Is this not refeshiung after eight years of missteps by the GOP who always thought they knew it all and did not? Remember Rumsfeld anyone? How about Antonio Gonzales? How about G Dubya himself? Sam Nunn and Evan Bayh are excellent choices for VP! Now through in Chuck Hagel and we truly have a trifecta!

This is for President of the United States, not some popularity contest with no reprecussions. Yet these Obama supporters fail to realize this is for a REALLLLY important job with REALLLLY serious problems. Dreamers, but not realists. This is why I voted for Hillary and not Obama. This is why I will not vote for Obama without Hillary on the ticket. I choose who I think will best help my country over who I like or don't personality wise. That's the way people should. But, as we've seen in the past, it's obvious most people who vote in our country vote for the wrong reasons and don't think outside of the box or past their own personal lack of common sense.

I personally wished for Hillary Clinton to win the nomination, but am mature enough to handle the fact that she will not be running. It is time to just accept the fact and move toward the future. The people that dwell and dwell on the fact that Hillary should be the nominee are driving me insane!

Bayh is my choice, very popular in Indiana and served our state well as Governor for 8 years before becoming Senator. I think he would be a great VP and be able to step in and act as acting President should the situation ever arise. I would definitely feel safe knowing that Obama has some experience AND a good man backing him up and offering advice.

He's over-the-hill, out of touch, and past due for real retirement. If that's what Obama means by "change", I'll think at least twice the next time his campaign approaches me for another donation!

Then he scolds him for his political posturing with Israel. Khadafi talks about Obama was raised as a muslim and went to a Muslim school. He goes on by saying once Obama becomes president, he will wake up and join his arab and african brothers. Look it up on jpost.com, (jerusalems newpaper site) There was a video of Omar Khadafi on the left side two days ago), Are you people really sure about electing this man? I think the New Yorker was pretty accurate, and yes I have thoroghly studied my facts. Has anyone seen the video of Omar Khadafi praising Obama for being one of us.
