Do You Think Obama Will Simultaneously Announce His VP And Announce Hillary As WH Special Counsel?

[malik flavors]

I think it would be a great idea if Obama announced Wesley Clark as his VP and at the same time announced Hillary as his White House special counsel. That would really bring the party together becasue it would show even though Hillary isn't the VP, Obama is willing to bring Hillary and her supporters into his campaign.

He could also announce John Edwards and Bill Richardson's roles in his administration, just roll them all out at one time and cause a huge media event that immediately brought the entire party together. All of our top four candidates together again and fighting for the same cause. It would be a great moment and I think would put our party in an extremely strong position to win the general election big.

What do you all think about that?

1. OMG! NO!!! No to Clark and No to Hillary.

They lost. They're not going to be inside the Obama presidency.

4. I agree. I don't see a spot for either of them. Thank heavens. nt

[papapi]

27. Nope. Bad idea. No Clark or Clinton.

[sandnsea]

2. The person pretending she won Michigan??

An election where her opponent wasn't even on the ballot??

White House special counsel????

I don't think so.

[polichick]

3. I think he'd be a fool to have either of the Clintons in the WH...

And, after Clark's performances lately where he just parrots Hillary's silly talking points about MI and FL, I think he's out of the running for veep too.

Edwards and Richardson would be fine ~ also the others who ran.

10. You must of seen Clark's interview on Hardball. I agree, pathetic.

[polichick]

12. Most recently, Dan Abrams' show last night - yikes! :)

[IsItJustMe]

19. Yikes is right. You have to excuse me, I quit watching msm after the Kerry election and just

recently started watching again. Abrams it was.

[polichick]

23. I agree with you - he looked pathetic!

[newmajority]

5. Special counsel?? FUCK NO!

That would be like hiring the Gotti family's lawyer to lead a "Mafia task force"

And no to Clark as well. He was on my short list, but he made his loyalties clear last night. He's not any better than the Carville/Begala/Davis/Ickes asskissing DLC puppets.

6. No and No.

At this point, I can't think of a single Hillary supporter I would like to see on the ticket with Obama.

[texas_indy]

7. Obama will be giving the plums to HIS supporters, which is the prerogative of the WINNER!

[Boz]

8. You can expect her bar standing to be challenged from here out.

[texas_indy]

11. Considering how much she's been drinking lately, her bar standing should be pretty good by now...LOL

[book_worm]

9. No.

[malik flavors]

13. Jesus, you people a such bitter babies. WAAAHH!! Clark didn't say nice things about Obama!!!

In order to bring the party together Obama is going to have to extend an olive branch to Hillary supporters, and he's already acknowledged that by referencing "Team of Rivals." Grow up and realize that this needs to happen, and who gives a shit what Clark said on Abrams. He's still Hillary's supporter, what did you expect him to say. Man, you guys are ridiculous.

[TahitiNut]

15. Sure. Invite Archbishop Tutu and have Truth & Reconciliation Commissions

One catch: Lie at one of THEM and be thrown in prison. :shrug:

[malik flavors]

17. Grow up and be realistic. The party needs to come together, and you're being childish.

[TahitiNut]

18. Put down your toys and dolly when you say that.

:eyes:

16. Clark is a Clinton lackey who, like Hillary, lacks the talents necessary to be president or VP.

He's not a good choice for the ticket, and he will not be on ticket. Any belief that he will is sheer delusion.

Hillary will not hold any position of trust in the administration, and certainly not be Obama's counsel.

This idea of yours is wishful thinking by a Hillary/Clark fanatic, and it's not going to happen.

[malik flavors]

21. LOL a Hillary/Clark fanatic? I want Collin Powell to be his VP, but that's not realistic.

I've been indifferent to Hillary since the 90s. You're the fanatical nutcase that's opposed to anything clinton related even if it results in Obama winning the white house. Weirdo.

[TexasObserver]

29. Well, I'm a Democrat, so that explains why we disagree.

Colin Powell?! Are you nuts?

[woolldog]

14. Wes Clark is terrible.

[burythehatchet]

20. and maybe Chelsea can run FEMA

[malik flavors]

22. I do think she should becoma an Obama co-chair to help bring in the young Hillary supporters.

That would really help to unite democrats.

[shadowknows69]

24. I think you're dreaming

At this point I don't think Hillary or Wes have a job offer pending.

[malik flavors]

25. I think Obama is more mature and smarter than the people on this board.

He'll do whatever will win him the white house. And the party needs to come together for that happen.

The Hillary hatred around here is blinding you all from the reality of this situation.

[NotThisTime]

26. I do think he should roll them all out at once, whatever HIS choices are

He has good judgment, I'll trust that he uses it.

[melody]

28. Hillary as White House special counsel? How about fox as hen house supervisor?

Some other role might be a good idea, but nothing will be enough for some of her more robotic supporters.

[MercutioATC]

30. Obama/Schweitzer...Clinton still makes a fine Senator.

After this primary, I don't think Clinton in a WH position is a good idea.
