Mr.Obama do not have Hilary Clinton on your ticket because:

She is a back stabbing, lying, deceitful person. You can not trust her. You have this chance in History to carve a place for yourself and future generations. She will give you no peace. She and Bill will dog and be at odds with what you would like to accomplish. You don't need a V.P. against the most basic issues of your platform. It would be a disaster to your presidency, if you are elected. Mr Johnson and Mario Como are wrong urging you to take Hilary as V.P.

A president needs a V.P. who will help him and not back stab him, nor level personal attacks as to his competency. Don't set yourself up. If any of your intimate supporters read my blog they'll agree. I say this not out of vindictivness against Hilary, but what she is. My skill and experience as a lawyer and being involved with all kinds of people, powerful and those without any power.I can confidently  judge character. You need a V.P. like your self in views. It can be a male who will draw to you those Americans who have any hesitations about you as to color or otherwise. Do the right thing: Do not allow the pressure to choose this viper. She is a sore loser and person of selfish interest.

She has been unmasked. The American people have now seen her. Vindictive,bullying and threatening.She  should not deter you from your freedom of choice to pick a V.P.

My Prediction: 1) Her ardent supporters, if they are true democrats, will come to the conculusion they have to vote for you. There is no other choice, otherwise they will have a Republican President.

2) Her most ardent supporters will take off their blindfolds and forget about their own personal interest and do what is right for our country. They will not want to go down in history as the ones who helped destroy the Democratic party.

3) Fear not. Do what your heart and head tells you to do.Choose someone who can do you good You do not need a built in enemy. She and Bill will have lost power.Remember she tried to oust Senator Lieberman of Connecticut and he ran as an independent and left the democratic party. What a loss. Take heart and believe that she does not represent all America that is out there.

A word about our economy: the Feds did wrong in bailing out Bear Stearns believing the cock and bull story of Wall Street there would be a total collapse. Bear Stearns had sufficient assets to liquidate and get out of debt. They should have been allowed to liquidate first. Chase should not have taken so great a profit from this deal. Its a disgrace and a scandal. As for Wall Street, the Banks and the Oil Industry where they have gotten us? Into this mess.

If "Float" isn't taken out of the economy (tremendous sums of money being printed and put out there), by raising interest rates a terrible inflation which has begun and will get worse and lead to a total economic collapse. The whole world will suffer.

It's a balancing act. Listening to advice from those who got us into the mess isn't going to solve it. We must look for brain power who will, one step at a time, lead us out of this mess.

It means controls being imposed on the Oil Industry and shutting down the commodities market in Oil, to cut out speculation that is a leading cause of these prices. I believe most of the countries in the world will go along with a closing of that market to allow supply and demand alone to fix the price, not speculators. You stressed the importantance of concentrating on developing other means of energy. We have the sun, the earth (geothermal) and nature itself in the forms of Storms and Tornado's. We will find a way to harness some of that energy and store it for future use.

It can be done if we put our minds to it. There is energy all around us that we have not devoted our resources to discover. Einstein showed us only one of the ways and it hasn't been fully advanced.Nuclear power can be made much safer. I like your approach in thinking out of the box to come up with solutions instead of blame and name calling.
