Someone to tell Obama he's wrong

The thought of being a politician never appealed to me until just recently when Barack Obama said of his future vice presidential choice:

"I want somebody who's independent, somebody who's able to tell me, 'You know, Mr. President, I think you're wrong on this and here's why'."

I would be so good at that job it's sick. Passionately and tirelessly, I could serve, off the cuff and (gasp) without use of a teleprompter.

I therefore humbly submit my name for consideration for vice president, and as a bonus I can start telling Barack where he is wrong and why today.
