#3 He should stick around the Senate till he figures out how the Federal Government works. (Hint it's not a bigger State of Illinois)

#4 How is it you think I would be such a great vice president?

"Because even though you're a rookie, you're pretty presentable and people seem to like you. We can give you enough on the job training to qualify you for your 2016 run."

I'm surprised Hillary hasn't come back with something like that so far.

#5 Hillary doesn't want him as a VP, she just wants him out of the race and gave him the easy option. If he showed any doubt it would have eroded confidence in him among his zealots. He answered beautifully. I think he's way underqualified but he does have good instincts for the Clinton knife-fighting that's going on.

#6 Hillary gave him his warning.

She's now going to kneecap his ass, play the Tonya Harding to his Nancy Kerrigan.

#7 I think he's smart enough to realize that Hillary's VP would be #3 on the depth chart, after Bill.

#8 He's not a Muzzie, not a VP. How about some honestly and admit thata he isn't black ether.

#9 The question of course is how much blacker could he be, and the answer is none, none more black

#11 If his mom was white then how come everyone thinks he's black? He wouldn't be the first "black" president, he'd be the first bi-racial president.

#12 African-Americans are all of mixed blood, one way or another. I remember being told once that sub-Saharan Africans consider them white. The thing Senator Obama is not is an African-American, as the term is commonly understood. He is not descended of African slaves, after all, his father being a Kenyan tribal princeling. He is a first-generation American like me and like General Colin Powell, just with darker skin.
