I Know The Perfect VP Candidate That Will Placate Any Lingering Racial Fears About Obama

[trynotto_giveuphope]

Please don't take this as anything more than a joke because I don't mean to offend anybody, but I've figured out the best running mate for Obama to pacify any fears that white people may have of him. I give you the next Vice-President of the United States (scroll down):

Dr. Cliff Huxtable!!!

I'm talking about the fictitious television mainstay here, not the sometimes-controversial actor who portrays him.

Think about it: Dr. Huxtable is, first and foremost, a successful family doctor who can solve any crisis, no matter how big or small, in 22 minutes flat. He is married to a brilliant lawyer who hasn't used a bad word in her whole life, and probably saved some kids from taking drugs one time, I'm guessing. (It was the 80's.) They've got about eight or nine old-time jazz musicians/grandparents in the family, which will save some money at the inaugural ball. They'll have Rudy and Raven-Simone on the campaign trail, making this one of the cutest election seasons ever. Plus Theo always manages to get in a good line, and Denise is so contemporary in a non-threatening way that she's totally rad. And Vanessa? Well, we love Vanessa.

Heck, if Elvin and Sandra get involved, and if Bud and special guest star Stevie Wonder tag along, too, we can have at least one Presidential or Vice-Presidential candidate's relative in each of the 50 states at all times, what with Barack's extended family--Michelle, Malia, Sasha, Sarah, Maya, Konrad, Marian, Craig, etc., etc.--pitching in, too.

Yes, I think Obama/Huxtable '08 is the way to go. Or Elmo. Elmo could also work.
