Klein: Hillary Turned Down Veep Spot
Townhall.com ^ | August 17, 2012 | Larry Kudlow

Posted on 08/17/2012 7:32:16 AM PDT by Kaslin

According to author Edward Klein, Obama has put out feelers to Hillary Clinton about accepting the VP spot on the ticket, but Hillary has said no. In the exclusive video below, Klein tells Larry Kudlow why Clinton is reluctant to take the number two spot.

Klein: Until just a couple of weeks ago, the White House was putting out feelers to see if Hillary would accept the vice presidential nod and replace Joe Biden. Bill Clinton was, I'm told, urging his wife to accept the number two slot. He saw this as a great launching pad for her for running in 2016. But then Hillary had lunch in the White House a couple of weeks ago with Valerie Jarrett, Michelle's best friend, senior adviser to both the First Lady and the President. 

Kudlow: Just about the biggest Lefty in the White House.

Adam West will be 69 in 2030.

Holy "child actors"! If that were true, that would mean he was only five years old(!) when he first appeared in Batman.

Hillary will be 69 in 2016.

Yep. Hillary's trouble is, she's aging fast. Real fast. By 2016 she's going to look like she's 80. This is her today:



Sorry, but 'old' just doesn't sell well in a presidential race. Besides the fact that Hillary really is yesterday's news.

Color me skeptical.

IMO turdball Joel Klein invented this story to pump up his own importance and popped the bubble, deinvented the story, all on his own, without any notification from the White House. And while the option of the Hillary Biden swap may well have been pondered in the hallowed halls of the West Wing, Joel Klein has maybe 3 neurons more than Joe Biden himself and those are probably borrowed. So the idea that the WH would float this through such a numbskull is to me, far fetched. Or in Joel’s case, fart-fetched.

Hillary accepting the VP nomination would have been a feather in Bamboozlers cap. Glad it did not happen. Let “Joe The Genius” carry on as planned!

This is why I have my doubts about this story. Bill Clinton is too astute to think it would be a launching pad for Hillary. He knows her best chances are to run against Romney in 2016. And it doesn’t matter if Romney is doing a good job. It’s all politics.

Hillary meeting with Jarrett proves who’s in charge.

Still believe Obie will either have a nervous breakdown or a prescription drug OD before the election.

No no! We do not want a man " ...hounded to desperation by racists Republicans".... offing himself on this watch. Got 'nuff martyrs out there now.
