Robert Reich Predicts Hillary Clinton Will Replace Biden as VP on 2012 Obama Reelection Ticket
Obama’s political shell game …
Robert Reich predicts Hillary Clinton will be in and Joe Biden out as VP on Obama’s 2012 Presidential reelection ticket. This is certainly not something that we have not heard rumored or speculated before. However, according to Reich he has no inside-baseball information to come to this conclusion, only a hunch. Reich states that Obama needs to stir the passions and enthusiasms of a disillusioned Democratic base and an increasing poor economy.
Check out the look of disdain on Hillary’s face as she gazes at Obama
My political prediction for 2012 (based on absolutely no inside information): Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden swap places. Biden becomes Secretary of State — a position he’s apparently coveted for years. And Hillary Clinton, Vice President.
So the Democratic ticket for 2012 is Obama-Clinton.
Why do I say this? Because Obama needs to stir the passions and enthusiasms of a Democratic base that’s been disillusioned with his cave-ins to regressive Republicans. Hillary Clinton on the ticket can do that.
Bill Clinton calls Obama a media driven fairy tale
In other words Reich is saying that Obama needs to create a diversion and to play a political shell game so that “We the People” will pay more attention to a change rather than the failed “Hope & Change” that Obama promised. Let alone a continued poor economy that has millions of Americans out of work. Barack Obama obviously cannot run on his record … so Reich wants Obama to play political diversion games. How nice. Reich then goes on to say that this would set up Hillary Clinton to be the 2016 Democrat Presidential candidate.
Of course this presumes that an Obama/Cinton ticket would win.
Explain how this could co-exist in the White House?
One, does Hillary Clinton really want to put all her political eggs in Obama’s basket and run on the Obama economy and Obamacare? Two, could Obama and Hillary Clinton really get along, add Bill to the mix. Talk about the political “Odd Couple”. Three, does anyone really think that Joe Biden is the reason why Obama’s job approval numbers are so low? Biden has done everything for this President including selling his soul and acting the fool, even more so than usual. Four, imagine the political ads against Obama/Clinton taken from their 2008 primary battles. Five, does Obama have the ability, humility and personality to accept that he is the problem and Hillary Clinton is his Savior? Hardly, many had suggested Obama not run for a second term for the betterment of the party. That was never an option for Obama’s ego. Barack Obama has continually shot down the notion that Clinton and Biden would swap jobs. If he makes such a flip-flop now, it would show just how politically weak “The One” truly is. Also, he would be, if elected, a neutered President and everyone would know who really worse the “pantsuit” in the Oval Office.
OTB has more debunking of the Obama/Clinton fantasy ticket.

Barack Obama’s Approval Rating of 43% Lowest Ever of Any President at this Stage of Term in Modern Political History … Lower than Jimmy Carter
BARCK OBAMA … WORST PRESIDENT EVER!!!
Barack Obama is officials the worst president ever for this state of his term in office in the modern Presidential era. According to the Gallup poll, Obama has a 43% approval rating. As compared to all other modern day presidents, Obama’s approval rating is the lowest ever, including Jimmy Carter.
Mirror Images … Welcome to Carter’s Second term
President Obama’s slow ride down Gallup’s daily presidential job approval index has finally passed below Jimmy Carter, earning Obama the worst job approval rating of any president at this stage of his term in modern political history.
Since March, Obama’s job approval rating has hovered above Carter’s, considered among the 20th century’s worst presidents, but today Obama’s punctured Carter’s dismal job approval line. On their comparison chart, Gallup put Obama’s job approval rating at 43 percent compared to Carter’s 51 percent.
Barack Obama has been an EPIC FAILURE. His present 43% approval ratings compared to other president’s approval ratings at the same point in time during their terms. Obama has hit a trend that his reelections minions cannot shake. Obama has consistently been at 43% for weeks. Only to be even lower in weeks prior to that.
- Harry S. Truman: 54%
- Dwight Eisenhower: 78%
- Lyndon B. Johnson: 44%
- Richard M. Nixon: 50%
- Ronald Reagan: 54%
- George H.W. Bush: 52%
- Bill Clinton: 51%
- George W. Bush: 55%
No President will be reelected with a consistent 43% approval rating. Obama’s approval ratings have literally politically flat-lined.
How bad is it for Obama? It is not like this is just one poll that has The One in the low 40′s. The RCP average has him at 43.4% approve, 51.2% disapprove.

Hint, Hint, Hint … Bill Clinton Says Presidents Should be able to Run For a Third Term
You once, twice three times a presidential term. Former president Bill Clinton thinks that former Presidents should be able to run for a third term. Who on Earth could he possibly be referring to? Please slick Willie, two terms is enough for any President. We should be talking about term limits for US Senators and House Representatives and the over al;l amount of time any one individual can spend in political life, not extending it. All politicians should be subject to term limits, it would certainly end much of the lobbying and corruption.
Three times could be a charm — but not for him.
Former President Bill Clinton said Tuesday that presidents should be able to run for a third term as long as they take off some time after their second term.
“I’ve always thought that should be the rule,” he said on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe.” “I think as a practical matter, you couldn’t apply this to anyone who has already served, but going forward, I personally believe that should be the rule.”
Clinton made the remark in the context of a question posed by “Morning Joe” co-host Joe Scarborough, who said that many wished that Clinton could run again.

Presidents George W. Bush & Clinton Honor the Heroes of Flight 93 in Shanksville, PA … September 11, 2001 … 10 Years Later
To the heroes of Flight 93, we remember you and we shall never forget … LET”S ROLL!!!
“Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends”
Former Presidents George W. Bush and Bill Clinton spoke today in an emotional event in Shanksville, PA at the unveiling of the memorial for victims of United Airlines Flight 93. The heroes of Flighty 93 were remembered today by GWB as he said, ” … they left something else, a legacy of bravery and selflessness that will always inspire America. For generations people will study the story of Fight 93. They will learn that individual choices make a difference. That love and sacrifice can triumph over evil and hate. And that what happened above this Pennsylvania field ranks among the most courageous acts in American history.“
Today was a day of honoring the 40 heroes of Flight 93 and remembering that your actions and what you do in life can echo an eternity. The heroes of Flight 93′s names are known to as all as a who’s who of what is great about America and her citizens. The heroes of Flight 93 were “We the People” who on the morning of September 1, 2001 became the first counteroffensive against the Muslim extremist terrorist. The heroes of Flight 93 embodied what is great in all of US. Against all odds, they said NO! They refused to be victims, they prevented what all know would have been a plane attack on the White House or the US Capitol. The heroes of Flight 93 gave their lives as they battled to take over the cockpit (VIDEO).
“The most likely target of the plane was the United States Capitol,” Bush said. “We’ll never know how many innocent people might have been lost, but we do know this: Americans are alive today because the passengers and crew of Flight 93 chose to act, and our nation will be forever grateful.”
Each of the 40 heroes names were read, followed by two bell rings. Sadly, even the mention of an unborn child was referenced reminding us of just how many truly innocent lives were lost. That was followed by a bagpipe performance of Amazing Grace and then Grammy-award winning singer Sarah McLachlan sang “I Will Remember You.”
Their names are permanently inscribed in our minds forever. Those who fought back against terrorism and foiled their plot of destruction. The gave the ultimate sacrifice and for that we shall always rememner you … GOD BLESS YOU ALL. We remember Todd Beamer, Mark Bingham (VIDEO), Jeremy Glick, Sandra Bradshaw, Tom Burnett and all.

KUDOS to former President Bill Clinton and VP Joe Biden for attending and speaking at the event. Clinton praised the passengers of Flight 93. What was most impressive of Clinton and Biden was their honest assessment of former President Bush and his handling of the horrendous events of 9-11 and the days that followed. Biden praised GWB for his bringing of America together on a day that could have divided us.
VP Joe Biden thanks President GWB for Uniting America following 9/11
“There has always been a special place in the common memory for people who deliberately, knowingly, certainly laid down their lives for other people to live,” said Former President Bill Clinton. “Ordinary people, given no time to decide, did the right thing…I hope and pray to God that people will remember this.”

Former President Bill Clinton Fondly Remembers a Romantic Time when You could still get a Prostitute in Times Square
Putting the “Slick” back in Slick Willie … Bill Clinton longs for the days of yore, but it ain’t the WH years.
Wow, this almost needs no writing what so ever, just a tile and picture. Former President William Jefferson Clinton reminisces and remembers fondly a time long past. or is it fondle? Clinton fondly remembers a “romantic” time when you could still get a prostitute in Times Square. From the man who disgraced the Oval Office …
I did not go to Time Sq. in 1964 and get a hooker, not a single time, never …
Clinton said he first visited Times Square in 1964 when he was a freshman at Georgetown University. He said he saw “a hooker approach a man in a gray flannel suit.” He said it was “pretty heavy stuff for a guy from Arkansas.”
Clinton then said the following … “I still have vivid memories of it,” he said. “Romantic. Fascinating. It was dangerous.” OK, hold it, hold it, pause … WTF! Hookers, prostitutes pimps and peep shows in Time Square as romantic. Trying to get to a Broadway Musical while being propositioned by whores. Hmm, romantic, nostalgic, sorry not seeing it.
Doesn’t this comment speak volumes of the individual that Democrats deem as their elder statesman.
