After Bush's State Of the Union, Obama is Seen On TV News Shows but not Clinton

After Bush's numbingly boring State of the Union speech 08, Obama is interviewed by Olberman on MSNBC and appears on CNN. Barack is asked about Senator Ted Kennedy's "anointment" of him to be the Democratic standard bearer for President. Brian Williams mentions that he asked Hillary Clinton questions about Bill Clinton's future role in the campaign. Brian says "she is not having any of it". After that, it became quite apparent that Senator Clinton would not/did not appear on either of the two above mentioned major TV news shows. I understand why the disappearing act as she would have only been barraged with questions about Bill's campaign tactics which the press interpreted as very demeaning of Barack, their new savior on their newly found frontier of politics which they see Barack as inheriting from the Kennedy era.

I think it was a smart move on Hillary's part not to appear as the whole focus was not on her but on her husband which I feel would not have benefited her in any way. It would have been in her view I believe a waste of time and I agree with that sentiment fully, although obviously I am just second guessing this non news event. Perhaps, Hillary can use this bias of the media to her advantage. Next time she comes on the air which I suspect would be soon, she can blast the male idiots for their extreme bias against her. They obviously are not taking her seriously. All they want to do is gossip about what Bill did or said or what he meant. I think much too much is being made of the Bill thing. The media would have distorted whatever he said or did not say as they are just waiting for a chance to see him slip. It might be a good idea for Bill to take a break or maybe better for him to come back with an assault of his own against these obssessive anti-woman, anti-Hillary male interrogators i.e. Chris Matthews and Brian Williams. Have I left anyone out?
