One Problem With Hillary as VP
As Joe Sudbay at AMERICAblog points out, there's a serious problem with the idea of Hillary Clinton as Obama's VP. She, but much more likely Bill, might not pass the vetting process.
Comments
What a sexist comment. Why do you hate America?
Jonathan doesn't hate America. It's just that their relationship, like most, is complicated. There are good times and bad times, there are rough spots and fond memories. They have managed to remain together thus far through all the difficulty. Besides, honesty is important in relationship. Jonathan knows this...hopefully America can come around to this concept, as well, and they can remain together...FOR THE CHILDREN.

Why is it sexist to think that Hillary wouldn't be right for the VP? Bill Clinton has demonstrated that he's a loose cannon and has made it evident that he has selfish reasons for wanting his wife back in the White House. He and his accompanying baggage will be the reason she gets spurned by the Obama campaign.

To be clear, folks, this post has to do with Bill's business interests and the questions surrounding the fundraising for his foundation.

OK. One question I haven't really seen asked. Why the vitriol at the bare mention of a former Pres.'s wife as Pres, when we have the SON of an ex-Pres serving his SECOND term, the first of which resulted from a contested likely-unconstitutional manipulation of the Supreme Court, and who has enacted the very worst "continuations" of his father's worst policies, to such detriment of our nation that he is the most disrespected Pres ever? Not that the article addresses this, but I think it every day. Utter hypocrisy. (And yes, since I was speaking about America, I wanted to pun with "udder")

Hillary Clinton is too wild eyed when talking about her hopeful destruction of Obama, like happened to Kennedy for her husband. Obama had better steer clear of Hillary Clinton and any of her cohorts.

Even if we give Hillary the benefit of the doubt - that her intentions were only educational - why would we want someone in the Oval Office who is so vastly ignorant of the alienating impact her comments will have?

Black Americans, and many of all races are EXTREMELY disturbed by Hillary's insinuation of a possible assassination of Barack Obama. To imply that her reason for staying in the race is because anything can happen, then nonchalantly say that even Robert Kennedy was assassinated in June, meaning therefore she should stay in, is not only pitifully diobolical but incredibly dangerous.
As I read some of the comments, I sense that some do not understand the true impact of her deadly insinuation. Keep in mind, when it was first announced that Obama was running for President, the initial concern in Black America was his safety. "Would some nut sniper him"? Obama had to hire secret service security right out of the gate.....why? Because of the true possibilty of some nut doing harm to him or his family.
Also, during the last 50 years, the people who have been assassinated have ALL been leaders who were working toward equality for ALL. John F., Robert and of course Dr. King. So just the WORD assassination brings to us not only an extreme fear but is a reminder of the incredibly sad loss to America, particularly Blacks, at the hands of the sick and wicked. For Hillary Clinton, a so-called leader, to insinuate, for WHATEVER reason assassination....is beyond disgusting. It subliminally sparks the hatred, bigotry and destruction that most Americans have worked so hard to overcome.
