If Whoopi Goldberg Could Pick Obama's Running Mate ...

By Whoopi Goldberg

Alert me to Whoopi's new posts

In response to: Who would you like to see Barack Obama choose for his vice-presidential running mate?

I would like to see Barack choose Michael Bloomberg or Bill Richardson.

I love Michael Bloomberg , but a black man AND a jewish man… lets get past one hurdle at a time. How would that play in the hinterland ?

Aren’t we in the 21st century? Either of these two men would be great as VP. Most Jewish men rise up to become very successful business men. Isn’t this something we would want? Aren’t we past the stigmas? jgordon

I sure do wish WHOOPI would run for Prez. I’m serious. I’ve thought so for years.

Richardson looked and sounded great in the debates. I wondered why he hadn’t any traction and asked a lobbyist friend who works in government about it. He said Richardson doesn’t do so well behind the scenes.

oh noooooooooo…Richardson??? slimey,,,self promoting..definitely NOT vp material. his resume??? oh please, a little of this , a little of that,,,,gadfly. no real substantial leadership. I can’t see Bloomberg,,,,who has been in charge forever,,,taking this kind or role…, nor do i think he brings anything to the ticket. the VP absolutely has to help get Obama elected. experienced,,from an important state,,,

I like the idea of Whoopi and Chris Rock as the ticket. Have any of you seen Chris Rock’s stand up “why I’m scared”. I think that’s what it was called. I thought… man I’d vote for this guy. And I’ve ALWAYS thought that about Whoopi.

Joe Biden. When Powell fell from grace, heads of state of other countries called Biden to find out what was going on with Rummy, Cheney and Bush. Biden is the smartest (which is why he talks so much), knows all the players and where the bodies are buried. And he’s a good guy.

I would like Senator Obama to choose Caroline Kennedy as his VP. Caroline has the Kennedy name brand. The name is known worldwide, respected and the American People love Caroline. The Republican machine wouldn’t dare attack her. She is intelligent, smart and I believe could handle the job. You may say Caroline doesn’t have experience. And I would say. What has experience gotten us the last eight years? And you must answer this question honestly. Caroline definitely couldn’t do harm, as VP for eight years. After eight years as VP she would be ready to run as PRESIDENT! Yes, go Obama/Caroline 2008!
