Billionaire and BET founder Bob Johnson sent a letter to the top-ranking African-American member of Congress Tuesday saying that Sen. Hillary Clinton should be the vice presidential nominee. In a shocking acknowledgment that Clinton was aware that he sending the letter and that she would serve on the ticket if asked by Obama, the owner of the Charlotte Bobcats said that, the Democrats have a responsibility to “put its best team on the field,” and that best team includes both Clinton and Obama. “I believe that if Obama runs this country as well as he ran his campaign, his presidency would be greater than the Emancipation Proclamation,” Johnson said in an interview on CNN. “There is no question that Sen. Clinton will do what she is asked to do with the party.” He went on to say that Obama can win without Clinton, Johnson said, but “if you want a unified Democratic Party, we have the best chance of winning with Obama at the top of the ticket and Sen. Clinton as the vice president.” When asked whether he was in effect limiting Obama’s options by forcing the Illinois senator’s hand on the vice president nominee, Johnson said, “My letter was not a pressure letter … it was encouragement letter. … This is Obama’s decision.” This isn’t the first time that Johnson has drawn national attention for his support for Clinton. In the heat of the campaign, he brought up Obama’s youthful drug use as a reason why Obama should not be president. At first he denied the comments, but when his words were blasted in the national press, he was pressured by the Clinton camp to apologize. In another instance, he reportedly sent a letter to members of Congress suggesting that he and other big-money Democratic donors would withdraw contributions to the party if Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi continued to urge her colleagues to come out in support of the frontrunner, who at the time was Obama. Do you think that Bob Johnson has gone too far? Should Obama offer Clinton the V.P. spot?
