Joint Statement from Maggie Williams, Senior Advisor to Senator Clinton and David Axelrod, Senior Strategist to Senator Obama

The following is a joint statement from Maggie Williams, Senior Advisor to Senator Clinton and David Axelrod, Senior Strategist to Senator Obama in response to the false story that appeared last night online on politico.com.

"We understand that some in the news media are more interested in reporting the rumor of controversy than the fact of unity. The fact is that our teams are working closely to ensure a successful convention and will continue to do so. Senator and President Clinton fully support the Obama/Biden ticket and look forward to addressing the convention and the nation on the urgency of victory this Fall. Anyone saying anything else doesn't know what they're talking about. Period."

TPM Muckracker is digging further into the story of the deceptive robo-calls in North Carolina that targeted African-American voters.

(Note: My earlier dairy on this subject, Clinton backers behind deceptive robo-calls aimed at blacks, was pulled from the top of the rec list by someone in charge.)

I just received this from the Clinton campaign, Earlier today I'd watched a snippet of Barack's historic upcoming Fox interview where he says there have been 21 debates and he'd rather meet with voters, thank you very much.  But, maybe he'll change his mind. He and Lincoln are both tall men from Illinois, maybe the comparison will make this an offer he can't refuse.  

Here's the memo:

UPDATE: (sorry I didn't add this earlier) No more two minute limit, now the offer is the two of them agree on the rules. he can chose his weapon, short sword or long handled rake. (metaphors, means brief answers or long answers).

Today, an AfroSpear colleague, Yobachi Boswell, turned me on to  an  astounding bit of well-sourced, campaign-acknowledged information about Hillary Clinton's campaign manager, "Sub-prime Maggie" Williams:

WASHINGTON - Hillary Clinton spends considerable time on the campaign trail bemoaning unscrupulous lenders who have left millions of Americans scrambling to keep their homes but all the while her campaign manager, Margaret "Maggie" Williams, has sat on the board of one of the nation's once-largest and now-bankrupt sub-prime mortgage lenders.

Clinton Communications Director Howard Wolfson told FOXNews.com late Sunday that Williams, a longtime Clinton ally, didn't join Clinton's Democratic presidential campaign as a volunteer until after Delta Financial Corporation -- for which Williams is a director -- went bankrupt in December 2007.

That's more than seven years after Williams joined New York-based Delta Financial in 2000. She became a director one month after a federal settlement was reached with the lender over discriminatory lending practices. More recently, Delta has been accused by consumer advocates of pursuing predatory practices throughout the housing boom and bust.  Faux News

 Now, I know this comes from Fox News, but Fox News got it directly from the mouth of Howard Wolfson, one of Hillary Clinton's principal campaign spokespeople.  

Yeah, I know this information about "Sub-prime Maggie" makes Hillary look terribly bad, and I know it comes from a source (Faux News) that hates Democrats, but I have an even more fundamental concern:  Is it true?  If so, I think it really does bring into question the future commitment of Hillary's people, particularly Sub-prime Maggie Williams to address mortgage lending in a fair-handed way.

Remember what happened when we elected a vice president who came directly from Halliburton Corp., which might just as well be known as "War, Corp."?  That's right, we got TWO wars, neither of which is over yet.  This is a good reason to doubt the wisdom of electing a president whose campaign manager, Sub-prime Maggie, comes from one of the sub-prime lenders that has caused a near melt-down in America's economy.

Guys, this is the proof that Clinton is unelectable. Totally!
