To manage an organization.
If I owned a company and was looking for an individual to manage my organization I would be wise to select an individual with a background to fit my organization.
Even one of the amendments in the constitution writes about the presidential nominee being known by the people and this is why they have to have lived in the USA for 14 years. It is important that voters do their background work on each candidate before voting.
No to Hillary
Hillary & Bil should not be considered for vp. They ran a very ugly campaign; waiting for their opponent's demise; or for something bad to happen to him; even suggesting harm; the mountains of lies and deceit; the ones that really bothers me is the kitchen sink strategy and her consistent bid for the nomination when all the numbers were against her - she basically misled her supporters; while encouraging them to donate money to her failing campaign; how dishonest:
Obama is fresh air in comparison to GB and McCain. How can any woman except his wife vote for him; he does not support progressive women's issues; he will continue to send our sons & daughters off to Iraq. McCain represents the past and old policies that have created many national and international problems. Hillary and Bill also represent the past and ugly reminders of their days in arkansas and washington; monica, travelgate, bosnia, troopergate, racist comments during the campaign, whitewater, mr. foster and the list goes on including the constant whining & crying when the numbers turned against them. No presidential candidate need this kind of luggage.
Obama's Vice Presidential Contender
In balancing all things considered, it would be my suggestion to select Wesely Clark. It would be an obvious decision to somewhat balance J. McCains military spins and might quiet some of the protestors who choose military over practical
issues such as economy,health care. unemployment.
