    How creative Master Obama!

    Wow, what a great choice ! This will certainly placate the Hillary supporters, for they always viewed Joe (Rambling) Biden as the true male surrogate for Hillary. Yeah, right ! The irony is that although she was never on the Caroline Kennedy/ Oprah / Pelosi "short list", she would have certainly picked Master Obama as her VP had she won the nomination. A grandiose slap in the face a-la- Axelrod and if the Clinton's don't bend backwards for this fraudulent Messiah and the election goes to McCain, we know who to blame and why. An offer made and not accepted was the way to go but their dislike of the Clinton's is so virulent and their self-righteous pomposity so rampant that there was never a moment that Hillary was being considered. Even the unqualified certainty of a November victory by an all but unbeatable team was nothing more than a passing fancy in the cocky and arrogant mind of this media hyped false prophet.
