What Does Hillary Want?
Reader Comments
Hillary was irresponsible enough to be $30 million in debt. I do not want her in the white House so she can blow $30 trillion of our money. I want Obama and his promised change to rule this nation but if he is dumb enough to put her on the ticket with him he will loose my vote. I cannot willingly put someone in the white house who ran her campaign into debt. If you want to compare experience than compare the experience they each have to manage money. OH and before you feminists start telling me I refuse to vote for a woman. I have no doubt a woman can run the country, but have no faith what so ever in Hillary Clintons ability to run her own household much less the country.
Considering the short memory of voters, Obama will be forgiven for not choosing Clinton. She does not have the right attitude to be his running mate. So, as much as he would like the immediate support of her supporters, he needs to choose someone else as the Vice President.
Colin Powell comes to mind.
No more Clinton!
I'm been an Obama supporter since before Iowa and predicted that he would win the presidency last Thanksgiving. However, if Hillary is his running mate I simply won't vote in the upcoming election. She is a disaster, her being on the ticket would be a disaster, and having her and Bill back in the Oval Office would absolutely undermine his presidency and be ruinous for the country. There are over a dozen other good running mate options, the best of which would be Wesley Clark, if he will do it.
Hillary Clinton
I am so sad today, that our country has voted for obama only because he is black and has made history...
Know one can say he will help our USA...
All I hear daily on TV is a White women and a black man thats history..
Can anyone remember to say we in the USA are in a bad hole and need someone in there that is smart and really knows how to help us...
To me Obama is a senator not just a black man who made history..
Hillary is a very smart person and could have done the best job...
Her so called baggage has nothing to do with running for president..
Let us not forget Bill Clinton is loved all over the world and could have went around the world making peace ...
Bush has everyone hating us...
May God be with us......
Hopefully if he is smart he will pick Hillary for VP..
I am not sure if I will even vote this year for the first in my life...

18 million voters
What does Hillary bring to Obama's ticket? 18 million voters! Who else is more qualified to secure those votes for Obama? No one else and that's the truth. Mr. Obama, make the right decision to select Hillary as your running mate. Or the presidency might just go to McCain!
Hillary clinton
She should work for N Y state & not to be a VP .she thinks of herself rather than for the country.
I'm a woman & i'm disgusted with her.
She has no shame & she has destroyed the party & now she should take a back seat
.
No Hillary, please.
I think Obama needs to chose someone else to be his running mate, and here's why. The Obama camp relies on independents and Republican's voting for them to win in the fall. Do you think that those two groups want to have the Clinton's back in the White House?
Obama needs to pick someone with years of experience, preferably with a strong background in foreign policy.
It should be interesting!
Voting in absolutes
I cannot believe that some people in these postings are talking in such absolutes regarding their vote. Voting is a priviledge that very few in this world actually have, and even in the history of the United States many people have fought and died for. To say that 'xyz' must happen or I won't vote is a slap in the face of our freedom. My wife escaped a Communist government 17 years ago, recieved her citizenship as soon as possible, and has voted at every chance possible. I cannot believe you all would throw away your vote so easily.
Be Careful, Obama
Choosing Hillary as your VP puts your life at risk. I don't see the Clintons stopping at anything to get back in complete power.
