Will Obama pick Hillary as his running mate? This will be the first major decision he will have to make. It will be his first real test of common sense and leadership ability. Will he tie himself to someone who thinks she is more qualified than he is? Will he team up with someone who thinks she is smarter than he is?
Will he trust someone who would no doubt be hovering like a vulture in hopes he may be assassinated in office? Didn't she already reference Bobby Kennedy in a recent speech, revealing her new strategy for attaining the presidency. All she has to do is bide her time and then step over Barack's dead body to get there.
Who would want this shrew hanging around the oval office interrupting and arguing and talking back all the time? Could she be trusted not to disagree with the president and the administration in public? Would she criticize decisions in front of the press and second guess the president on every issue? Would she claim the credit when things go right, and then disavow any participation in mistakes or blunders that occur all too often in politics?
If Hillary became Vice President, wouldn't she use that position to continue her campaign? She would be running for President by running over Obama and anyone else that tried to get in her way. Hillary would use subterfuge and deceit and evasion to gain personal advantage in any situation. She would constantly try to position herself as "the best man" for the job. She would be trying to teach the nation that it was wrong to pick Obama for president. It should have picked her!
Yes, this will be Obama's first real test as a leader. Will he be smart enough to dump Hillary? Will he be able to do it in a nice way so she won't disrupt the convention? Will he pick someone else that he can actually work with? There must be a team player out there who can contribute to the new administration instead of use it as a way to attain personal glory.
Obama needs to let that old bag fade into history. He doesn't need her riding along on his train. He says we need change, and four or eight more years of Hillary is not change. It would be a nightmare.
