Can we deal with that ? Can she ? Can he ?  Lotta lotta questions about whether Hill could, would or should  be VP.... questions we've been talking about for  year of so. For my money, I say "why not ??" But that's more of a  philosophical emotional question where a colder political calculation needs to be made.  Let's face it, the concerns over her '' agenda'' as  a VP, whether she'd support a theoretical President Obama or secretly sabotage him  or have Michelle posted as ambassador to Outer Mongolia or create her own secret cabinet etc etc etc, are legit but let's not forget the purpose of selecting a vice presidential candidate is simply and totally to help the presidential candidate get elected.  You think George 41 wanted Dan Quayle for the ''heartbeat away'' concept ?   At any rate, I'm not completely qualified to do the political calculus regarding Hill's conbribution to the potential ticket and how that translates into votes in the 23rd district of Western Pennsylvania vs the 31st precincts in upstate Ilinois, and etc.... but i'm just thinking that in the big picture, if half the Dems love him and half of em love her... then why not make everybody happy and give em both ? Now we just have to figure out a face saving graceful strategy for her to say ''yes'' in a way that makes it her idea and not his....

just because the Clinton's are number 2 doesnt mean they would except being number 2..she will never be picked by him the republicans would run her campaign ads against her and Obama..its not going to happen its not a dream ticket Obama needs someone along his ideas its what people are wanting is his message of change why would you put the past in the office with you it kind of makes you a hypocrite and who the hell would want those people back again except the minority of the democratic electorate..she needs to step aside and support the winner ..but she wont do that why should he reward someone who is out to destroy him? he doesnt need to be looking over his shoulder for his term if he is nominated..

Theodore Roosevelt on Immigrants and being an AMERICAN

Are we "SLOW LEARNERS" or what?

Theodore Roosevelt on Immigrants and being an AMERICAN

"In the first place we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the man's becoming in very fact an American, and nothing but an American...There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag, and this excludes the red flag, which symbolizes all wars against liberty and civilization, just as much as it excludes any foreign flag of a nation to which we are hostile...We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language...and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people."

Theodore Roosevelt 1907

I think on the so-called Republican side you'll be seeing a McCain/Sheehan ticket. Or maybe he'll ask Tony Villa.

Or maybe since he was almost John Kerry's VP in the last election he'll return the favor and make Lurch his running mate. "Everything's on the table".

This is a picture of me at the DEA firing range near Castaic. It's an automatic weapon...what agents use when things get serious. I'm not a 'gun person 'but it was a fun and different day for a story on the DEA 's Citizens Academy..." I "killed" a guy who pulled a gun..oops.. a cell phone out of his waistband when I was serving a 'search warrant..." Gives me more insight into cops challenges.... I'm a news reporter here at Fox 11.. been in LA since '83... aside from the traffic it's awesome.. why wouldn't you want to live here ? I have a great job.. the people here are fun... I get to do what we call ''long form'' stories, investigations, half hour specials.. we can really get into some serious issues here... ( no not Britney). Someday i hope to meet Jillian. Later.
