Joe Biden is a good guy but that does not mean that Obama and his campaign should have failed to consider a Hillary play and treated her more respectfully. This in the face of what I think would have been a craftily offered refusal by Mrs. Clinton. Why does she need to be a Veep for a potential Obama Presidency which is speculative at best? First off they do not get along. Next, she looks better on her own in 2012 in light of McCain's promise not to run again or Obama flubbing. Back to Joe Biden. He has to work on his appearance, he looked like a Scranton short sleeved plant manager with a bad hair day. His hair was flying and he kept smoothing it over and his shirt was wrinkled and not tucked in down below. When I started my first sales job in 1973, they taught us to always have an immaculate appearance when meeting our customers. Believe me, in any vocation, appearance does matter and when he gave that speech, he was not neat and well groomed. The sight of Obama sitting just to the left of Biden looking just like The Thinker created the appearance of an Odd Couple, and that is what they must avoid. I know that being a strong Republican supporter I have done my share of Obama criticism. That is not to say that an Obama-Biden ticket cannot win in November. There is not a true military connection on the Obama side, Biden's background reflects Obama's own obsession with talking without carrying a big stick, Nevertheless, we cannot discount the anger in the electorate and when they are angry, they change, sometimes based on skewed evaluation. One thing though, Obama has consistently boasted about voting against the war (Biden the opposite) and always has maintained he was right. I think it is going to turn out that he was wrong and like all Americans unable to credit himself while being subject to proper and necessary omission of classified information. Finally, Obama should have played that old song by Cornelius Brothers and Sister Rose- Treat Her Like a Lady before he apparently offended Hilliary Clinton, my own Senator. I'm hearing very unacceptable accounts on Fox that Michelle Obama is thought to be behind the Hilliary dis although so far there is no probative evidence of this. All I can say if my wife of 27 years was First Lady, she would be running the world for sure.
