Obama veep on Saturday?

August
19

Barack Obama may wait until Saturday to announce his choice of a running mate.

The presumptive Democratic presidential nominee has scheduled a major rally for Saturday at the Old State Capitol in Springfield, Illinois. That’s also where he kicked off his presidential campaign in February of last year.

The Springfield event will be followed by several stops in battleground states until his acceptance speech on Thursday of next week at Mile High Stadium in Denver.

His running mate will speak the night before.

The Obama campaign has promised to make the announcement via text message to people who sign up to be among the first to know.

But it’s likely Obama will appear in public with his running mate shortly afterwards.

    Biden would have the same affect as dropping a boat anchor. He loves to hear himself talk too much. Plus I cannot picture him playing second banana.
    Frankly, I’d love to see him as the pick. He would provide endless laughs.
    (in my opinion)

    COUNTDOWN TO APPEASEMENT
    The “APPEASEMENT KID” will be picking his ‘WITHDRAWAL PARTNER’ and they will then go on an ‘APPEASEMENT TOUR” to Denver.
    They will fly ‘APPEASEMENT ONE” and ‘WITHDRAWAL TWO” be waiting for the VP with Nancy Pelosi as it’s pilot.
    To save on fuel Nancy will use her “Hot Air” to fill it up.
