Also, please remember that BO did not reach the magic 1,600 delegates during the primary, and will not actually be the nominee until and unless he wins a sufficient number of superdelegates in the balloting at the convention. If BO wants to get HRC to stand down and lock up the nomination, then he needs to offer her the VP spot before the convention's roll call vote. By waiting until the vote, he runs the risk off HRC getting a majority of the superdelegates, in which case BO might be the one to get offered the VP spot. And boy would there be a lot of chagrin to pass around then.

Obama was in the Senate for more than a year before he began running for president. And what makes Hillary more qualified than Obama? The fact that Hillary had to lie and say she was under sniper fire in Bosnia just proves
that being First Lady does not qualify you to be President. Obama built his political career from scratch, whereas Hillary owes her ENTIRE political career to Bill Clinton.
And Obama shouldn't have to offer Hillary the VP slot for her to stand down. Hillary should accept the fact that she LOST and start putting the needs of the party over her own selfish interests. But the fact that she can't goes back to what I was saying during the primaries, she has a sense of entitlement to the presidency just because her husband was president. Bush had that same sense of entitlement back in 2000, and we all know how that turned out.
