Breaking: Clinton to Endorse Obama

Tue Nov 27, 2007 at 07:37:45 AM PDT

In an unprecedented act in Presidential politics, today Hillary Clinton announced that she as Senator of New York will be endorsing Senator Obama for the Democratic Primary in New York.

After many months of speculation, Hillary Clinton in a clear statement said, "I understand power and I understand money and the one who donates to my campaign is a friend of mine and that is why I endorse Senator Obama for Democratic nominee in this presidential election."

This comes on the heels of a controversial donation that Obama's Hopefund Leadership PAC made to Hillary Clinton's 2006 Senate Election Campaign.

Barack Obama stated in early 2006 that Hillary Clinton is a "friend and colleague who deserves my support."  What is striking is that these so called friends really can't stand each other today.  Was there more to this donation?
