I like Sen. Joe Biden. I like his fire-in-the-belly approach to politics. I like what he did in the 90's with the Balkans. Im sure he'll make a great vice president if the ticket wins in November.
But...
Obama has missed yet another great, and largely very important opportunity. Just name one other candidate who won over 18 million votes and has 1500 delegates. You cant. The golden chance to ensure the party unified, all those Hillary supporters, would have had the chance to move to Obama, if Hillary was AT LEAST vetted. She was not. She wasnt even asked for her opinion on things. She hasnt seen respect. And neither has her supporters.
There remains a great chance that Obama could lose half of all Hillary voters. Thats over 6 million voters who will vote for McCain or will stay home in November. My guess, most of them will just stay home. Because we dont like McCains economic policy, but many of us are just not sure about Obama either. Its a real problem that Obama doesnt know how, or doesnt even care to know how to win over the middle class vote. Its the same problem democrats have had for years.
Im deeply dissapointed. Obama is a good candidate, but he could be great. He has to show respect to the middle class before he gets the middle class vote. And he needs that vote to win. Snubbing Hillary and trying his best to destroy Bill CLintons legacy, is not the way to do it. Its the way to lose. Obama should do more to pay off her debt, put more of her positions on the platform, and show us some respect.
He should do something for his brother in Africa too. If I was in the position Obamas in, and I had a brother living in a shack, I would do a lot more for him. Its family. I dont care if you dont know much about him. You should help.
Im sure Obama has some convictions in there somewhere.

2nd, you do have a brother who live in a shack, so you can do something about it. Just go to the nearest down town skid road. He will surely be right there.

Minus the faked out contest in MI/FL, and not to mention TX which BO won more delegates thus won TX. NO 18 million, only fuzzy math.
See we do know how to count now.
2. Some Texans voted twice (primary,caucus).
3. MI/FL delegates were counted AFTER the nomination roll call.
This election should be about issues, not personality. Obama will win if the election is about issues. Dont lose the focus. Talk to people about how McCain doesnt have solutions for those issues.
Obama supporters, and democrats as a whole, should at least be gracious enough to recognize Sen. Hillary Clintons achievement, rather than try to rob her of it.
