When, and if, it comes time to look for a running mate, Barack Obama will be looking for "somebody who knows about a bunch of stuff that I'm not an expert on.'' This was the senator's word at a closed-door fundraiser last night in San Francisco, the Huffington Post reports. Obama fielded a question on what he's looking for in a running mate, HuffPo''s Mayhill Flower writes. "I would like somebody who knows about a bunch of stuff that I'm not as expert on," the senator is quoted as saying. "I think a lot of people assume that might be some sort of military thing to make me look more commander-in-hief-like. Ironically, this is an area--foreign policy is the area where I am probably most confident that I know more and understand the world better than Sen. Clinton or Sen. McCain.

Barack Obama’s only as eloquent as his speechwriter.
“Obama will be looking for “somebody who knows about a bunch of stuff that I’m not an expert on.”
That won’t be difficult to find.
Barack is the guy that the left tried to make Dan Quayle out to be.
Hilarious. The VP candidate needs to know everything then, because Omaba is so ill-suited for the office he aspires to, it is ridiculous.
I have noticed lately that when asked questions off the cuff, he’s starting to stammer a little. He’s getting in over his head.
Obama looking to outsource the Presidency so that he can just glow in the spotlight... Obama might be eloquent but he is an eloquent idiot.... very dangerous....
Hey Barak! Navin Johnson knows some stuff.
That should be on a bumper-sticker. :-)
Barack is the guy that the left tried to make Dan Quayle out to be.Very well said. Better than Post of the Day. This should be on the main page of FR.
FWIW, I have less of a prob with what he said than how he said it. And I only have a prob with that because of Obama’s alleged articulance :)
If he actually said this, I'm surprised. He talks as though he is an expert on everything.
And this is the guy people are having orgasms over.
~shaking head~
Poppycock! Obama is a new god so the Left tells us. There ain’t nuttin’ he don’t already know.
And he can always “wing it” like when he talks about finances and stuff.
Just let Rev Wright do all the talking for him
B-Hussein-O is a straw man. I think someone behind the scenes got him into the race to stir the pot and cause trouble for Her Heinous and Clinton, Inc. I don’t think anyone saw him as the front-runner and possible RAT candidate. JMHO
This guy has been toking way too long on that Mary Jane or some other stuff if he thinks he knows more about the military and foreign affairs than McCain.
Of course, when looking at the world through his Black Liberation Theology colored glasses and their view of the world, he may have a point. But that has nothing to do with the best interest of the United States of America or her people.

I know Jack Schidt. Do I qualify?
On the other hand they have Hillary who is like the kid in grade school who always sat in the first row, always had her hand up and always had long answers to every question.
If there is tape of him saying this, he just screamed Dean’s Last Scream “Eiiiaaaaarrrrggggghhhh!”
Why debate Obama when you should really be debating Obama’s VP who by his own admission “knows more”?
