McCain’s Role In An Obama Administration?
TITUSVILLE, Fla - Barack Obama has often talked about reaching across the aisle during his administration — and prominent Republicans have even been mentioned as possibilities for cabinet positions. So what role would he offer his GOP rival John McCain if he becomes President?
Suffice it to say, we won’t be seeing a Defense Secretary McCain.
“See, you’re setting me up to get in trouble, right here,” Obama told a Floridian who asked where McCain might fit into an Obama administration. The question elicited a big smile from the candidate and a lot of laughter from the crowd.
“Senator McCain, I would have him serve in the role of loyal opposition, in the minority,” said Obama after a pause. “There’s an important function to be served there. I mean it’s important to have an opposition that is keeping you on your toes and giving you a hard time and calling you out if you’re not doing what you say your gonna to do. That’s part of what is good about democracy.”
Obama’s Iraq trip partner Chuck Hagel, a Nebraska Republican, has been mentioned as a possible VP candidate, though Hagel’s people say he disagrees with Obama on nearly everything other than Iraq and is a very unlikely selection.

If I were Obama I wouldn’t be worrying about choosing a cabinet. It won’t be necessary.
It is good Obama thinks “loyal opposition” is a valuable position. I am sure he will enjoy holding it!
How about court Jester!

When true Americans think about what is at stake here, it will be obvious that this country is tired of the same failed policies of Bush and his surrogate, McSame.
Obama is the obvious choice here.
How about white house greeter? Its definitely an improvement to being a Walmart greeter.
He really is sickening with his comments and ever so ridiculous with the way he is spending our hard earned money for everything that will ruin our country further than it is. I hope and pray that the voters in our country wake up and smell the roses and pray for all of us to do the right thing. Putting Obama in office will only make hurt hurt worse.
Hagel’s people said that he disagrees with Obama on everything else besides Iraq? Are you sure? Are you real sure about that?
Might want to check that out before you go throwing it around in articles …oh but wait….this is FOX….my bad.
lying and distorting are the norm at FOX.
Obama is the future.
mccain is a depressing old dog that thinks the USA is still in the 1950’s. By the way Mccain IS VERBALLY ABUSIVE TO HIS STEPFORD WIFE. He has publically humiliated her quite a few times. In fact he called her the C word. not to stable….The USA will not elect a doddering old hothead like this war mongering fool. OBAMA 2008 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Here he is playing President again. Obama does not need to even consider any one for a cabinet.
McCain will win 53% to Obama 44% with the Other candidates taking a total of 3%.
The majority of the Vote will be from the Ederly {50 and over} who support the U.S. Constitution wholly.
The younger voters don’t understand the needs of today,as they might think they do.
He has his cabinet already picked. Wright, Ayers, Sharpton, Ludicris, Farrakahn, Jackson and all the other radical socialist/communists he hangs with.
Read the new book out. The Obama Nation.
the wave will rise and you shall see change coming .

you guys are f, you wont let me post. to afraid of the truth .
Would Obama consider a new set of teeth? I can assure you Jane up there in comments is correct! I think Obama would deffinately need those new teeth! John McCain is no panty waist or girly man like his opponent.
Jane: my husband just ordered the Obama Nation, guess we will have a coin toss or indian wrestle to see he gets it first! did I say “indian wrestle” is that politically correct???
No one is afraid of your idiot post. There is nothing to fear from “knuckle heads” like you. Your “truth” is about how you have been vicitimized for the last 400 years. Boring.

The only wave you will see is the wave they do at whatever “basketball” game your at. The only change you might see if you “change” your underwear. Your opinion, just like you and your underwear, stink.

Check out the poll on who injected the race issue here on Fox News last week.
The way the voting is going on this poll is about the way the election is going to go in November.
This gives you a very good idea the way Obama is slipping among all voters Nation wide.
Obama has no chance against McCain no matter who each would choose as Vice President.
