According to Howard Finemen’s Newsweek story of tonight, Obama may offer Clinton the veep spot, but only if she promises through intermediaries to turn it down. Fineman also quotes sources very close to Mrs. Clinton who report that Clinton does not want the job.
We have previously said that if Clinton was on the ticket, we would feel honor bound to vote for Obama.
So it is with some relief that we read Fineman’s report, which if true leaves us free to support and vote for John McCain.
Our reasons?
We pulled our hair out when the US Supreme Court took the election away from Al Gore and elected George Bush.
Our main concern at the time (aside from out feeling that Al Gore won the election) was George W’s inexperience.
We listened to those that said, not to worry, he has “good people” behind him. And we thought after the Bush inauguration, maybe it will be OK, how much damage can a president do?
Well, it turns out, quite a lot. In fact, we are all very lucky that George W (and the “good people” behind him) did not cause WWIII. Not to mention the budget surplus which is now a huge deficit.
Now, the nation is poised to consider the candidacy of yet another potential president who has zero experience on the world stage, and little experience in life.
We have no doubt that Obama has good intentions, as did George W. Bush. But that his hardly the point.
We for one are not willing to go down that road again, with an inexperienced president—however well intentioned. The world is a far too dangerous place right now to go down that road again.
We are voting for McCain, and we are urging Hillary Clinton’s other supporters to do the same.
