Why do you think Obama didn't want Hillary to be vice president?

Question

I mean 2008: black president and woman vice? That'd be for the history books.

Answer 1

No none has accused the man of being stupid.  Besides, when he screws up she'll be back.

Answer 2

He bought her silence.

Answer 3

I'm not totally sold on Barack Obama but I think having Hillary Clinton as his running mate will do more harm than good. I do not like Hillary Clinton one bit, she's not to be trusted. There no way she's gonna become his running mate.  

Answer 4

Obama wouldn't have gotten, a word in, word wise, with her around.  And also, who wants "Ole" man Clinton hanging around the office, handing out cigars, to White House aide's.  The Clinton years have come and gone with enough bad news, so why create more, with them in the White House.  I don't support Obama and for sure, not a Clinton.

Answer 5

She is too powerful a person to be vice president to Obama.  Obama needed a complimentary vice president; someone who is content to stay in the background; not someone whose actions will be given the same amount of press as Obama.

Answer 6

I think it's the other way around; she didn't want to be Vice President.

She plans to run again in 2012, and wants to come from a stronger position as Senator than as VP.  

Answer 7

she'd a cleened his clawks. thats y. thet wimmen was the finnest choise we ever had 4 presidunt

prowd vet of the US army

Answer 8

He would look so weak if he picked Hillary.  She would outshine him and he could not stand for that.  It would be better for Obama to lose than to have Hillary along and win.

Answer 9

What makes you think she wanted the job?  Biden wanted it badly and pushed for it.

Answer 10

Presumably because he's not suicidal.
