People make shit up during campaigns. Get over it already.

I'm getting annoyed with the media's ill-informed questions about "but, Obama said Hillary wasn't qualified during the campaign, and she said he wasn't qualified, so how, oh how, could he choose her and she choose him?"

Uh, because during a campaign you are required to beat the crap out of your opponent, even if you think they'd be as good as, or even better than, you in the job. This isn't rocket science, and every reporter knows it. Rivals always savage each other, and the candidate who wins very often chooses their rivals as VP and in the Cabinet (thus the reason people were surprised that McCain didn't choose Romney or Huckabee as his VP). This isn't news, and the answer is already known. Are reporters hoping Obama and Hillary are going to say "uh, because we both kind of exaggerated about each other during the campaign?" Not going to happen, and reporters know it's not going to happen, so why ask the question at all - and why not just tell the viewers the answer to the question, since the reporters already know it?
