why doesn't obama make hillary his vice president?

Because there are many possible candidates who are also democrats who backed him from the start. The ones without the spines are the ones who remained quiet until he started emerging as the victor. Now everybody claims they were Obama supporters the whole time. I agree that they should unite because they are democratic, but Hillary seems like she would have other motives and would be a sore loser after the behavior she displayed while on the campaign trail. Plus, if Obama doesn't become president for any reasons other than the fact that hes half black, he has Hillary to thank for those reasons. She spent alot of money to tarnish his name and give racist people a reason to point the finger. People who hate him just cuz he's half black can now point the finger and call him "elitist" "racist" "terrorist sympathizer" "muslim" and whatever other terms Hillary and her campaign team have branded on the guy. People who might even realize they are racist but deep down inside they are, but this gives them reasons to justify why they don't like him. I liked her and was going to vote for her until she started all the accusations and "digging up dirt" that wasn't really dirt at all. Then I took a closer look at Obama and liked what I saw. Americans always complain about the president and what our country is doing and all these other things, but those same people have an opportunity to change it now, but they won't because of his color or because they believe all these lies about the guy without looking at the whole story. They will vote for McCain and continue to complain about all the things they wish were different with america. I believe this will be the first president that will really make a change. I don't think he's an actor or saying things he wont deliver on. This is americans chance to change what is wrong and make it right and this is the first guy in a long time that will do this.

because he does not have the power to make someone his vice president.

he may, however, make someone his vice presidential candidate, but he will never be President of the United States.

I firmly believe the majority of this country would never allow that socialist, racist, and terrorist sympathizer to become our Commander of our Armed forces

Because his wife does not like hillary at all.

Because he is about change and having her as his VP would be sticking to 'old' politics. It's not his thing.

Because there is no money in the budget to hire a food taster.

His instinct for survival
