What Barack Says About Me

Obama: “Jim Johnson has a very discrete task, as does Eric Holder, and that is simply to gather up information about potential vice presidential candidates. … They are performing that job well. It is a volunteer, unpaid position. ... They're not people who I have assigned to a particular job in a future administration.” (Nedra Pickler and Mary Clare Jalonick, “Senator Says Obama Vice Presidential Vetting Team Looking At Retired Military,” The Associated Press, 6/10/08)
