RALEIGH, NC -- Sen. Barack Obama, D-Illinois, is almost always diligent about saying "he or she" when discussing his potential running mate.

But at a lively town hall meeting in the Tarheel State Tuesday evening, the senator -- who is expected to announce his vice presidential pick at the end of this week -- used a decidedly male pronoun.

Asked what his plan is to utilize his vice president as President Bush utilized his, Obama said, "Let me tell you first what I won’t do. I won’t hand over my energy policy to my vice president, without knowing necessarily what he’s doing."

Grasping at straws is a fun sport for the mentally challenged and liberals.

I take the “he” in his mind to be Dick Cheney. I don’t think this is indicative of anything.

“I won’t hand over my energy policy to my vice president, without knowing necessarily what he’s doing.”

That’s too snarky and hostile.

Obama’s VP, under the bus, even before he is revealed!

No, micromanaging is NEVER below your pay grade. Managing might be, but micromanaging means you don’t trust the manager to do the job, so you gotta check up on them, Keep you finger in the pie, as it were.
To micromanage, you gotta be the boss.

I got it from a good source 2 weeks ago, that his VP pick is Tim Kaine. And you can take that to the bank.
