The idea came to me after reading this excellent post over at the Secular Apostate. The Apostate suggests that Obama needs "(p)olitical heft and experience. To balance Obama’s apparently unbearable lightness of being." I started thinking about the magnitude of the need. Just who would have sufficient heft and experience to counterbalance someone made of whipped cream?
Then the answer came to me. Dwight Eisenhower. He's got everything Obama needs. Military credentials to beat the band. A serious demeanor. Concrete achievements. He's positively flooded with management experience. A string of successes against serious obstacles in his past. He's everything Obama isn't. Specifically, Eisenhower has actually done something. And when you consider just how little Obama has done, he clearly needs someone who has done HUGE things in his life.
Oh, I know some of you will find nits to pick with this idea, but in the end, after you think about it for a while, you'll see that I'm right.
Eisenhower for VP!

So who would the modern day equivalent be? Colin Powell..? He is said to be leaning Obama.
I like Ike!
And even to this day, taking his age and condition into consideration, I think he would do a better job than either Joe Biden or Hillary Clinton.
I dunno, being a reanimated zombie really plays hob with one's thought processes, and the fascination with "Braaaaiiinnnnssss" gets in the way of more constructive activites.
I suppose just laying there being dead would probably be something of an improvement over a lot of other possible VP candidates, though. At least there'd be no danger of him saying something stupid.
"Braaaaiiinnnnssss" might be a good thing.
Geeze, Tim, you had to go and start picking nits, didn't you? What's the matter, are you a bigot against Zombie-Americans?
