Seeing an African-American as the probable Democratic nominee for president is not something I thought I would see in my lifetime. That is especially the case because I can still remember “Colored” water fountains and rest rooms in the hometown of my childhood.
Of course, I thought I would see a white woman nominated and even elected to the presidency. I did not think that woman would be Hillary Clinton.
As for Obama picking Hillary as his running mate, all I can say is in light of her RFK remarks recently: “Huh, are you f***ing nuts?” Or, to be more blunt: “Lyndon Baines Johnson.”
Actually I think Sen. Chuck Hagel, R-Neb., would be a great choice for an Obama running mate. No kidding.
As I have mentioned before I respect and even like Sen. McCain but I don’t think he would be a very good president and I shudder to think what kind of a looney tunes running mate the GOP will force upon him.
This could be a very interesting presidential race or one that is really, really bad.
