Obama won't pick VP for 'funeral duty'

From correspondents in Washington

July 28, 2008 05:42am Article from: Agence France-Presse

DEMOCRATIC White House hopeful Barack Obama said today he will pick a vice-presidential running mate who will "help me govern" and not just somebody "who I send off to go to funerals".

Obama, in an interview with NBC's Meet the Press, said his vice-presidential choice would be "somebody who can help me govern, who I can work with, who has a shared vision".

"I'm not interested in a vice president who I send off to go to funerals," he said. "I want somebody who is going to roll up their sleeves and be willing to work."

If he picks Hillary, the only funeral duty she’ll do is Obama’s funeral.

True. He signed his own death warrant when he didn't visit the wounded troops (just up the road) in Germany. That's not going unnoticed.

"This does NOT say Hillary’s on his “short list.”"

This paragraph was jammed near the top and easy to miss,

"The Illinois senator declined to name any possible running mates, but repeated that his rival for the Democratic nomination, former first lady Hillary Clinton, would be on his "short list"."

Sorry for posting this to you twice, I must have been distracted by the entire idea of Hillary as as VP. I have nightmares enough about Obama and I don’t need the added worry of the “Beast” in the second spot.

Wow, that’s the most excited I’ve ever seen Hillary. Lesbians really shouldn’t marry men.

I think that John Edwards is toast.

Something tells me that Hillary buried him alive in that recent sex scandal to ensure he doesn't go anywhere near the Oval Office again.
