranted.

Why does she find it so hard to be gracious ? Its almost funny in light of the whole fake snub incident.

1. He didn't "step" on her speech...
Both speeches were scheduled ahead of time and she was 50 minutes late.

3. Well thats true but
If you think they weren't aware that she was on speaking, I think you ignore the competence his campaign has shown so far. She went late at her own peril but I don't believe for a second He wasn't aware she was on speaking.

2. I cheered too when Obama spoke on tv
I find myself going online to find his speeches to replay and post online. Has anyone done that for ANY politician lately?

6. I agree she brought it on herself
Both with her timing and her refusal to give anything remotely resembling a concession speech.

10. I did hear Begala on CNN
Saying something about she had a bunch of new material coming in her speech last night. Of course I also heard him say later that it turned out to be the same old crap.

Its beginning to be entertaining watching him try to stand up for her, when its clear he see's the writing on the wall.

11. As someone on MSNBC said last night, why should Obama cede
prime time to her, AGAIN, when all she's going to do is attack him and give another stump speech instead of a concession or acknowledgment of WI?

12. Why indeed? He's got to watch out for his own best interests,
especially now.
