Breaking on DU: I've decided not to accept VP position.
After a long and careful decision making process, I've come to the conclusion that I shall not seek the VP position, or accept it if offered by Barack Obama. I just wanted to stop any rumors before they started.

22. It was NOT a wombat and I refuse to divulge any more details of the incident except to add
that contrary to published reports, no lolcats were involved.

5. I'm still trying to decide one way or the other, to be honest.
I see pros and cons. One pro is that I think I would enjoy living in the Naval Observatory. A con is that I heard there's lead in the water. A pro is that, as vice president, I could probably have something done about that.

I just can't decide. I'm going to have to ask everyone to be patient a little longer...

15. That's definitely a major PRO! I hadn't even thought of that!
Awesome. Although - not to be persnickety or anything - remember I'm "Yard Hussein Work" now.

6. Well, I decided to accept the position ONLY ON CONDITION that it includes a minimum of 8 hours ...
... per week of playtime with Malia and Sasha AND their new puppy. After all, I'm ALL about the future and keeping it real.

:dunce: :silly: :party:

11. As far as I know, I am still on the list.
I could help bring in the NRA vote. :) But probably lose it for him on everything else.
