lack-of-trust to Zakeet
Not saying it will happen, but replacing Biden would be easy and have no downside for Obama. Obama needed him on 08 for Foreign Policy cred. Now Obama is Pres and is assumed to have it (by the sheeple)
SO here is how it is done.
Obama announces that after a recent health scare, he and Joe have decided it is best for the country if Joe is replaced on the ticket with someone younger and healthier. Joe will continue his public service in the second term as Special Envoy, Sec of State, AG...
If Obama picks Hillary or Holder as his running mate, Either steps down to campaign full time and Biden is named Acting AG/Sec o State. To be confirmed after the election.
If Obama picks someone else - say a Hispanic from the southwest, then Joe can be given a special assignment to focus on (keep him on message) from now until election day. Like Point Man on Iran, or Syria or Egypt... in constant consult with our allies.
Sure it has. Lincoln dropped Hamlin for Johnson, FDR replaced Garner with Wallace then later replaced Wallace with Truman.
(John Nance Garner was the man who gave the world the famous quote that “The Vice-Presidency isn’t worth a pitcher of warm piss.”)
Ike came damn close to replacing Richard Nixon in 1956 and was only talked out of it by Henry Cabot Lodge.
The socialist president has thrown a number people under the bus — including his white grandmother who raised him from birth. If it helps his re-election, I don’t think the muslim would hesitate for a second to crush Slo-Joe.
