Imagine four more years of 0bama and now add Hillary.

Then add eight years of Hillary as pres.!

Voters dumb enough to elect Obama once are dumb enough to do anything.

The only thing that would be a bit awkward for the Democrats in getting Hillary as VP is that numerous Democrats already said they aren’t even coming to the Convention. Who was it? Feinstein? Who told members of Congress to just stay home and campaign in their districts?

Exactly, I don’t care if I had the Secret Service protecting me, I would not want to be the one man between Hillary and higher position.

Hillary is very... creative.

He might as well pull one finger out of his azz and insert the other.. either one smeels the same.

I seriously doubt Hillary would step in as a step toward presidential aspirations for 2016. I believe she is 61-62 now, and looks very tired. She wold be 65-66 and although that is not "old" by today's standards, I just don't think that she, in particular, has the stamina for the daily rigors of the Oval Office.

That said, I also doubt that Obama wants anyone as a VP. I am sure, if he could, he would eliminate that position. I think he wants to keep someone useless there, someone who is a "yes man," and someone who can play the Court Jester to deflect attention away from the real issues. That's why Biden was selected in the first place.

It is my opinion that Obama most likely feels he "don't need no stinkin' VP" but, because of tradition (not his support of how our government operates and is structured) and others' concerns for replacement if something should happen to him, he had to pick someone. He certainly didn't pick a qualified person to take over in that event, showing his disregard for America. The first time around he just couldn't get away with running on his own...yet. I am sure, if he is re-elected his plan is to attempt to do away with the requirement for a VP. Dictators never have a second in command appointed.

“Palin did a perfect job of lobing a turd into the Oval Office punch bowl by calling for Obama to replace Joe with Hillary.”

There was a discussion here yesterday about why Sarah Palin was “helping” Obama by giving him advice. She always seems to be one step ahead of everyone else; I am sure she saw this coming and made the “suggestion” to either prevent it or as you say throwing “a turd into the Oval Office punch bowl”.

The funny thing is that part of the discussion was from people asking why when Gov. Palin suggested it... it was brilliant, but when McLame said the same thing it was frowned upon. That is because McLame really seems to always be trying to help the other side.

The two clintons were bought and paid for by China. What China wants, China will get. If Oboma doesn't cave to hillary (China), Oboma is in big, big, trouble. The Chinese are very sneaky, and very patient. They'll "choose" hillary for the presidency sooner rather than later.

There is no way Barry dumps Biden because there no positive way to spin it.

"Vice President Suffers Massive Stroke"

Partial recover possible but only with long term rest and therapy.

President Obama dedicates his 2010 campaign to Joe Biden and his family.

Reluctantly agrees to replace Vice President on ticket with Hillary Clinton.

I don't see this as being inherently bad if Obama brings in Hillary. Once again the multiple scandals and etc., would be front and center.
I truly believe that America has chronic Clinton fatigue.
Also that brings Bill Clinton back into the spotlight and his track record for campaigning for others is abysmal.
Watching this aging, lecherous shell of himself out once again on the campaign trail debasing himself, trolling for young girls will be unbelievably pathetic!! He is the absolute Kiss of Death now.
So let the circus sideshow begin!!!!!!!!!!!!

I posted my thoughts about this on the other thread:

My thoughts are this:

1) Obama is sunk either way--with or without Hillary because it's just too late now given the Ryan pick, and

2) Hillary is sunk either way in taking a spot on the ticket now OR waiting for her own run in 2016 because it's just too late now given the Ryan pick. Ryan would CREAM her, Cheese Head style, in a match-up.

They're just sunk, period. ;-)

____________________________

Also, Romney/Ryan WILL win Ohio because Ohioans will consider Ryan to be an adopted son due to him being a Miami alumnus. I know firsthand (my "Miami Merger" child,) how the VERY gracious people/fellow students of Ohio treat out-of-state Miami students:

They treat them as one of their OWN from college days forward, thoroughly. And I don't mean in a "clique-style" way. I mean in a "make good friends for life" way. And I can TELL you, to a student, that Miami of Ohio kids (most of which from Ohio and are very much like their parents,) are just like Paul Ryan--good kids with great heads on their shoulders--and humble, respectful and polite to boot.

When I found out that Ryan went to Miami, I knew that the Buckeye State would go for Romney/Ryan. And I believe that between Ohio's eighteen electorals together with Florida--given that now their new election laws will stand--will seal the deal.

Just my (happy) thoughts.

Won't work if Oboma/Clinton signs are already being printed. Someone, somewhere, will talk for the right price.

how could the One make the change if the Repubs were the ones who recommended it? It would be a sign of weakness.

Everyone will forget, in two days, that this was suggested by some in the GOP. And B. Hussein Obama will still have 4 more years to destroy this nation.

My uncle played on the Miami OO hockey team in the late 90’s. You may be correct. He doesn’t seem like an outcast for discussion whenever an OSU grad chimes in.

I can’t believe the Democrats have become SO desperate that Hitlery Cringtong is preferred over the illegal Muslim occupier.
