Joe Biden Says He’ll Accept VP Status

Monday, June 23rd, 2008

Media Pundits and Political leaders seem a little upset that a politician did the unthinkable. He told the truth!

Many who are in the running for the VP slot for Barack obama are keeping tight lipped, some even going as far to say they would reject the offer. Senator biden however is letting it be known that he would proudly serve this county as Vice President. And Kudos to that man for being honest. Politricks can be a little weird at times, if you tell the truth you are a liar, if you lie you are merely protecting the public. Me personally, I don’t get it at times.

I would rather say hey I’ll take the position rather than talk about how much I wouldn’t and then accept it later. What do you call that? A change of heart, I think not! Obama 08 Yes We Can Si Se Puede!

Jesse Jackson thinks Clinton should be the VP

Monday, June 9th, 2008

“The Rev. Jesse Jackson said today that Sen. Hillary Clinton has made “a powerful case” for her candidacy for vice president.

Sen. Barack Obama should take his time choosing a running mate, Jackson said in an interview with the Associated Press today, but Clinton offers some major advantages.

“As he surveys the field, it must be someone who is compatible with him philosophically,
someone who is loyal to his agenda and someone who brings a constituency that matters and the capacity to become the next president, as the Constitution requires should disaster strike,” Jackson said, and Clinton meets those requirements. “She may not be the only one who does, but she certainly does.

“She starts with 18 million votes,” he said. “She starts having gained a following among Latinos and she has substantial support among African Americans. … Women will be looking to her place in the scheme of things.”
