Can you believe that Sen. Obama now is immersed in the resignation of his first big appointment as nominee? Geez. He says he's going to change things, and then picks a big time, big money party insider to lead his VP committee who gets roiled in big money scandals and has to resign. Is this Obama, Clinton, or Bush? Give me a break. That isn't reform.

I'm really disappointed. I'm glad I've endorsed Cynthia McKinney. Come on Sen. Obama. You don't get a free pass. Either you actually change things or your support is going to be shallow. Don't think that your appearance can disguise a mainstream attitude. As has been said many times times before, if people have a choice between a republican or a republican, they'll vote for a republican every time. You better think about that Sen. Obama.

What about getting some new thinkers in there? Look at where the old thinkers have gotten us - in a huge mess. This is exactly what people want changed. This is the kind of thing that desperately needs change. My suggestion to Sen. Obama is to make himself head of his selection committee to pick his vice presidential candidate. And then get some new people in next to you instead of these same old "washington insiders."

I doubt if this is going to do any huge damage, and I know the pressure to conform to the already existing party structure and it's main leaders must be enormous. But, the ultimate irony of this is that you picked the guy because of experience. (he had been involved a number of times in this process and probably knew the protocol and all that) You chose experience over change. Huh? But aren't you asking people to pick change over experience? You got it bassackwards, Senator! Stop doing that! We can't afford a Bush 3rd term.
