Personally i don't think Hillary if offerd the VP should take it,Obama won't beat Mcain and Hillary will have a way better chance in 2012,conservative democrates don't like Obama with or without Hillary mainly because of his stand on infantcide(attempted abortion where the child is born alive yet denied life sustaining measures) and taxes,Hillary as President with Obama as Vp is a guaranteed win oh well i guess we will settle for Mcain im sure he will be a great leader.

NO WAY, too much baggage, and The Clintons would drag Obama down and all the drama would be all about the Clinton's past scandals and closed door deals, NO-NADA-BAD IDEA!!
And with her mouth and attitude, I do not trust her!
If he picks HRC you will have lost me and many more democrats. She is not entitled to be the President just because she is a Clinton and a "pardon deal" was made. NO!

"CHANGE"
US wants their government back!!

I don't know how strongly this can be stressed.
Picking Clinton invalidates his message of change.
All of the negatives and her pending case with Peter Paul coming up in Oct would sink him. Her lies, and his judgement would be called into play if he picked her. Snipergate, the 9/11 lie about her daughter, cafta, Bill's investments, peter paul, she has no ethics and he can't trust as all of her friends always have accidents. BILL would be in the way.
She'd galvanize the republicans to come out in droves to vote against her and obama would lose independent and republican votes.
PLUS white males aren't ready for THAT much change.

The Clintons are toxic. The Hillary supporters will come around when this is over. NO ONE wants McCain in office ESPECIALLY women if they study his position on women's rights.

She brings nothing to the ticket Obama can't get on his own. She doesn't bring a state or a demographic he can't reach. Her negatives FAR outweigh her positives

Hillary has run an especially despicable and deceptive campaign. There is enough backlash that her career as an mediocre politician is damaged beyond all repair. Obama doesn't need the baggage show Hillary the door.

Obama knows as much about change as I know about giving birth. Except that I at least known how to make that happen. Obama has never been involved in large-scale change in his life. He certainly showed no interest in change during his tenure in the Illinois Senate.

The only thing Obama knows about change is how to change jobs - he's had more than a dozen of 'em in the last 25 years. Obama has been a great salesman but his product is himself, not "change" or "hope" or whatever.

I doubt Obama can win with just the constituency he has now. Many Clinton supporters will either vote for McCain or stay home. So he has to find a way for Clinton to come out of this a winner. A Supreme Court nomination is a good possibility.

If McCain wins - despite all the Democrats' advantages going into this election cycle - Obama will not be called a visionary leader or an agent of change. He will be called a loser and his political career will be finished.

Superdelegates jumping ship on Obama!!!!
Kevin Rodriquez, a superdelegate from the Virgin Islands, was supporting Clinton earlier this year, then switched to Obama and, according to the Clinton campaign tonight, is now back in the New York senator’s corner.

Thank you President Bill Clinton on calling out the main stream media like CNN & MSNBC on the complete disrepect and unfair treatment of Senator Clitnon and women in general, they have continued to receive and endure assults from these biased scared tabloid media fools, like Ken Oberman and Chris Matthews with their man infatuation with Obama...its funny how they claim over and over Clinton Lies but Obama flubbs???? come on!!! OBAMAS gets caught in lie after lie after lie!!!!! why would ANY VOTER BELIEVE OBAMA CAMP!!!!!

OBAMA LIES AGAIN
http://www.dontvoteobama.net

Obama LIES about Concentration Camp Claim at an attempt to attract Jewish voters, Often Obama inaccurately recalls his own history and American history, so it's important that we point to the facts Barack Obama's dubious claim is inconsistent with world history and demands an explanation,"It was Soviet troops that liberated Auschwitz, so unless his uncle was serving in the Red Army, there's no way Obama's statement yesterday can be true. Obama's frequent exaggerations and outright distortions raise questions about his judgment and his readiness to lead as commander in chief.

Sen. Obama referrers to himself as 'a constitutional law professor on the campaign trail. TRUTH: He never held any such title! Obama changed website bio to reflect that he was a 'lecturer' rather than 'professor. Chicago Daily Herald

Judicial Watch: Klaus Marre-Obama ‘intended to leave no paper trail’ OBAMA REFUSES to cooperate in releasing 8 years of his state senate records. One main reason REZKO!

Obama gets 4 Pinocchio’s for 100 Years War-why national media won’t call out Obama for his distortions on McCain’s Iraq comments.

Washington Post caught Obama in a lie about the Kennedy family role claiming them helping his Father Contrary to Obama's claims Kennedy family did not provide the funding for a September 1959 historical records July 1960. Family Kennedy’s donated $100,000 to pay for a second airlift in September 1960.

Politico reports,“During his first run for elected office, Barack Obama played a greater role than he acknowledges in crafting liberal stands on gun control, the death penalty and abortion– positions that appear at odds with the more moderate image he’s projected during his presidential campaign. The evidence comes from an amended version of an Illinois voter group’s detailed questionnaire, filed under his name during his bid for a state Senate. In response to a Politico story, Obama’s answers he never saw questioaire?

NBC OBAMA LIES IN PA-AD
It's unfortunate that Senator Obama is using false advertising to explain why he can be trusted to do something about energy prices. In his ad, Obama says, I'm Barack Obama, and I don't take money from oil companies or lobbyists, and I won't let them block change any more. Obama has been the recipient of more than $220,000 from the oil and gas industry just since as of Feb/08. Two of Obama's campaign bundlers are also CEOs for oil and gas companies, per his campaign Web site? Obama dealings with one of his largest contributors Exelon, that he cut deals behind closed doors protecting them from full disclosure in the nuclear industry. Exxon, Shell, and others are among his biggest donors

Obamas record shows he infact did support the war when he got to the senate, voted twice against bringing America's troops back home. He voted for war appropriations giving our money to Halliburton and Blackwater where Texas woman, was gang-raped by her co-workers at a Halliburton/KBR camp in Baghdad, His latest bit of posturing S 433 allows the Bush Administration to suspend any troop withdrawal, if not suspended, keeps the troops in Iraq for a long time to come

Sen. Barack Obama shall be the President against all odds. This is because, time has come for the him to be there. He does not need any antics to be there. The seat is just there for him to occupy as destiny has put him there. Make no mistake, cue behind this man of destiny to bring to pass what God has purpose for USA.

If these two are on the same ticket, Senator Clinton should be on top.

I am absolutely disgusted by the Obama campaign distorting Senator Clinton's statement about the RFK assassination. Running a dirty campaign while saying the opposite doesn't fly with me. I don't think Obama should be in any position of power and responsibility.

I want to believe that the prophecy of: "a black man will ascend the Presidency of America one day" will come to pass in Sen. B. Obama's time. His occupation of the White House will not be because of anything qualification or otherwise, though they are necessary and he possesses them, but because destiny has put the Presidency in his hand in this dispensation.

Senator B. Obama can pick Cliton or anyone of his choice but the bottom line is that he must pick a person they can work and agree together. The choice is exclusively his and he should not gamble with it to pick a VP that will take him to the cleaner as we saw in Nigeria during the Presidency of Chief Olusegun Obasanjo and Alhaji Abubakar Atiku.Good luck to Obama, you are dealing!

a press secretary has to be a good liar, and bobby, you make a good point. hillary would be ideal for that position. the thing is though nobody would believe anything she said and thus she would be a detriment to pres. obama. god bless america,.
