Obama Puts Clinton Back in Her Place

Second place, that is. After this weekend’s pitch by Bill that he would make a great VP on a joint ticket with Hillary, Barack dismissed the idea as “gamesmanship” and “double-talk.”

“First of all, with all due respect, I’ve won twice as many states as Senator Clinton. I’ve won more of the popular vote than Senator Clinton,” Obama went on. “I have more delegates than Senator Clinton. So, I don’t know how somebody who’s in second place is offering the vice presidency to somebody who’s in first place.”

Right on. In related news, the Chicago Tribune takes on Clinton’s experience argument.

“…there is scant evidence that she played a pivotal role in major foreign policy decisions or in managing global crises.”
