The Location of the "Private" Obama-Clinton Meeting Was Dianne Feinstein's Living Room

Speculation runs rampant sometimes and I have seen some ridiculous theories posed about where this "secret" meeting between Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama was held.

It was held in Senator Dianne Feinstein's living room. There has been speculation about where the meeting between Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama took place and to put such speculation to rest, we have the answer.

Clinton called Feinstein to ask her if she could use her home to meet with Barack Obama and Feinstein, who had previously made the offer, allowed it.

Mrs. Feinstein had made the offer before and it was still good. And so a few hours later, at just about 9 p.m., Mrs. Clinton and Senator Barack Obama arrived for a face to face chat. No staff. No spouses. Just the two of them in Mrs. Feinstein’s living room.

The California senator had set up two chairs facing each other. She served them water. Nothing else. Two aides were sent to Mrs. Feinstein’s study. And Secret Service agents stayed outside.


The meeting lasted about an hour and the general theme was discussed in a previous Wake up America piece.

Feinstein commented by saying, "I can speak, I think, for Senator Clinton. She wants to do everything she can to bring the party together. She wants to do everything she can to see the people who voted for her have their voices heard and that’s reflected in credentials, platform. And she wants to have a working relationship with Senator Obama, and I think it’s a very positive thing.”

When reporters pressed Feinstein for more details, she made it clear that Obama and Clinton got along just fine, but didn't divulge that she had any knowledge of the details of the private meeting.

One mystery solved.
