Or does it sound like Obama really does not want a VP?
Just, for example, is Adam Nagourney from the NewsHour on PBS:
What they’re going to do is they’re going to send out, so they say, a text message or e-mail to millions of supporters and reporters who have signed up to get it. That will be the first time it There’s one thing interesting about this. I agree with susan about how they’ve dominated the news this week with the speculation about it. **But what strikes me about this is the fact that he’s going to announce it tomorrow at the earliest or saturday.** It’s in many ways evidence that they don’t look at the vice presidential choice as that significant to his campaign. I mean, **compare it to what john kerry did four years ago and there was, like, six days of traveling around the country. This will be a day. It has more of a feeling of checking the box.**
Ann Compton, just a few minutes ago on ABC News, announced that Obama is not even on Veep stuff today. He’s in Chicago practicing his speech for the convention. She added, breathlessly, “he’s even wearing a coat and tie.”
Seriously.
Maybe the reason this is taking so long is because they want to research whether The One needs more than One.
No doubt he’s also hacked off about having to add another name to the Obama ’08 stuff.
The One doesn’t need anyone else. The empty suit does not think the suit needs filling out.
Whoever the Second is, I feel sorry for him. He’s just going to be a prop as The One goes through the constitutional requirements He does not think He should have to follow.
It’s pretty darn hard for The One to be the indispensable One when he has to have a second in command.

Hey
RJD (Diary) Friday, August 22nd at 3:33PM EDT (link)Obama could run on reducing the size of government. One position at a time.
And after Obama becomes Emperor of Earth, we won’t even need the presidency.
A coat and a tie?
scotteiland (Diary) Friday, August 22nd at 3:35PM EDT (link)He’s wearing a coat and a tie to practice his convention speech. And Ann Compton is acting like he’s one of the Jonas Brothers and she’s 13.
But he’s no celebrity! No! Barack is a regular guy! EVERYONE dresses up in a coat and tie to practice faking out the American public on one’s Marxist policies and Chamberlain-esque foreign policy ideals!

Naw, he's just arrogant enough to think
c17wife (Diary) Friday, August 22nd at 3:36PM EDT (link)that we actually give a d*mn about his sorry VP.
Seriously, this is nothing but Barack thinking he is so IMPORTANT that we are all sitting on the edge of our seats waiting to see who he has annointed. His “neener-neener, I know who, wouldn’t you?” games are so childish and as arrogant as they come.
Can.not.stand.this.man. Don’t care who he picks. Not now, not evah.

Nah
Kev85 Friday, August 22nd at 3:44PM EDT (link)he “needs” someone to appeal to moderate voters in purple states, or so I think his thinking goes. Does that make sense?Poor dummy’s going to be a prop whoever he or she is. Or maybe they’ll be like the guy who would follow the horses in a parade…
Stand up, and let’s acquit ourselves like men.
Turned down?
justatron (Diary) Friday, August 22nd at 3:57PM EDT (link)Does anyone think that perhaps his first choice could have turned him down, leaving them having to take more time to confirm a pick before they announced?
Would we even know if someone did turn him down?
To me...
mikefisk (Diary) Friday, August 22nd at 3:58PM EDT (link)…this makes the Evan Bayh rumors somewhat likely. After all, Bayh is a natural wallflower and a fellow empty suit…

Why would The Obamessiah need a VP?
Bill S (Diary) Friday, August 22nd at 4:24PM EDT (link)After all, he’s The O and possesses all of the “O”s – Omniscient, Omnipotent and Omnipresent. He’s also eternal. A VP would just cramp his style and interfere with his reputation as a deity.
Now everyone make The O-Hole in acknowledgment of The One!

Specialist, you are right, it SHOULD be Hillary.
Mord (Diary) Friday, August 22nd at 4:30PM EDT (link)It won’t be though. Obama is arrogant enough to think he can win without her. The delay is caused because his advisors are begging him to change his mind and pick Hillary, IMO.

My Gawd! It was so obvious I have been away from heat and humidity for 4 years. A couple of days in DFW, I thought I might die whenever I got out of the AC.
But I had many Caramel Fraps from Starbucks, several Cherry Limeades from Sonic and lots of sweet tea from Rosa’a. So, I survived. :>)

I haven't seen you here in awhile
E Pluribus Unum (Diary) Friday, August 22nd at 5:15PM EDT (link)although we may just be not on at the same time. Well, glad you got to sample the good life here in DFW (didn’t give a heads up?????). I think we strung together 16 straight 105+ days, something like that.
Well, the stuff is starting to get fun, stick around.

c17wife (Diary) Friday, August 22nd at 5:23PM EDT (link)while in the US. Hacking into neighbor’s wireless and using the sis-in-law’s computer kept nme to a minimum of net time.
Sadly, my time in TX was cut short. Hubby deploys soon (short notice) and I had to sell my American Idol tickets for the 25th and come home early. Otherwise, we would have had to connect and have a cold one. Don’t take it too personally, I stiffed my sister too.
And yes, it is just starting to get fun. Gaw, I loathe BHO. To hell and back.
