SubscribeHillary Camp: Obama Has To Qualify For VP
From The Hill:
Clinton camp: Obama must pass ‘security threshold’ to be veep
By Sam Youngman
Posted: 03/10/08Senior advisers to Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-N.Y.) on Monday sought to reconcile the campaign’s assertion that rival Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) has not passed the “commander-in-chief test” with the Clintons’ hints in recent days that the New York senator would tap Obama as a running mate.
Howard Wolfson, Clinton’s chief spokesman, said during a conference call with reporters that Clinton would reject any running mate who has not met the “national security threshold,” as Clinton’s military advisers and Wolfson put it on the call. But he added that it is possible Obama could meet that threshold by this summer’s Democratic convention.
Wolfson repeated Clinton’s weekend assertion that picking Obama is “not something she would rule out at this point,” but he also reiterated that Obama is not ready to be commander in chief, a key requirement to being Clinton’s running mate.
When asked if Obama could do something to cross that “threshold,” Wolfson said, “It’s not something that I’m prepared to rule out at this time.”
Obama campaign representatives responded to the confusion created by Wolfson’s statement, with campaign spokesman Bill Burton calling it “perplexing” and foreign policy adviser Susan Rice saying it was “amusing.” …
How hilarious.
No, Mr. Obama is not qualified to be President now — or Vice President. But he may by some miracle somehow become qualified by the time of the Democrat convention this summer.
What a laugh riot the Hillary campaign has become.

What’s the matter SG? You don’t like Improv? Perhaps Howie could replace Drew Carey on the hit game show “What’s My Line Anyway”
Remember this all comes from the camp of an “unindicted co-conspiritor” who owns the patent on the definition of “IS”.

I guess the Clintonistas don’t like it that the Obamistas have surpassed them in their promises to withdraw, surrender and disarm the US faster and deeper - appeasing the liberals at home and internationally, not to mention those that threaten us.
… too bad that in all these fantasies reality steps in: the enemy always has a vote.

““national security threshold,” Where in the world are the Democrats going to find an American who could pass a national security threshold in their party? Wasn’t the reason Sen Lieberman was kicked out of the Democrats party because he wanted to defend America and they just could not allow that?

Seems like desperate acts from desperate people.
