Obama: Don't assume I'll take VP slot
COLUMBUS, Miss. - Democrat Barack Obama ridiculed the idea of being Hillary Rodham Clinton's running mate Monday, saying voters must choose between the two for the top spot on the fall ticket.
The Illinois senator used his first public appearance of the week to knock down the notion that he might accept the party's vice presidential nomination. He noted that he has won more states, votes and delegates than Clinton so far.
Nothing wrong so far. Can't blame him for this position whatsoever. What he's unclear about, however, is this:
"If I'm not ready, how is it that you think I should be such a great vice president?" he said, as the crowd laughed and cheered loudly.
Should we use larger fonts for the word "vice", Barry? Do we have to spell out to you the difference between the President and the vice-President? It is not contradictory to suggest that a poltico as inexperienced as yourself would be fine as the VICE president, where you could study the example of the President for 4 - 8 years.
Now, you're a smart guy. The only possible conclusion I can draw is that you think your audience is stupid, which they seem intent on proving (see the "laughed and cheered loudly" part) - although I suppose we should give them credit for not fainting this time...

umm...the audience IS stupid.
What he is saying is that a Vice President should also be ready to be Commander-In-Chief from day one because you never know when the Big Cheese might buy the farm.
I figure if GWB can be Commander-in-Chief then anybody can.
All you have to do is fire the Generals who tell you what you don't want to hear and replace them with yes men.
That has always been his strategy.
Have you noticed how photogenic Hillary and Obama both are?
