News flash: voters don't pick the VP. And Obama has every right to choose whoever he wants as his VP. What planet are you on, anyway?

"Word is from the press" is not a citation.

Lame.

yes, Obama has every right to choose whomever he wants, including over his wife's objections - I would hope.

You took a report from the press that actually said Michelle Obama never said anything, was heard saying anything, or was even thought to have said anything like this- they just speculated she might- and you're passing it off as fact and ranting about it.

Taylor, I expect better from you. This is yellow journalism. Besides, Obama should have the right to pick his Vice President at his own discretion, to who will bring the best assets to his ticket. That may not be Senator Clinton; that could be Jim Webb, Bill Richardson, Kathleen Sebelius, Ed Rendell, Ted Strickland, Chuck Hagel, etc, etc. All have plenty of positives and minuses. But to think we should have to give the runner-up the VP slot is a bad way to run things.

Um, if Barack wants to listen to his wife that is his prerogative, who the hell are you do decide who he picks for VP?

Never did I think that I would see the day that Clinton supporters would trash the wife of another Dem candidate.  That's so, I don't know, Republican c. 1992 of you.

If you want Clinton to be VP, maybe the first thing to do is make sure that she actually would be willing to take the job, since the VP slot is a political purgatory and she's never indicated that she would take it.

Lets be clear the "Press" your citing is Robert Novack.

Psst.   I heard that Hillary Clinton sells heroine on the street after campaign stops to pay off her campaign debt.

Hey, you are right.  Unsubstantiated claim making is awesome!

I wouldn't think Hillary wants to be VP to a man who is so much less qualified than she is.

Not only that but since when are we voting for VP?

Hillary won't be Obama's VP choice because she would single handedly drag the ticket into defeat.

If he didn't come with Michelle. She is reason enough to keep him out of power

Let me get this straight.  When Bill Clinton was in the WH Hillary's input was enormously valued and appreciated.  Now that Obama may or may not seek his wife's advice, that currency is suddenly worthless.  I'm sorry, you don't get to have it both ways.

"Go away boy. ya bother me!"

ooo...pointless rumor-mongering looks like fun, let me give it a try!!

Word is from the press that Bill Clinton will be vetoing Obama as VP.

Let that sink in for a second.

Word is from the press that Bill Clinton will be vetoing Obama as VP

Bill Clinton thinks his vote is worth more than the MAJORITY of the democratic party registered voters who voted for Obama.

What else will Bill Clinton veto?

Are we being asked to elect Bill Clinton as acting president?

Will he be telling Hillary who the USA can and cannot be friends with?

And the WHOLE of TEAM Hillary is now doing gymnastics on who Hillary could pick as VP OTHER than Obama. IN REACTION to Bill Clinton FORBIDDING Hillary Clinton.  What a leader that Hillary is.

MAKE NO MISTAKE MILLIONS OF DEMOCRATIC VOTES DEPEND ON IT BEING Obama.

Now team Hillary will tell you that they can piss on the Obamas and his supporters and tell them its a shower and somehow its our fault when we vote McCain.

Its like someone driving their car off the cliff and turning to their fellow car pooler and saying ok your turn to drive don't crash now.  And afterwards acting all shocked that the car crashed.  They are totally and completely out of touch and view you as bitter about it.

When we lose control of the supreme court remember it was Bill "I was the first black president" Clinton who realized the GOP dream of a conservative supreme court.

Golly, that was fun! I am sure it was also productive and changed alot of minds! Hurray for me!!

Let's leave aside for a moment that the even though this is coming from the "press" you can quote anything.  It seems like it is probably coming from a part of you anatomy.

But the more disturbing issue is the whole "does Obama need a permission slip from his wife" nonsense throughout this thread.

To be honest it is the same sort of stuff that the right wing said about Hillary in 1992.

will be co-president...just like hillary was.

I loved it when the first lady from 1993-2001 had a lot of influence.  

I even think that person's influential role as First Lady was instrumental in her later political career.  

would have NO influence on President Hillary Clinton.

and baked cookies."

i hope not. no offense but Michelle needs to take a cue from her husband sometimes. She gives the impression that tension is boiling beneath her skin. I get that angry wierd vibe from her.

it's not ok for the wife of a Presidential candidate or President to be involved in her husband's issues...so what experience does Hillary have again?

Any president's spouse will have a certain amount of influence. That's inevitable.

wow, where's Alegre when you need her? this post is FULL of anti-woman rhetoric...does that mean her next entry is gonna be an expose on the bully-boys of MyDD?

Will somebody call the god-damned Orkin m-m- ... the god-damned Orkin Person?

Por favor!

The only way they can console themselves over McCain beating out Tancredo is to come over here and yank our chains.

Her dislike of HRC is legendary.  After all, she said she wanted to "scratch his [bill clinton] eyes out".  Whou would want to be around that kind of hostility?  Well she just lost her husband half of the democratic party, and lots and lots of women. I thought axelrod was trying to "soften" her image?  

If you think this diary is dumb, just wait a few weeks.
