Obama and Clinton: Dream Ticket or Nightmare?

Hillary Clinton is ending her historic presidential campaign and is set to endorse her primary rival Sen. Barack Obama.  Many Democrats, particularly Clinton backers, are pushing for a "dream ticket" of Obama-Clinton, but others are worried that too much bad blood may exist between the two candidates.  Plus, there's the "Bill" factor -- would he suck too much attention away from the ticket.

What do you think?  Should the country's two top contenders join forces like they would have in years past?  Or should Obama stick with his message of change and look for someone new? If you were Obama, would you put Clinton on the ticket?

I felt really bad when Miss Hilary stretched out the campaign and continued the dog fight for so long. It seemed really obvious (to me) that what was needed was for both of them to focus on why a change of leadership is so important, whether Obama, or Clinton....

Both needed to discuss what the Democratic party stood for, & encourage people to vote Democratic, whether for their opponent or themselves.

Dream ticket? After Miss Hillary put up such a fuss? I really don't think so. I don't think that they'd be able to point to Billy Boy's lies, & embrace the dress stains for the objects of hilarity that they were.

The Democrats were missing out on a huge selling point by not comparing those dress stains to the deaths in Iraq. They have failed to point to how GB the Younger charged in when the entire world was waiting on the weapons inspectors to do their job.

Does anyone believe that GB the Younger really thought the weapons existed?

It felt like a lie when he charged in there, & let's not forget that Miss Hillary went along with this insanity.

We need a different crew in the white house, people who can disavow all connection to that fiasco, who can start cleaning up that mess. I don' t know what it's going to take, but a whole new approach is clearly indicated.

I personally think it would be disastrous for Obama to select Hilary.  He would need his own security just to protect him from the Clintons. Remember Vice President becomes Head Chief if the President loses his/her life.

Like other 'politically correct' issues in the USA, we seem to have stooped to the lowest point in recent history.  Where ARE the LEADERS in this country.  A leader who had strong moral fiber and will stand up to special interest, lobbyists and all the others just wanting handouts.  We The People, have to stand up and DO something about this travesty.

The United States of America is the Greatest Nation conceived in the history of this little planet.  No matter how you (the Citizens of the USA) believe; whether politically left, right or centrist, you HAVE to believe we can do better.  The divisive politicians over the past years have created a 'politically correct' culture of separatist beliefs.  We USed to be AMERICANS; period!  Now everyone is grouped in little sub-groups and special interest categories that politicians can pander to.  Separatist movements create conflict. Compromise, a founding principal, is seemingly a thing of the past;  Cooperation non-existent.  Doing the 'right thing' is something that has no foundation in the conscience of politicians.  We need a new 'citizen politicians'; ones that will perform as the Founding Fathers of this Great Nation conceived.  They didn't envision the huge bureaucracy that exists in Washington and the state/local governments. 

Our elected officials look out for themselves, not their constituents.  No matter federal or state or local, it is me, me, me and my 'friends' (read contributor$).  These boobs are supposed to be listening to US and taking the resultant desires to the political bodies (local, state, federal) for discussion, compromise and resolution.

Self reliance, love of our neighbors, love of Country and belief in this great Nation seems to be a thing of the past; iff you believe the so-called Free Press.  Even the most jaded of you reading this should agree that the 'Independent Press' is a thing of the past in the USA.  It has become the agency of special interests.  No longer are the reporting press interested in "Truth, Justice and the American Way"!

The USA has been a 'melting pot' since it's founding! (Click Here to read the original founding documents!) WE as Citizens of this great country have to stand up and say 'We are Proud Americans!' who love this Country.  Don't be ashamed of it, if you believe that something is wrong, DO SOMETHING to correct it.  We certainly can't trust the yahoo's in Washington or most of the local/state boobies.

Yes, I know that there are Some good guys out there and to them I humbly apologize.  But those 'good guys' have to have the backbone to stand up and shout from the rooftops; not cower and wait for seniority.  The corrupt nature of Washington and it's filtration down to State/Local governments has to be reversed.  No, it won't happen overnight, but finding a true LEADER should be the right start.  Someone who has the 'Right Stuff' to stand up and communicate and LISTEN to 'We the People'.

Absolutely yes.....Hillary Clinton would add exactly what this country needs to our Democratic ticket.  Nobody is more intelligent, stronger, more experienced, better informed, more decisive, more courageous nor a better problem-solver with workable affordable solutions for our broken system.
