Hillary gets stiffed

[Ron Burgundy]

Thereâ??s one Democrat who would seem to have little or no chance of being picked by Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) to be his running mate â?? his former opponent, Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-N.Y.).

But itâ??s not for the reason you think.

Obama has often said, most recently on NBCâ??s â??Meet the Pressâ?? on July 27, that Clinton â??would be on anybodyâ??s short list.â??

But apparently not his.Â*

â??She was never vetted,â?? a Democratic official reported. â??She was not asked for a single piece of paper. She and Senator Obama have never had a single conversation about it. How would he know if sheâ??d take it?â??

The official also said Clinton never met with Obamaâ??s vetting team of Eric Holder and Caroline Kennedy.

And the official said she was never asked for medical records or for any financial 2008 information about her or former President Bill Clinton. The last information the couple has disclosed about taxes and financial holdings was for 2007.


</br>The Clintons also were not asked about donors to the William J. Clinton Presidential Library.

â??This would be the biggest leap of faith ever,â?? the official said. â??Sheâ??s waiting for the text message like everyone else.â??Â*

An Obama aide said "absolutely exhaustive research was done on her over the course of the 16 month primary. She was researched more closely than any candidate in history."

This report seems strange I would not trust it. I believe Obama did more than this article indicates on checking out Hillary for his VP. I would not want her as his VP though.
