Obama Offers Hillary Position As Intern: "Time to Unite The Party"

Presumptive Democratic Presidential nominee Barack Obama today offered former rival Hillary Clinton a position as an intern in his campaign, sources said. “It’s time to bury our differences and celebrate our commonality. We are one party,” Obama said. “And we share one goal: denying George Bush a third term. We welcome the support of each and every Democrat, but, you know, some more than others, if you catch my drift.”

Campaign insiders said an unofficial offer had been extended to Clinton regarding her potential involvement. “We’re thinking an intern kind of thing. She’s welcome, pending a resume,” an Obama source said, speaking off the record. “We have plenty of openings for campaign support services, addressing mailers, putting up posters, the usual. No pay but a great learning experience with huge networking possibilities.”

Clinton had no immediate comment. Sources close to the former candidate said she was mulling her options. “She’s aiming a bit higher than that,” one source said. “But she’s not saying no to anything just yet."
