Why was Obama afraid to have Hillary on the ticket?

Question

He says he wants to bring about real change, and could have sealed a victory with Hillary on the ticket, but he didn't. Instead he choose a 30 year Washington insider who represents the same tired liberal ideas of Jimmy Carter, Ted Kennedy, Michael Dukakis, and Bill Clinton. Now McCain has trumped him by having a woman and true Washington outsider as his running mate. Why didn't he want Hillary around?

Answer 1

Yeah yeah.

As if anyone else outside the US is any way bothered wit the whole shebang

Answer 2

He wasn't afraid, he was smart.  She would have tried to run the country just like she did when her husband was in office

Answer 3

35 year insider, not 30. This idiot was in the Senate during the Vietnam war. That is not change, that is more of the same old c**p.

Hillary is to conservative and actually loves America. She is way to liberal for me, but she is not nearly Marxist enough for the Obama wing of the party. He and Biden are really out there in left field.

Answer 4

Hillary has already thrown her support fully behind Obama.

President Obama and VP Biden will bring about the change that they have been talking about.

They will end Bush's war and bring our troops home in agreement with the wishes of the American public and the Iraqi government.

They will also roll Bush/McSame's tax cuts for millionaires who send American jobs overseas.

McSame wants to keep Bush's failed economic and foreign policies, that he voted 95% in agreement with, going for the next 100 years.

Bush and the Rubberstamp Republicans have had the past 8 years to test their ideas.

America is worse off than we were 8 years ago.

The stock market is down to lower than the Clinton era.

Unemployment is up for the second time under Bush, even after most Americans took lower paying jobs during the first Bush recession.

Oil prices are at record highs due to the supply disruptions caused by Bush's war.

Bush and McSame have voted to tax future generations fo Americans by their record levels of deficit spending on the pork of their big special interest donors in the oil and arms industries.

America can't wait to vote for Obama/Biden in November to bring about the change that America needs.

Obama/Biden will restore honor and dignity to the White House.

McSame's lame attempt to court the female vote by choosing a rookie beauty queen as his running mate is an affront to all women and all Americans.

Answer 5

I think he was looking for a woman.

Answer 6

The Clinton's are very limelight people,  to have picked her would mean having both the Clinton's come before Obama.  He had to pick someone who would not steal the show from him.  If he accidentally won.  And besides there not enough new women in Washington for Bill to NOT have s*x with.

Answer 7

hes a male chauvinist pig that wants to keep it the boys club and he wants all the attention because he will be the first african, European,american elected to the big house and besides his wife might not like the clintons they might swing

Answer 8

The country was much better off when her husband was President.

It will be better off once again under Obama/Biden.

Answer 9

Hillary is a ball breaker, she is a vile nasty overbearing woman who mentally and physically abuses her husband, no man in his right mind would want her anywhere near him. Also she has no control over her emotions as was evident in the campaign. She has a very questionable past incl Whitewater and Vince Foster, not good.
