Comment: I would like to discuss the possibility of Hilliary clinton becomming the Veep for Obama. When picking a former rival for Veep we must consider outcomes;
1. Kennedy paired with Johnson. Outcome; Death with Johnson becomming president.
2. Reagan paired with Bush. Outcome; Nearly killed while Bush lunched with Hinkley's dad.
3, Obama paired with Clinton? Not if Obama is truly smart given the history of such choices!!!

Comment: I love Newsweek and The Times for doing a detailed check on things like this and then presenting them in an easy format that allows me to check references as well as see THE BULLSPIT!! McNoTHANKS should know better...every time I see the guy, he's somewhere looking goofy talking about (?) & moving his hands funny. Doesn't he look like he tries TOOO hard to look presidental? Why does he need to fling his arms all over the place?
Can we also mention the self interests he would have in our economy if president? Wife has large company, large income (Elitist? Too good to show tax returns??). He raises taxes on the wealthy...who won't get any head for a long time? You guessed it!!
SO, that would leave him no choice but to tax us lower income folks dry. ;{
