Reply #14: Yes, lets absolutely make Obama look weak by caving to WJC's power play... [View All]

Great idea! Next we can have Obama do a waitering gig downtown for a few days.

Seriously, Obama, if he's going to have any hope at all of looking presidential, he absolutely HAS to refuse categorically pressure from the Clinton camp. If Hillary or her hubby forces Hillary on the ticket, our chances are doomed. This is a recipe for Hillary 2012 - it is NOT one for this year.

The only way Hillary makes the ticket is if she drops out, endorses, and does everything possible to shore up her myriad of attacks on Obama, AND makes it clear that she fully agrees Obama should pick whomever he thinks helps him the most. If, after a vetting process, she comes out, then great. But the forcing thing is a recipe for disaster.

In other words, if Obama has even an ounce of sense, he will NOT succumb to being played hard. People don't vote for presidents that are played hard.
