Obama urges supporters to Help Clinton out of Debt

Obama donates $4,600 to Clinton's debt relief (http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080627/ap_on_el_pr/obama_clinton)

I understand the move because he's only trying to court her supporters but "bailing" a Multi-millionaire lawyer really bugs me.

Bill could make that money back 10 fold delivering handful of speeches...

I guess Obama's just circling his wagons much like McCain has on the other side...

He's doing it so that the Clinton supporters will go to bat for him. He has refused to send an email to donors who donate just a little bit at a time, saying they have a smaller income and he doesn't want to ask them to spend discretionary income on Clinton. He's basically asking Obama supporters who've already maxed out to support Clinton so in turn, the wealthy Clinton supporters will donate to Obama's general election fund.

All that being said, I'm angry at Obama for his compromise on giving Telecom companies immunity on the FISA bill. (http://www.salon.com/opinion/greenwald/2008/06/21/obama/index.html)
