This is so childish. Just announce already.

[Alissa]

The MSM have been duped. They look more like fools than any Obama supporter. What a horrible media we have - they absolutely insult my intelligence. I'm going to make sure my grandchildren know that I went to college with these type of people and they need to root out the truth on their own and not to depend on any reality checks, only liberal education hate-America indoctrination.

[AD from SpringBay]

This just in: Obama picks himself as his own running mate. Having extensively reviewed the field, an Obama spokesman has told us that Obama is simply the only one divine and visionary enough to run with Obama.

[ConservativeMan55]

Hillary’s not even been vetted.

[IncPen]

Hillary’s not even been vetted.

Really?

Says who?

[Eroteme]

I have a sneaking feeling the real story is not that he hasn't made up his mind, I have a feeling he is being turned down by everyone he is calling.

I agree. I think Obama sincerely planned a Monday announcement and planned to ride the wave into the convention. This has all the markings of a plan gone sour. I think Bayh was his choice more than a week ago and that Bayh probably said yes at that time--then backed out. I too sense Obama is now scrambling, stuck with choices he'd never have considered.

Barry’s holding out for the Sunday paper headline.

In the very beginning of this process Obama asked for Bill Clinton’s finances related to the Clinton library.

Bill refused saying... “He can kiss my ass”

Hillary was immediately taken off the list.

[ConservativeMan55]

Hillary still has a lot of power.

Rendell flat out refused any possible VP offer and is now voting for Hillary at the Convention.

[IncPen]

I understand what you’re saying. But the only ‘credible’ source on Hillary not being vetted is... Drudge. Imagine discrediting him, silencing the PUMAs and ‘healing party division’ all in one fell swoop.

Do I think they’re that clever? No.

Do I think they’re that desperate? Abso-f***ing-lutely.

[Scarchin]

information on Biden that will DESTROY the Obama campaign and maybe the Democrat Party.

Perhaps the reason for the delay?

[PAR35]

The real question is who Hillary is going to pick to be her running mate.

It wouldn’t shock me if she managed to pull out the nomination.

Just remember — ReCreate 68 - Take it to the Streets in Denver.

[Scarchin]

I’m thinking that there was going to be an announcement and someone threw a wrench (or shall I say “wench”) in the works.

[TheBigB]

I’m thinking that there was going to be an announcement and someone threw a wrench (or shall I say “wench”) in the works.

Turns out that Joe Biden actually fathered Rielle Hunter's baby. : )

[ConservativeMan55]

"Imagine discrediting him, silencing the PUMAs and ‘healing party division’ all in one fell swoop."

You're forgetting the rule of Clinton. Me. Me. Me.

It's all about power for them. The Clinton's have always put themselves above the country or the Democratic party. She'll run for POTUS in 2012. Obama won't be anywhere in sight.

If it means destroying the Democrat party for years so she can be President.. she'd do it.

[ConservativeMan55]

I agree.

Every day this week starting last Sunday we kept hearing leaks.

First it was going to be Monday morning. Then at the latest Tuesday morning.

Then at the latest Thursday.

Now Friday has come and gone. Somebody is scrambling behind the scenes.

[american_ranger]

This is the only damn thing the Zerobama campaign has done right.

Disinformation to confuse and keep the media salivating.

Everyone is told they are not the one.

Bumper sticker company in Kansas.

NBC is told......

And all of the media sucks it up as well as the sheeple.

I don’t care if he picks Jesus as his running mate.

He is still a stupid commie puppet of the elite that wants to rule the world.

[kristinn]

The Hillary-not-vetted story was broken by Mike Allen at Politico with the memorable title, Hillary Gets Stiffed.

It was confirmed tonight by The New York Daily News.

[PJ-Comix]

Perhaps the reason for the delay?

Possibly. What might have happened is that a few days ago Obama told Biden he would be the VP pick. And then sometime today, Biden told Obama that there was this really really embarrassing cloud hanging over him and...

...and that might be why Obama could now be having second thoughts and for the delay. However, PLEASE Obama. PLEASE PICK BIDEN!!!

Hee! Hee!

[ConservativeMan55]

Maybe Obama picked Biden and THEN learned about him.

lol...

“He’s the first mainstream black that’s clean and articulate and neat”

Or maybe Biden’s stole some more speeches.

Obama can give a speech full of rainbows and sunshine and Biden can steal it word for word.
