Do you think that the reason Obama picked a white dude for VP was because of fear?

Question

I mean..I was all for it when I heard a white female (Hilary) would be VP..but then I found out that he chose some old white dude....

My thing is this...Do you think that he maybe secretly in love with Hilary that is why he didn't want to choose her as his VP?..Maybe a jungle fever/forbidden fruit thing?...He may be afraid that Michelle would leave him because of it...or Maybe, Obama could be secretly on the "down low"....

Answer 1

Obama wanted a symbol of change, to he picked someone who would give us a d**k Cheney third term.

Answer 2

You are correct.  Historically, vice presidential nominess have been  chosen solely because they are involved in sexually with the presidential candidate.  

It's why Bush chose Cheney, why Reagan chose Bush, Nixon and Agnew, Kennedy and Johnson (they called him Johnson for a reason), etc. ad infinitum.  

Answer 3

Liberals didn't bother to buy duct tapes and plastic bags to protect ourselves from a Nuclear attack

we were busy posting Bush + Republican jokes

Answer 4

Obama is also 1/2 white, in case you forgot....which you did.

Answer 5

Yeah.  'Cause there are SO many likely VP who are not White men..right?

Answer 6

If Obama had chosen a minority candidate, you McCainiacs would point out that he won't pick somebody of experience or some other nonsense.

Do you think that the reason you posted this question is because of stupidity?

Answer 7

Grow up .. what are you ten ?

Answer 8

u betcha

Answer 9

ABSOLUTELY!  How else do you get over the "lack of experience" issue than by picking somebody with 35 years of experience in the US Senate?  Only one problem though.........

How can Obama run around talking about CHANGE and all the things that need CHANGE and how we can't have CHANGE without CHANGE if we're goingt o CHANGE things, and then pick a 35 year veteran of the US Senate who is part of the same government that Obama has been talking about CHANGING?  

Answer 10

Frankly I believe that it would have helped him more to pick a woman as a vice president.

He didn't pick Hillary because of the baggage that would come along with it.  

I figure he didn't pick some other woman, so as not to infuriate Hillary followers.  However, I really don't think this would have happened.

But yes fear was a factor.   Fear of the baggage that Hillary would carry with her, and fear of the backlash that might occur if he picked some woman besides Hillary.

Answer 11

Biden is White?

I would have never guessed that.

EDIT:

I think you are confusing Bidens gray hair for blond. Here is a picture of Biden as a young man. You can clearly see he is not blond ie White
