Weekly Standard ^ | 8/16/12 | Daniel Harper

Posted on 08/16/2012 7:01:51 AM PDT by SoFloFreeper

Obama's sick of him.

And how many are sick of Obama?

"10:15AM THE PRESIDENT and THE VICE PRESIDENT receive the Presidential Daily Briefing Oval Office Closed Press

10:45AM THE PRESIDENT and THE VICE PRESIDENT meet with Secretary of State Clinton Oval Office Closed Press

12:30PM THE PRESIDENT and THE VICE PRESIDENT meet for lunch Private Dining Room Closed Press"

Ok, after reading this, the speculation is a bit silly. This is nothing but routine Oval Office stuff. Obama would not need something like this penciled into an official schedule. He would just do it in private and spring it at the convention.

Agree with you there...the union contractors I know ALL wanted Hillary, not 0bama. They would come running. God help us if this comes to pass. For me, there is no other way to spin this possibility except sickening. A desparate 0bama is capable of anything. He paid off Hillary’s campaign loans, he probably still has much on her, or at least his thugs do. Dimwit biden would go quietly into the night.

.... Probably meeting to set up a scenario where poor Joe comes down with a sudden and serious illness and Hillary must step up to the plate to save the nation and the world .......... and oh ..... the universe too.

I don’t think Obama would care how much Hillary overshadows him if he tossed Biden and put her on the ticket. Obama and FLOTUS just care about another four years on Air Force One, unlimited golfing and vacations and no work to speak of.

Scary any way you look at it.

A friend of mine actually works at the printing shop where those signs are made. He called me the day before yesterday and told me they’re printing Obama’s signs. He said “you ain’t gonna believe it. I wish I could tell you but I’m sworn to secrecy as per the contract. You’ll know sonner or later”.

I know he wishes he could tell me but he can’t.

You think this could have something to do with that?

The worst thing that could happen to Hillary is FOUR MORE years of Barry whether she is vice-president or not.

If Barry is re-elected, ANY REPUBLICAN could beat any Democrat in the next election.

Hillary and Bill are rooting for a one term crash and burn Barry administration.

Hillary’s best chance to be President is four years of Mittens, and four more years of speaker Boner as long as the Dems and Harry Reid control the Senate, Our Republic’s path will continue to spiral downward.

Presidential power is overrated, it is that Democratic and RINO Senate who have done even more harm to Our Republic than Barry.

I truly believe this is going to happen.
Hillary will replace Biden.


Me too. And he will do it closer to the election for the biggest impact. Maybe an “October surprise.” He isn’t stupid enough to keep Biden when he knows Clinton would guarantee him 4 more years. And he has a history of throwing friends under the bus. If he adds Clinton, it’s game over.

Hildabeast’s best bet is for Bambi to lose then run in 2016.
If Bambi wins, Bambicare is fully implemented and he EO’s this country into something resembling Kenya. No way a Rat could be elected in 2016.

We can't really be sure of that anymore. The Oboma administration, i.e., Hillary, has set the world on fire. The middle east is getting over run by terrorist groups, Iran is still building the bomb to annihilate Israel, Russia is poking at us, and the worlds economy is on the brink. Hillary now has a failing record.

What has Hillary done right? What has Oboma done right? They're both miserable failures.

Maybe McCain already knew about Obama’s alleged plan and through him Sarah Palin heard about it. It’s all making sense now.

That’s the only reason I can see that Palin would have suggested this - in order to pre-empt it from happening because then we could say that Obama is taking orders from the dread pirate Palin. Maybe she had a clue that they were setting Biden up for the fall and wanted to pre-empt it if possible.

First off: Can not believe how many of you here coward at the thought of Her Royal Thighness.

Second: It may be a smart move for Obama but a bad one for Hillary. Why she would put her future in the hands of a loser like Obama is beyond me. Does she really want to go into an election cycle where finance and jobs are number one and she gets a month to prepare for genius boy Ryan? Does she want to govern with what looks like to me a Republican House and Senate in her way?

Third: Like Sarah I say BRING IT ON if it does happen. Let us have the chance to bury the Blamer in Chief and the entire Clintoon past!

LET’s ROLL!

Scalia (turns 80 in 2015)
Kennedy
Baader-Meinhoff Ginsbug
Breyer

.... Yeah ..... I'm sure they're not discussing the dinner menu. However I'm sure they ARE cooking something up.

If Barry is re-elected there will be no more elections (unless you belong to the democrat party).

By 2016 the GOP will considered a hate group.

Recall that meeting Al Capone had with his boys in the Untouchables movie (and it actually happened in real life). Biden better keep his eye out for any baseball bats.

Then where did Hoodat get the Obama/Clinton sign? Obviously they're already out there.

Romney needs to step down. Only one person can handle the Clinton. We had better hope Newt will forgive how he was treated in the primary.
