***********************************

Obama: i'm black and proud – i like hillary but we can't look back - it's the past vs. the future and guess which one I am

Wolf: i know! i know!

Obama: we will always be friends when i am president if ever need an old person's advice i will call hillary

Clinton: after all the celebrating over the history of electing a black guy you'll find a heap of problems and this good-looking well-spoken kid next to me is not ready to handle them

Wolf: and you are?

Clinton: damm right i rode herd over Bill for eight years and that wasn't easy

Politico dood: what's the worst thing about Obama's policies

Clinton: well first we agree that the GOP sucks ass but i like health care and i take housing seriously and i also think that there are evil mustchaed men posing serious threats to us and i wouldn't grovel before them

Politco: you sound like a Republican

Clinton: no way there are no girls allowed at simi valley

Obama: Hillary and Romney think that the reason people don't have health care is that the government hasn't ordered them to go out and buy it - well i disagree

Wolf: but people love ERs - you ever see that tv show? there's lots of sex there

Obama: i don't like the interest rate freeze - that screws people not in arms now

Wolf: what happened with housing anyway?

Obama: lobbyists bought and paid for the US government

Wolf: oh

Obama: she brought up foreign policy so i will point out that she is unapologetic hawk and yes i do favor not bombing people but meeting with them - deal with it

Question: but why not force people to buy health insurance

Obama: hey under mandates people will also go without health insurance and as i said the real issue is people who can't afford it’s not people who are dodging it

Clinton: i tried to get people health in rural Arkansas and that wasn't easy

Leslie: so true

Clinton: i learned my lesson from 1993 we will offer choice but also we will make it affordable by handing out subsidies called tax credits

Leslie: neat-o

Clinton: and then there are the lazy uninsured fuckers

Clinton: you must start with universal health care or else be nibbled to death by ducks

Leslie: Obama what about the lazy fuckers???

Obama: she says she has enough subsidies well she doesn't and we have to lower premiums or else all this is moot

Leslie: thats a funny word

Obama: Ted Kennedy has 45 years experience and he endorsed me

Leslie: yeah but only because she dissed his brother

Hillary: thats a lie

Obama: look on C-SPAN

Wolf: is that a swipe at Hillary

Obama: oh sure dumbass

Clinton: remember when bill was president - i did a lot of the good things that you recall

Obama: da bulls

Clinton: i will demand insurance companies cover pre-existing conditions

Wolf: including wolf-man syndrome?

Doyle McM: Obama wants to pull out of Iraq and you don’t

Hillary: i want to bring our men and equipment out but we have an obligation to Blackwater and our drivers and translators who will be killed if we leave

Obama: death rates are back to 2005 levels well whoop-dee-fucking-doo

Leslie: please your language

Obama: sorry if mass death offends you

[Leslie strokes beard]

Obama: gravitas is being serious about war and not rushing into getting involved in a land war in Asia

Wolf: Hillary was your vote for war a mistake

Clinton: no i did due dilligence and Saddam has a scary mustache and i hoped it would work

Obama: hope monger!

Clinton: no one could have anticipated that Bush would use force against Iraq if he was given an authorization to use force

Leslie: was she naive Obama

Obama: oh no way dood
