Clinton’s statement of wanting VP is a setup and uncalled for
Why would an ex-candidate publicly state that she wants to be a VP? Does this force Obama to ask her? What if he does not want her as VP?

This to me is extremely tacky and forcing Obama to do something he may not want.

To me, this is bullcrap.

1. It's rude, classless, and ridiculous. Obama should be laughing privately right now.

2. She's *trying* to force him to ask her. You'd think she would have learned from, like...
LOSING to him that it has little-to-no chance of flying for Obama.

Then again, that's why she lost - lol!

3. Mort Kondrake on Faux News made a good point earlier
If Clinton forces Obama to take her as his VP he will be seen as weak.

6. They have their talking points
Anything Obama does will be seen as "weak" because that's how they want to portray him.

And WTF are you watching faux news for?

4. She has no intention of accepting the VP slot. She just wants to keep the HillBots agitated.
One more thing for her so-called "super-supporters" to whine and bitch about. Another reason for them to withhold their support from Obama.

2012, baby! :banghead:

7. all day there has been a desperate attempt by the Clintons to make the VP for her the story
They have tried all day to move the story off Obama surpassing the majority of delegates and towards Hillary being VP.

Classic Clintonista scam.
