Obama: "The shady people who are picking my Vice President don't work for me"

Barack Obama has zero executive experience, and it is showing. When reporters quizzed him about ethical clouds hanging over two people on his VP selection committee, Obama tried to distance himself from them by making the bizarre claim they are not working for him. I assume he was making a hyper-technical legal argument - they aren't employees of Obama - but Clintonesque parsing doesn't speak well of Obama's leadership. And it doesn't inspire confidence in their eventual VP pick.


Don Surber says a veteran politician would vet the vetters.
