Here’s what Barack Obama told Time’s Karen Tumulty and David Von Drehle earlier this week, when asked what we would learn about him from his vice presidential pick:

Make that two horse's asses."
LOL
Agreed....
I doubt anybody’s been beating down the door begging to be VP. When he looked like a winner, were they ready to walk behind the great one? I doubt it. Now that he looks like a loser, I just don’t see anyone in the house/senate sacrificing a career for this loser. That’s probably why they keep talking up Kaine. What’s it worth to be on the ticket???
Sorry, I thought he was a Marine, thanks for the info. If Obambi picks Reed I think it says a lot about the messiah. By naming Reed he is clearly saying he does not want anyone to outshine him in any way, he doesn’t need any geographical help (Bayh or Kaine) and that he can take on McCain all by his lonesome. What arrogance. I think he opriginally wanted to name Jim Webb, but Webb probably read the writing on the wall and said “thanks but no thanks.” One more quick question, why was former Colorado Governor Bill Owens never considered by McCain, does anyone know?
Reed has stated that he is not interested in the job. Translation: Ain’t no way I’m gonna commit suicide.
If he changes his tune I will be very surprised. Then again, he might the only possibility left for BO.
Barney: “Can I push your stool in for you”?
White Coat: “This is so sudden”!
“Reed is unlikely because Rhode Island has a Republican governor.”
But if he chooses Kaine (and were to win) VA ends up with a Republican governor.
I think it will be Webb, despite his declaration of disinterest.
That was then, and the Hussein campaign may have ‘turned’ Webb.
Nit pick: Webb wasn’t SECDEF - only SECNAV.
I meant Assistand SECDEF. Man I hope it aint him.
Anyway, Reed is more of a regular guy than St. Paul's and Yale product Sheldon Whitehouse. Whatever else you say about the guy, you have to give him that.
“If you asked him at a job interview, “What are your weaknesses?”, he’d say: “Too modest.”
Good. And he would have nothing else to say at that interview as far as experience and accomplishments.
Kaine speaks fluent Spanish.
After graduating from West Point and receiving an active duty commission in the United States Army, Reed attended the John F. Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University where he received a Masters of Public Policy. Reed, an Army Ranger and a paratrooper, served in the 82nd Airborne Division as an Infantry Platoon Leader, a Company Commander, and a Battalion Staff Officer. He returned to West Point in 1978 as an Associate Professor in the Department of Social Sciences.
Reed resigned from the Army as a Captain in 1979 and enrolled at Harvard Law School. In 1982, he graduated from Harvard and served a year as an associate with the Washington, DC law firm of Sutherland, Asbill, and Brennan. In 1983, he returned to Rhode Island and joined the Providence law firm of Edwards and Angell.
Thank you for the info, someone told me that earlier, my bad.
