So, “Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton has told supporters that she would agree to be Senator Barack Obama’s running mate if he offered her the vice presidential spot.” Thanks for the offer! Now, what would you do were you Obama? Hillary potentially brings a lot of votes, especially among adults. But at what cost? How do you spell “Vince Foster?” Advice to Senator Obama should he choose Mrs. Clinton as a running mate: watch your back.

1. william:Are you actually saying…….. the Clintons would do anything for power????
Jun 5, 2008 - 5:30 am 2. Mike:Obama’s initial thoughts might be ‘keep your friends close and your enemies closer’
His final thoughts might be ‘et tu Hillary?’ as the dagger is inserted.
Jun 5, 2008 - 9:14 am 3. LSD:Hard to imagine what challenges ‘wild Bill’ might present. Obama needs to read ‘the Cat in the Hat.’
Jun 5, 2008 - 11:32 am 4. vb:Actually, I prefer to think about the catfights between Hill and Michelle in the corridors of the White House. “Oh Michelle, those flower arrangements were lovely. Excuse me, I have a staff meeting now. It’s on affirmative action.” Michelle to WH gardeners: “Did you get that poison ivy I requested for tommorrow’s dinner with the Clintons?”
Jun 6, 2008 - 5:38 am 5. Exurban Jon:Stay out of Fort Marcy park, senator! We think too much alike; I just did a President Obama “what if” post yesterday ( http://exurbanleague.com/2008/06/05/the-obama-presidency-in-review.aspx ).
