Remember the embarrassingly schmaltzy 60 Minutes segment in which Obama and Hillary sat down with a swooning Steve Kroft and talked about what wonderful friends they had become? It was about the biggest load of crap I've ever seen on a show that specializes in it, and Kroft must have felt like one of those corporate PR guys who records a video "interview" with the CEO that's completely scripted and consists of nothing but softballs.
It was all part of a very determined effort following the bitter primary campaign of 2008 to convince people that the Obama and Clinton camps really loved each other now. Remember when Bill said Obama's whole persona was the biggest fairy tale he'd ever seen? Yeah. Never mind that! Remember when Obama said Hillary would say absolutely anything to get elected? Oh look! A squirrel!
