Does anyone else see the hypocrisy in this article? Yes, he met with her. It wasn't a hard offer. He is cautious and elegant. He took a big step toward Hillary. They talked about what happened during the campaign. He was respectful. She is great. He gave her a huge amount of support. She cares about health care. He reached out to her. He took a big step. She reciprocated. He does not want to be rejected by her. It's hers to turn down. Good grief, it reads like some kind of weird, sadistic mating ritual.
I think we're being played like a violin. Obama has seen the power of The Hillary and the enormous support she has. My prediction: There will be an announcement that she was offered the position of Secretary of State and she turned it down. Then, we can all get back to Palin bashing.

Details on Hillary-Barack Meeting
ABC News' Martha Raddatz reports: President-elect Barack Obama met with Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y., Thursday in Chicago to discuss the possibility of the senator becoming secretary of state.
A source with knowledge of the transition process describes the meeting as not a hard offer. Obama is more cautious than that.
He is doing this more elegantly, but a source said Obama took a big step toward Hillary. They had a long private meeting in which they talked about their philosophies and what had transpired during the campaign.
He was extremely respectful, saying she was great, and giving her a huge amount of support. He said that he knew how much she cared about health care but said there are other challenges, and wanted to reach out to her about secretary of state.
They were both cautious but again took a big step toward her. She reciprocated.
Obama does not want to be seen as being rejected by her, but it is “hers to turn down,” one source put it.
They have an agreement to have another meeting or phone conversation about this very soon.
ABC News has also confirmed that New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson met with Obama in Chicago today, per a Democratic source. Richardson has also been rumored to be a candidate for the Secretary of State position.

More building up of the Obama Fantasy - at the expense of Hillary.
I really detest those people - I mean, BO and friends and the MSM.
Me, too. Somehow, I don't think it's going to stop anytime soon...
We're in for a very long four years.
On an unrelated subject, I just read a NYT's article on Rove. With regard to Joe Biden, Rove said "I think he has an odd combination of longevity and long-windedness that passes for wisdom in Washington."
We're screwed.
