WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Close-in supporters of Sen. Barack Obama's presidential campaign are convinced he never will offer the vice presidential nomination to Sen. Hillary Clinton for one overriding reason: Michelle Obama.
The Democratic front-runner's wife did not comment on other rival candidates for the party's nomination, but she has been sniping at Clinton since last summer. According to Obama sources, those public utterances do not reveal the extent of her hostility.
A footnote: Support is growing in Democratic ranks for Ohio Gov. Ted Strickland as vice president. He would bring to the ticket maturity (66 years old), experience (six terms in Congress) and moderation (rated "A" by the National Rifle Association). He is very popular in Ohio, a state Republicans must carry to elect a president.

Michelle’s a psycho moonbat bitch, but she ain’t crazy enough to urge her husband to become the next Ron Brown.
Strickland isn’t that popular in Ohio. The only thing Strickland has going for him is: He’s not Bob Taft.
Something tells me if this woman becomes First Lady she’ll make Hillary look like a shrinking violet. She already has an enormous chip on her shoulder and in the WH it will only grow larger with each passing day. Her skin is very, very thin.
That’s fine, an Obama ticket without a Hillary VP means millions of dem votes for McCain.
However, it is not paranoia when a black candidates wife openly broadcasts her hatred for everything white, whether including traditions or the constitution.
Obama and his crazy Cynthia McKinney look and act a like wife are more dangerous to America than Al Quieda.
He threw his Pastor under the bus...
If he'd throw his wife under the bus
he's got my vote!
For whatever reason, Ms. Obama has a personality that can only be described as "brittle."
For all her bluster, none of this intense public exposure can be at all healthy for her. It smells like the prelude to a tragedy for the Obama family.
The man needs a bigger bus
The wheels on the bus go round and round...
All this talk about an Obama/Hillary ticket....come Jan 21, it is likely that there would be an “incident”, which would leave Hillary as President. As much as I don’t like Obama, I’m pretty sure he isn’t stupid enough to have his rival as #2 on the ticket. He’d be looking over his shoulder so much, he’d be walking into walls and doors.
If he takes Hillary that means having Bill around too! I don’t think they would be loyal to the president, and you never know when they would do something to embarrass or undercut him. So I think he would be a fool to run with her. Of course he’s going to win NY anyway.
As far as Michelle goes, who ever would have thought we could have a first lady more annoying than Ter-AY-zah??
You would have thin skin too if you had been oppressed like she has been :)
No he isn't. He's brand new. He simply ran during the Taft scandal.
He's pro-gay, anti-life, pro-big government.
He cannot pick Hillary and be the candidate of change. And how could he possibly pick someone who has done everything she can to destroy him? That would not show a compromising spirit, that would just further show he is an idiot. He will pick an older white guy.
This must be a bitter pill for the first black president and his wife.
What Hillary needs is a concealed carry permit and a trip to church.
You would have thin skin too if you had been oppressed like she has been :)
How has she been oppressed??
I guess you didn’t see the smiley face after the sentence.
Please, enlighten us as to how she has been oppressed. She gets paid 300K+ for a nothing job. Some oppression.
Oh my goodness, I think I’ll have the admin moderator remove my post. Sometimes things are so obviously sarcastic, they don’t need an sarcasm tag, but I should have known better.
FWIW, I got it.
But ... but ... the liberal media has anointed her the black version of Jackie Kennedy. Right down to the pearls.
Its not in Hillarys interests to become VP, even if Obama did offer it to her. She would have far more power remaining in the Senate, and would then be in good position for another run in 2012.
The overriding reason should be Bill Clinton. Obama has to know he’d spend most of his term in office commenting on Bill Clinton’s latest remarks/bimbo/controversy/peccadillo.
LOL! I saw that one coming.........
Rush talks about the “Queen Bee” syndrome between Hillary and Pelosi. Could be the same thing.
I got it too.
:)
Good assessment, from another buckeye conservative.
Plus, Strickland is in the video, behind the Beast, doing his absolute best bobble-head impression while the Beast was in Ohio shouting "Shame on you Barack Obama, shame on you"
Mrs. Obamalamadingdong is the same thing. A bitter affirmative action lady that knows she's a fraud, but screams loudly in order to distract from her level of incompetence.
She makes how much? and produces what?
I guess I'm going with McCain. He's all that we've got..... I guess.
Mr. Strickland would be a great vice president.

If McCain pulls it off, he's going to be a one-termer and not just because of the age thing. He will be back with his initiative to make illegal aliens into citizens. If he succeeds, there will be a seismic demographic shift which ensures no Republican is ever elected to a nationwide office in our lifetimes. If he fails, there will be a conservative backlash which will make the phone-line meltdowns last year look like a warm-up.
In any case, there will be consequences because McCain can't leave the issue alone and he won't enforce existing immigration law.
I got it also beaversmom. lol
I can think of half a dozen reasons for not picking Clinton as Veep, and none of them have anything to do with Mrs. Obama. She’ll just be used as the excuse.
I agree 100%. She is a very angry, aggressive person. I have a feeling she was behind Obama’s reluctance to denounce Wright and his decision to stick with Wright’s church. If you were afraid of Hillary.....watch out for Michelle.
Have you ever considered the idea Michelle was the real reason why Obama choose Trinity as his church and remained there? She seems much more likely to be ‘at home’ there.
Aunt Esther as First Lady?
((((shudder))))
......Her skin is very, very thin......
but mostly it is a very dark shade of black.
.....How has she been oppressed??......
Her opression is a state of mind resulting from Dr Wright’s hate filled diatribes on Sunday mornings just before the offering.
[Sometimes things are so obviously sarcastic, they don’t need an sarcasm tag,...]
Maybe they do need a sarcasm tag as there are always a few that are thinskined and miss the obvious sarcasm.
[How has she been oppressed?]
Typical femenist left wing paranoid socialist that hates all males and the existing world order, has an idea that the world is upside down because females do not rule over men . Its been that way since Eden and half this country hates the other half for it, near as I can tell.
[Strickland isn’t that popular in Ohio. The only thing Strickland has going for him is: He’s not Bob Taft.]
Strickland is your typical leftist and that is a fact. They have a different truth system and are closet fascists pretending to be normal.
I’m surprised she can stand being married to a half-White husband. She hates honkies with a burning passion. She is most certainly the female version of Jeremiah Wright.
I got it right away, Bmom....and agree with you.
$10 says she carries a straight razor in her shoe.
No, she'll make the Witch look like an angel.
Cheer up. It's usually not as bad to be bitten by a copperhead as a cottonmouth.
