Obama: 'If I am not ready, why do you think I would be such a great vice president?'
My colleague Carrie Budoff Brown e-mails from Columbus, Miss., with Obama's response to the Clintons' flotation of the notion that he could be her veep: scorn.
COLUMBUS, Miss -- Sen. Barack Obama delivered an animated rebuke today of suggestions from the Clintons in recent days that he could run as her vice president.
“Now first of all with all due respect, with all due respect," he said here during a town hall meeting. "I won twice as many states as Sen. Clinton. I won more of the popular vote than Sen. Clinton. I have more delegates than Sen. Clinton. So I don’t’ know how someone in second place can offer the vice presidency to someone in first place. If I was in second place I could understand but I am in first place right now.
He referenced comments from Bill Clinton in 1992 that his “most important criteria” for vice president was that person must be ready to be commander in chief.
“They have been spending the last two or three weeks” arguing that he is not ready to be commander in chief, Obama said.
“I don’t understand. If I am not ready, why do you think I would be such a great vice president?” Obama asked the crowd, which gave him a standing ovation during his defense. “I don’t understand.”
“You can’t say he is not ready on day one, then you want him to be your vice president,” Obama continued. “I just want everybody to absolutely clear: I am not running for vice president. I am running to be president of the United States of America.”
Hillary...has...been...PIMPED!
Who says...I don’t think Obie would be such a great anything.
Buraq, I think they said that you would be a great VP candidate to drag in all the amoebic retard voters that you have thus far been attracting.
Well....at least now he's putting some honesty and substance behind the things he's saying.

now Baraka can do his I’m The Emperor Jones thang.
Dayum... she got Hillary-slapped hard... put some ice on that!
I have a question about Senator Barack Hussein Obama: Mr. Obama was born in 1961, and was therefore required to register for Selective Service (”the Draft”) under the law. Does anyone know if he registered? Bet the media won’t dig too deep into that one like they did President Bush’s time in the Texas Air National Guard!
Scripted better than a WWE wrestling match.
There are a lot of “I do not understands” about this Obama-as-VP talk. It will take a miracle to knock him off the hill, one that would cause amazing destruction to the ‘Crap party.
hahahahahahahahaha! love it! what can she say now?
Bet the media won’t dig too deep into that one like they did President Bush’s time in the Texas Air National Guard!
Maybe someone should ask the MSM that question. But, I believe you will just hear crickets...
He’s got a very good point.
I've taken, forever, the entire State of Illinois off my visitation-vacation list. No more strolls down Michigan Avenue.
These fools are as inane as the simpletons who vote in New Yarkansas!
I don't.
