Two other interesting accounts from the Post's Trail blog support that view, reporting that it was a day-long affair.

First, Clinton and Obama avoided each other this afternoon on the Senate floor. Or perhaps she was the one doing the avoiding:

For most of this lovefest, Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton remained out of view, having stepped into the cloakroom during the first vote.

I don't know, there's no way to interpret that with any certainty.

Then, as all the Senators gathered in the chamber at 8:20, to head over to the House:

the leading candidates for the Democratic presidential nomination did not come near each other, much less address the other.

Also, another nugget: in the afternoon, when Senator Clinton was in the cloak room, she

ran into [Senator] Kennedy, and the two exchanged greetings, according to people familiar with the conversation.

So she had said hello to Kennedy earlier. To me it then seems a bit odd that she would come over and do the same thing again.

More and more, he just seems to me to be a "with us or against us" kind of guy.  We have one of those already.

Come on, give us a day to gloat, at least.  It's such a revelation to finally see an article in the national media that actually says something negative about Obama.

If it was an isolated instance, it would be judged differently.

And you know what, I'm not going to let any facts or any other politician bamboozle me or hoodwink me into believing otherwise. I'm telling Ray Ray and Pookie up the block too.

Because you know Senator Clinton never cried for Katrina. Those tears melted the granite state, but "as we move on to South Carolina, where 45% of the electorate is black, we have to ask where those tears were during Katrina."

Oh wait.. South Carolina already happened.

Oprah asked.. is he the one.. "Yes South Carolina, I do believe he is the one."

Well. gosh darn it, if Oprah says it, then he must be "the one."

For a candidate that knows the truth and doesn't just speak it, I know in my heart that when he turns his back, its actually a gesture of humility.

1 archaic : prostitute

2[probably partly from 3punk] : nonsense foolishness

3 a: a young inexperienced person : beginner novice; especially : a young man b: a usually petty gangster, hoodlum, or ruffian c slang : a young man used as a homosexual partner especially in a prison

4 a: punk rock b: a punk rock musician c: one who affects punk styles

I hope you are ignorant, and don't understand the origins of that word.  

This was a dumb thing to do.  Do I think it means Obama will be a bad president or have bad policies?  No.  But I think it means there's a chance that the next couple of days are spent on the press chattering about how Obama snubbed Hillary.  That's bad for Obama - it makes him seem small and petty.
