Obama slams Hillary on the VP offer
Stating he is in the #1 position in States and votes both popular and delegates won

so how can she offer the 2nd slot

Quoted Bill in 92 saying the VP needs to be able to step in and be POTUS at any moment


So why would they say he isn't ready to be President repeatedly over the past 2 weeks and then say, we think you are ready if you take the second position




In Mississippi stump speech

He is not impressed with her tactics

1. He could add,
"If anything I should be talking about taking her on my ticket."

6. Isn't it MORE arrogant for a person in 2nd place to offer the VP to the leader?

Come on.... even Clinton supporters still have a SHRED of common sense.... right?

10. so it's arrogance when Obama, the frontrunner, declines
Hillary's implied offers of the VP place, but it's not arrogance when Hillary, the LOSING party, makes such an implied offer. How perfectly Orwellian.

17. Except that Hillary would've lost fairly
As of right now, there's a very small chance that Obama will lose the nomination fairly. Hillary has a few scenario that work in her favor:

1) Superdelegates overturn will of the voters
2) Michigan and Florida's delegates are seated as is
3) Racists balk at the possibility of a Black candidate and overwhelmingly break for Clinton in unprecedented swings

Out of those 3 choices, it's quite telling that the racist scenario is the fairest and cleanest option for Clinton.

If Hillary's supporters sabotage the Democratic Party and create internal strife simply due to the fact that their candidate lost by the long-established rules of the contest, then they deserve to be hosed with BBQ sauce and have German Shepherds unleashed on them.

24. LMFAO.. yeah right.. Face it, trying to divide the party
Edited on Mon Mar-10-08 12:37 PM by walldude
like that is pointless, there may be a few people here who will refuse to vote for Obama or Hillary but the fact is that when one gets the nomination the people in the others camp will get behind the person facing off against the Republican. Most of us are still Dems.


Oh and BTW, what's best for the party is not to hold higher esteem for the republican opponent over the Dem opponent. No Hillary supporter has the right to play the "what's best for the party" card, they can excuse what their candidate said but no one with any brains whatsoever can say that what she said is "good for the party".

25. YES! I wouldn't go so far as to call these tactics on Sen.Clinton's part.
They are, instead, frantic attempts to see what sticks!

Please notice all this is happening in Mississippi. This is one of the most politically cynical and nearly racist tactics HRC and her bully boys have come up with yet. It is ludicrous and shameful.

28. Hillary talking out both sides her mouth again..
Good for calling her on it...

"But, but, when the phone rings at 3:00 A.M., Only Johnny boy and I are ready....CLAP CLAP POINT POINT"

43 seconds later...

"Barack, will you be my VP pretty please" tear...

29. What an ego
If elected he will be every bit as bad as Bush.

Big ego, insecure, chip on his shoulder, issues with seeking revenge on behalf of his father.

We don't need that again.

You mean offering the candidate who's beating you your VP slot? And who said anything about his father?

33. Obama's issues about his father are easy to read
Hence his support of the Muslim AA community. I sometimes wonder if he's elected we'll end up in a quagmire in Kenya instead of Iraq.

His father was hardly a presence in his life, and your post is bullshit.

44. Depends on the young man, I'd say.
In Obama's case, his stepfather and his grandfather were both role-models/father figures. He turned out VERY well, I'd say. To compare him with * is more than ridiculous, in fact it's not even worth discussing.
