Why Obama Didn't Pick Hillary as Veep

In his new book, David Plouffe "seems to confirm what a lot of us suspected during last summer's VP deliberations: that Barack Obama wouldn't pick Hillary Clinton because he couldn't figure out how to make a former President named Bill part of his White House family," ABC News reports.

Said Obama: "I think Bill may be too big a complication. If I picked her, my concern is that there would be more than two of us in the relationship."

Time runs a brief excerpt from Plouffe's book.
