Obama: "If I am not ready, how is it that you think I would be such a great Vice President?"

I'm sure you've seen the recent ads / skits / whatever about Barack Obama's inexperience. Yet just last weekend, Bill Clinton said that a Clinton / Obama pairing would be a "dream ticket," with Hillary at the top. This gave Obama a reason to ask a great question Monday, at a campaign stop in Columbus, Mississippi.

"I don’t understand. If I am not ready, how is it that you think I would be such a great vice president?"
Good question, Barack.

Here's another good point:
"Now first of all with all due respect, with all due respect. I've won twice as many states as Senator Clinton. I've won more of the popular vote than Senator Clinton. I have more delegates than Senator Clinton. So I don't know how somebody who's in second place is offering the vice presidency to the person who's in first place. I want everybody to be absolutely clear: I'm not running for Vice-President. I'm running for President of the United States of America."
There's some more of that eloquence that they've actually been making fun of. Way to go.
