Joe Biden Takes Another Week Off! (Is Joe Being DUmped from Ticket?)

weeklystandard.com ^ | August 6, 2012 | DANIEL HALPER

[PJ-Comix]

Joe Biden is taking another week off.

According to his official White House schedule, "The Vice President and Dr. Jill Biden will be in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware. There are no public events scheduled." Just one month ago, Biden and his wife, Dr. Jill Biden, took the week of July 4 to vacation. That vacation was also spent at Rehoboth Beach, Delaware.

Biden's second week-long vacation in as many months is likely to fuel speculation that President Barack Obama is considering dropping the veteran politician from the ticket this election. Biden's frequent errors and gaffes in office and on the campaign trail have been the source of much consternation for the Obama administration, and have resulted in strong calls for Biden to be dropped from the ticket.

[PJ-Comix]

Is Joe Biden about to be tossed under the bus by Obama? And if so, who would replace him on the ticket? Hillary?

[Izzy Dunne]

Barry-O is canceling his life insurance policy?

I doubt it.

[txrefugee]

Joe “The Gaffe” Biden will stay on the ticket. He’ll play an important part at the Democrat convention....handing out programs listing the speakers at the podium.

[silverleaf]

Sounds like poor ol Joe is “suffering from exhaustion” and “needs to spend more time with his family”

watch for him to get torricellied

and watch out for Hillary, Barry owes Bubba some quid pro quo for his campaign backing and Bubba wants back in the center of DC so badly it is pathetic to see

Hillary’s appearance is still godawful (age and executive) inappropriate but at least the ol’ gray mare is dying and washing her hair again and wearing makeup

[Beagle8U]

“And if so, who would replace him on the ticket? Hillary?”

Now that the RATS have gone full on queer, Barney Frank is the logical choice.

[The Sons of Liberty]

With the impeached rapist, Bubba Klinton, working with the kenyan and giving a speech at the DU convention, it could be a real possibility.

[Venturer]

It sounds like a good place for Joe to go. Many of the gay constituency is known to gather at Rehobeth Beach. A very gay friendly beach.

[JLAGRAYFOX]

Joe Biden, the dumbest human being alive on earth is really not the “Democrat” problem. it is POTUS Barack Hussein Obama who is going to take down the Democrat Party big time, come November 6, 2012. The dummies in the Democrat Party that did not force hate America, Obama to resign, earlier in the year will rue the day they supported this failed POTUS and anti-American. End of story!!!

[Sooth2222]

I agree Obama would be crazy to have Hillary one heartbeat away from his job.

Obama must want Biden to arrive at the rat's convention tanned, rested and away from the microphones. Or else he really is crazy.

[immadashell]

who would replace him on the ticket? Hillary?

When the pretender and the serial rapist get together, the Hilldebeest could serve them coffee.

[Mr. Jeeves]

They may try putting Hillary in, with Joe leaving for "health reasons." I don't think it will help. People who are mad at the state of the economy aren't going to be impressed, and Hillary's core voters weren't going to be voting for Romney in any significant numbers, anyway.

But if the Chief Mars Rover Architect does this, it will be only under tremendous pressure from his party. There is no way his ego can tolerate a Clinton sharing the limelight with him for long.

[Izzy Dunne]

My guess is that the O’bama team is playing the “Clueless Joe is just tired from working so hard for the merkin peepel, let’s give him a few days off.” card, instead of recognizing true cluelessness.

[rarestia]

Bubba wants back in the center of DC so badly it is pathetic to see

Reminds me of this image I saw in the news last week:

"Hey guys, remember me!"

Just look at Obama's expression. He's gotta be thinking, "Ah shit... what the Hell am I doing?"

Clinton's like the doddering old drunk uncle who is always where you don't want him to be, but you need him around to sign over his social security checks to you.

Can you imagine if Obama picked BILL Clinton as his VP? I would imagine the presidential race would take a very dramatic turn if that happened. Just the sort of thing Barry needs to buttress his sagging numbers.

[mazda77]

Gee, look at the upshot; think of how much money we are saving just in jet fuel.

[Proud2BeRight]

Biden is only around so that Obama is not the dumbest person in the room.

[mountainlion]

May be that crack head Joe has been caught in some illegal money dealings and is about to take Boama down.

[Toddsterpatriot]

Can you imagine if Obama picked BILL Clinton as his VP?

Old Uncle Bill is ineligible.

[Hoodat]

Maybe he’s getting a brain implant while he still can.

[Johnny B.]

Old Uncle Bill is ineligible.

That didn't stop Obama! ;-)

[Hotlanta Mike]

Say it ain’t so Joe...

[concerned about politics]

And if so, who would replace him on the ticket? Hillary?

Gee, if anything were to happen to Oboma - SHE would immediately become president.
Think he'd take that risk? She's always coveted that position. There would only be one man standing in her way.

[Past Your Eyes]

Maybe the name of the source should be changed to The American Speculator?

[silverleaf]

Man oh man, that picture is worth 10,000 words

the only good thing about having the incompetent bureaucrat Hillary as VP would be watching the woman hatred coming from Moochelle and Valerie Jarrett, and watching Bill constantly upstage both his wife and the WH

popcorn, please

Not sure Hillary would ever do this, she’d almost certainly have to give up her live-in girlfriend

[Wings-n-Wind]

With the impeached rapist, Bubba Klinton, working with the kenyan and giving a speech at the DU convention, it could be a real possibility.

***************

Seems...
X42 is still working all the angles...

....the gaffe-guy gets jettisoned...
.... then the hitlery-beast uses her sharp elbows, the testicle hammer, and "the look" to get into the 2-slot...

just food for thought....
(pass the popcorn)

[shadeaud]

Watch...........Colin Powell

[tcrlaf]

“They may try putting Hillary in, with Joe leaving for “health reasons.””

I hate to break it to you, but this has been the plan, since AT LEAST last summer, if Obama appeared to be in trouble come Convention time.

It’s been talked about, over and over again, by any number of Democrat/Media websites like Kos.

[PGR88]

I doubt Hillary would get on Obama’s sinking ship.

[ontap]

Why would Hillary get within a mile of this train wreck!! I think Bill is going to do just enough to be able to claim he was a loyal party guy and then hope for failure when Romney is elected...it is the only path for Hillary. If the doesn't run in 2016 she will be to old. Four more years of Obama is going to be disastrous for the country for sure but it will certainly be disastrous for the dems. No way to blame Bush!!!

[rarestia]

How’s he ineligible?

[VanDeKoik]

Have you guys notice how there are no yard signs?

So yes he is getting dumped.

[CaptainK]

He likes the podium and the crowds too much. Joe will go kicking and screaming. It will be ugly and the Obama campaign doesn’t need ugly right now.

[CaptainK]

Joe looks more healthy than Hillary.

[bert]

He is taking some time to write and polish a speech describing about the wonders and glamor of his hometown Scranton PA in light of the recent fiscal crisis. Scranton has a no gaffe policy so he needs time to be sure his lies are correct

http://news.yahoo.com/scranton-pennsylvania-meets-financial-woes-233034894.html

The recent closing of the power house Dunder Mifflin distribution warehouse has shaken the cities economy and Biden needs to bone up on the company since it came about after he left town.

[KC_Conspirator]

Yes, you know it well. Btw, I will be next door at Dewey Beach, most likely at the Starboard or Rudder...

[Johnny B.]

How’s he ineligible?

Term limits.

To be Vice President, you have to be eligible to be President, and since Bill Clinton has served two terms, he is not eligible to serve another term as President.

[certrtwngnut]

The beast did’nt even look healthy when she was healthy.

[ponygirl]

And maybe the Clintons are holding certain “secret” documents over the Kenyan-born Marxist’s head.

[Blagden Alley]

RB really isn’t that bad. If you are a family with kids down from Philly you won’t notice it. The main beach is straight and family. A mile or two north there’s another beach, but off season it’s mostly fishermen.

I’m from DC and the wife and I are moving to RB. Have known it for 30+ years. After all this time in DC, the gaydar is fairly well tuned. Anyone without that might not even notice. Even the T-Shirts in RB are on the decent side. Evey few years they get a bit risque, and the next year it’s back to safe.

If you are gay, it might be fun, but you’re still an outsider.m from DC and the wife and I are moving to RB. Have known it for 30+ years. After all this time in DC, the gaydar is fairly well tuned.

They have their few restaurants and hangouts, but not that prominent. Mostly back streets.

[rarestia]

Did not know that about VP eligibility. Were there any early presidents who later served at VP?

[rod1]

No. It is important to understand that you can’t keep up that rate of gaffes without a recovery period. It take a massive toll to keep churning out those gaffes.

Poor Joe has been expending so much energy the the past 3.5. years keeping those gaffes coming almost daily. He has to rest up as there is an important home stretch in the campaign that is straight ahead. Joe is needed given there is so little time and so many potential gaffes to unload.

[allmendream]

According to the 22nd Amendment Bill Clinton is unable to be ‘elected’ as President - and that means (according to most legal scholars) he cannot be Vice President as he would be unable to ‘serve’ as President (the 12th Amendment).

Some argue that the 22nd only counts for election as President and if elected as VICE President he would be eligible to serve - but that doesn't seem to be the prevailing opinion.

[running_dog_lackey]

Obama needs Biden to make himself appear intelligent.

[MinuteGal]

If Biden is being tossed under the bus, look for Hillary to be the veep candidate. I think this deal was made long ago when she was named Sickretary of State.

She would be approved by acclamation at the Dim convention as she still has substantial support within the donkey party.

She would be hailed as a great bridge between the Left and the extreme Left which now divides its ranks.

Plus, Obama wants to win so badly he would put the bride of Frankenstein on his ticket.

And he may yet do so.

Leni

[rarestia]

That was from where my misunderstanding stemmed. I thought the 22nd only applied to election of the President. If Obama were to be Vince-Fostered, I figured Clintoon could get another 4 years of philandering.

[pallis]

Say it ain’t so, Joe, idiot that you are.

Other than saying stupid things, Joe has always been the nothing VP. There is a reason for that.

[Toddsterpatriot]

Thanks. What you said.

[allmendream]

Keep in mind that the 22nd Amendment was passed in 1951.

But as to your question - Adams served as President then as the Vice President under Jefferson, his political rival - back when the rules provided that the person who won the second most votes in the Electoral College would be the Vice President.

Thomas Jefferson had served as Adam's Vice President - so they exchanged places effectively.

[Hope for the Republic]

Is Joe Biden about to be tossed under the bus by Obama And if so, who would replace him on the ticket? Hillary?

I hope not for two reasons: First right now the polls are showing the race as neck and neck. We need to be well above the percentage of fraud.

Second Joe Biden is just so much fun to watch. He is a walking talking gaffe machine and I actually enjoy wondering just what stupid thing he is going to say next.

[Hillarys Gate Cult]

You got that correct. Libs claim he could do almost two more years but that’s only if he took over another President’s term for less than two years. There is no partial term for him no matter what they think.
