The phone is ringing.
Ring….ring…..ring
Finally the phone is picked up.
A Man’s voice says: Hello?
A woman says ‘Hi, is Barry there’?
The reply is ‘Who is this?’
The woman replies ‘uh-this is Hillary Clinton.’
The reply is ‘Just a minute.’
Someone else comes on the phone and says ‘Hey, it is not 3 am – why are you calling?’
He continues ‘Hey—I was just kidding Ms. Clinton. Barack will be here in minute. He’s in the head.’
BO: Hello?
HC: Hi Barack, this is Hillary.
BO: Hey, how ya doin’?
HC: Hi Barack….. I was just wondering… well I mean if you could see your way to select me as your VP – I think that America and especially the Democratic party would be united towards electing a democratic president --- this next time around.
BO: It is so nice to hear from you, Hillary. Your voice is so much in tune with a need for a change that America wants and needs.
HC: Barack, I thought that you might want to change a bit more and add me to your VP list.
BO: Hillary, I totally and completely respect you and everything you have done, but – welll …but…
HC: yes…?
BO: uh the thing is that you cannot give sermons like my former pastors have that garnered much acclamation to my campaign. Wait – that might not be the right explanation. uh – you cannot bring the racists over to my side – in fact you kinda – sort of begged them on in your campaign…
HC: Barack, that was then and this is now.
