Detente?
June 5, 2008
Per Barack Obama spokesman Robert Gibbs:
Obama has stayed behind in Washington as the traveling press is about to take off from Dulles for Chicago without him. Gibbs said the senator is not scheduled to be back in Washington for a while so his team scheduled a "couple of meetings" for him. Obama is expected to fly back to Chicago later this evening for a down weekend with his family.
When asked if Obama is meeting with Hillary Clinton, Gibbs said he wouldn't discuss the specifics of his stay. The press waited for the candidate on the plane for more than 45 minutes before it became apparent that Obama wasn't coming.
