Why Obama’s Would Be VP Won’t Be

Until recently, for all Kansans knew, Kathleen Sebelius was the best thing to happen to the state since ethanol.

Their “moderate” Democrat governor—there are no liberals in Kansas—had taken major national wall space as a bonafide political pin-up.

VogueMagazine did a feature on the handsome, 60 year-old in designer gowns. Time Magazine named Sebelius one of America’s five best governors, and the Democrats tapped her to give the party’s response to the president’s state of the union speech.

More impressively, Barback Obama had reportedly put Sebelius at the very top of his short list for his vice-presidential running mate, a strategic crumb for both soft-core Catholics and surly feminists.

And then—da noive!--Archbishop Joseph F. Naumann of the Archdiocese of Kansas City in Kansas went and spoiled it all.

In May, Naumann publicly chastised the conspicuously Catholic governor for helping make Kansas “infamous for being the late-term abortion center for the Midwest.”

As one insider told me,“It’s cheaper to buy Kansas than California.” Sebelius is just one of many Kansas politicians to have taken money directly from Tiller and his various PACs.

Although this revelation came as news to most Kansans, Archbishop Naumann actually understated the problem. Incredible as it may seem, Kansas has emerged as the late-term abortion capital of the world.

There's talk of Arizona Gov. Janet “Nappie” Napaolitano as B.O.’s VP.

You would think the Archbishop would hold his peace until after she was nominated.

Then he could speak out, and undermine Obama’s candidacy much more effectively.

Sebelius is such an embarassment. The fact that Kansans voted this fraud Governor is horrifyling. It is astonishing how stupid people are.

I still think Obama is going to go with Richardson. He is an easy pick. I may be wrong but I’ve had a feeling about this for a while. No one else really fits what he needs.

Wouldn’t it be nice if he picked Nancy Pelosi?

It would be a Nancy-Bamy thing, sort of?

Sebelius is an abotionist and No Moderate. She is like Hillary-Lite.

An Obama presidency is not going to be just an interim between two Republican presidencies. Hard times ahead, unless you’re a leftist America hater.

Helen Thomas is probably available, and who could find fault with her?

My guess is that Obama would be best picking Ret. Gen. Wesley Clark. This would fill Obama’s perceived national security void. McCain's current monopoly on defense issues would be seen as gone.

That might explain what he was doing in the Watergate Hotel interviewing Monica Lewinsky for a job.

You are so right. Obama’s puppetmasters are salivating about finally bringing communism-light to America. A lot of damage will be done - they know they’ll only have that one crack at it before everyone who doesn’t hate America wises up - they gotta make it count. There is nothing to admire about Obama. He is a very dangerous person.
