Talking Points Memo reports Obama Making Private Calls Appealing To Hillary's Top Fundraisers -- And Sometimes Hearing Criticism In Return. "According to sources, the Hillary fundraisers' criticism of Obama on these calls has focused partly -- but not exclusively -- on a demand that Obama do more to retire Hillary's campaign debt."
To make friends you have to do things, but this seems odd to me. He campaigned against her, she ran a fiscally irresponsible campaign and now the victor has to bail out the loser? Why are her supporters saying he has to pay off her debt? Shouldn't it be that he talk to her supporters and convince them to pay off their candidates debt?

The thing that is most baffling to me is that I understand that he can't actually pay off her debt according to campaign finance laws.. He can campaign FOR her and lobby people to contribute money to her to help her pay off her debt, but I don't think he can take money from his campaign coffers and simply give it to hers.
