Hillary Clinton as Obama's running mate?

Hillary Clinton is not the person for Obama to put on his ticket. He says that he represents change in this country, but if he puts Hillary on his ticket it will be clear to me that he cannot stand up to the difficulties he would face if he became elected and surely would not be the president he claims he would be. Lowering gas prices? Get real. If he cannot keep Hillary Clinton, the slimiest person in politics at the moment off of his ticket, how his he going to stand up to the oil companies who are more powerful, better funded and smarter than Hillary. Hillary claims that she can win over the people that are not following him right now, but my question to you is who could not? If he can find a well spoken, intelligent person who has virtually any political background he would be just as likely to have them follow him as if he had Hillary.
Also, if Obama put Hillary on his ticket, during his term she would always be criticizing his ideas and it would make it even harder for him to change this country in a good way, having to put up with the biggest negative impact imaginable. Obama should realize he has won the primaries, choose a different running mate, one who is not thirsting for power and play the general well with McCain. If he does all of those things I believe that he will have a substantial chance of being our next president. The question, though, is whether or not he will do those things.
