Obama on Short List of Obama VP Picks by Scott Ott for ScrappleFace · 15 Comments

(2008-08-12) — While Democrat presidential hopeful Sen. Barack Obama allegedly vacations in Hawaii with family, sources close to his campaign said he’s actually spending the time in long meetings with the man some claim leads the race to become his running mate — Barack Obama.

Sources said Sen. Obama quickly moved to the top of his own VP short list because the most important attribute of a vice president is his ability to step in as commander in chief should the president become incapacitated.

“When the presumptive nominee looked at the Democrat field, he realized that he was the only one, other than Hillary Clinton, who had ‘acting president’ experience,” an unnamed insider said. “He looks presidential, and he’s the only one whose loyalty to Obama has been proven.”

A spokesman for the Democrat National Committee said, “Obama has the right to choose whomever he wants. Selecting Sen. Obama as his running mate would send a clear signal that he’s not only the most qualified Democrat to be president, but he’s also the only Democrat worthy to succeed him.”

The running mate announcement could come at any time. Insiders said the only factor delaying the pick is the candidate’s uncertainty over whether Democrat voters are ready for a black vice president.

My best guess? Carolyn Kennedy.

You heard it here first.

[LadyBuzz]

I was thinking the very same thing just a few months back....

Of course, the speaker of the house could run the show for those three days He might be gone.

Michelle — your retinal cells were tickled by these pixels first.

“When the presumptive nominee looked at the Democrat field, he realized that he was the only one, other than Hillary Clinton, who had ‘acting president’ experience,”...

Ha, ha! Humor is based upon a kernel of truth.

Nope. Brings no “gravitas” to the table. That would make 2 on theticket that had absolutely zero qualifications to be president. Besides, MA is already in the bag.

Well he is the most popular celebrity in the world. What a dream ticket for the dems.

[Jaxter]

Never happen. They disagree too much.

Brings no “gravitas” to the table.

You could add two tons of ballast to Obama and he'd lack gravitas. The man is anti-gravitas.   ;-)

Michelle Obama would better balance the ticket with the radical (black) feminist vote almost assured.

I'm surprised he doesn't chose Michelle Robinson "Obama" Soetoro . . . AFTER he gets his name change thing worked out in Hawaii.

He's been using a false name and a false identity if he hasn't legally changed his name to Barack Hussein Obama Jr (or II, depending on the COLB of choice-fraudulent or ??). So why doesn't someone challenge him on this? His academic work using a fake name is just like plagiarizing, isn't it? He signed mortgages, loans, legal documents with a name that doesn't or didn't yet belong to him. Seems to me someone should file a class action lawsuit and force his hand to provide his certified birth certificate.

How can anyone trust a man who lies about his name? How weak a person does it take to assume a name illegally? Guess we know.
