Speculation Grows That Obama May Drop Biden

Posted on 08/07/2012 9:08:03 PM PDT by tsowellfan

Joe Biden’s second week-long vacation in little over a month is fueling speculation that President Barack Obama may be preparing to make a change in his running mate.

"The Vice President and Dr. Jill Biden will be in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware. There are no public events scheduled," Biden’s White House schedule reads. A month ago, Biden and his wife, took the week of July 4 to vacation, also in Rehoboth Beach, the Weekly Standard reported.

“Biden's second week-long vacation in as many months is likely to fuel speculation that President Barack Obama is considering dropping the veteran politician from the ticket this election,” the Standard commented.

“Biden's frequent errors and gaffes in office and on the campaign trail have been the source of much consternation for the Obama administration, and have resulted in strong calls for Biden to be dropped from the ticket.”...

This is all so simple.

1. Hillary is, and always was a liar. In fact, she is a perennial, perpetual, obligate liar ( Sir Edmund Hillary is her namesake, She was under sniper fire in Bosnia. She read the Wall Street on how to succeed in the futures market, she didn't know about the FALN pardons, stealing White House china and art was somehow an error, she was a Yankees fan, and many other whoppers.) And So, in March of 2011 when she says that in she will retire from politics in 2012, any village idiot knows that she's running for VEEP in 2012.

2. This is important. In 2011, (alleged) President Obama, Vice President Biden, and Hillary Rodham (Clinton), by my guess, conspired to have Hillary be the VEEP candidate.

3. This means that Biden will need to bow out. Now, since Democrats are NEVER, EVER honest about anything, I expect Biden to FAKE a health condition, and just go along.

4. Then, since the Dems just love PUBLICITY STUNTS, I expect a fake plea from Obama to Hillary to be the VEEP, while...

5. Hillary FAKES playing hard-to-get, saying (lying, of course) that she's "retiring" and doesn't want it. Mind you, I suspect that this is the script since 2011.

6. So, just in time for the Dem convention, you will see (planted) "news" stories about allegedly worried Dems pleading to Hillary..."Please accept the VEEP nomination, Hillary, the nation needs you", and other such lines.

7. This will be a mandatory media fenzy (they have already ceded that First Amendment thingy to Obama, anyway), and the "news" media will make this a 24/7 national worry. How can we convince Hillary to accept?

8. I would love to be wrong about any of this.

Replacing Biden would be a smart political move on Obama's part.

No one on that side could unite their fractions more than Bill or Hillary. That party is in dire straights though their ideas to transform America is still intact.

Here are 56 reasons why Barack Obama is a lying, lawbreaking, warmongering, corrupt cronyist, who loves corporate lobbyists and Wall St., and who has no respect for the Constitution, limited government, rule of law, individual freedom, civil liberties, the taxpayers, or sick people who have prescriptions for medical marijuana

Dumping Biden for Bill Ayers makes sense.

Why? This fits right in with this administration. Perhaps Anvil Joe flew his dog in on a private helicopter, too?

Perhaps Delaware is a bit pedestrian for the Obama's, I guess.

You are right on the money, and I was just about to post many of the same ideas.

Thanks for typing it up for me!

Or Alan West.

Biden though, always seemed like an insurance policy for barry in that at least no one with any concern for the country, however misdirected, would do him any harm and actually raise Biden to the Presidency.

While I agree that Hillary would be the obvious choice to bolster Obama’s chances, I can’t see Obama trusting the Clintons enough to take the chance. With Hillary one heartbeat away from the presidency, Bamster might feel a little nervous. Plus Sweet Moochelle would never stand for it.

Palin as VP.

I don't know why you keep posting that. I've told you a couple of times already, that Palin wrote in her book, "Going Rogue", that she'll never run as a VP candidate again.

I love the Gaffe-O-Matic. I wish Obama would let him out to talk more often with the press.

Trust me, you will be.

Hillary has passed her 'sell by' date with rank and file Democrats. They're nearly as tired of the Clintons as we are. It's partially why she lost to the unknown up-and-comer, Barry Obama, to begin with.

And if anyone thinks that Moochelle is gonna sign off on Hillary becoming Barry's new VP, they're dreaming. There's some seriously bad juju between those two.

While I see your excellent points, my FRiend, these are practical matters.

This is "business".

Besides, the Clintons have been pretty much "scooped". They got nuthin' (ceptin' a few WH place settings.)
