The biggest complaints people seem to have about Obama are "not old enough!" and "not white enough!". Picking an old white guy for his running mate seems like the obvious choice.

 

Actually, the biggest complaint is "not experienced enough". And since he'd still be making most of the important decisions, having an experienced running mate can't make up for that. That's why McCain has my vote, even though I'm a registered Democrat.

It's not about party, race, gender, or anything that superficial. It's about who is best for the job. Instead, people are flocking to this guy because he's so different than the last guy, and not considering how capable he really is. That is exactly the kind of support that last guy had.

And yet a cabinet advises the president on most of his decisions, and the president often takes these suggestions in great weight. And if the last 2 presidents have shown us anything, it's that experience doesn't exactly make a great president. The only sad thing is that Biden won't be able to control Obama like Cheney controlled Bush.

 

 

W Bush was not that experienced. That's why he went with his cabinet blindly. Not sure Obama would be that dumb, but he just doesn't strike me as ready yet.
