Hold onto your seats everyone, things are about to get interesting.
Rumblings of a Joe Biden presidential run continue to get louder and despite the claims of James Carville, some Democrats and the Clinton campaign are starting to panic.
Just days ago, Hillary Clinton cut her vacation short in order to get back onto the campaign trail. Her return came shortly after Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren, a darling of the left who many wish were running for president instead of Hillary, met with Biden in Washington D.C. for lunch. Warren's non-commitment to another Senate run is also making the Clinton camp extremely nervous because it's an indication Biden may choose Warren as his VP nominee.
But it appears Hillary Clinton isn't the only part of the Clinton equation upset about a possible (and probable) Biden run. Former President Bill Clinton seems to be concerned a Biden run could destroy his chances of reoccupying the White House. From POLITICO:
Clinton’s camp, hands full with the email controversy and a surprisingly stout challenge from independent Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, isn’t in a patient mood. Bill Clinton, according to a person who has spoken with the former president in the past couple of weeks, is “very agitated” by the possibility of a Biden candidacy and incensed at the press hype around a possible bid.
If Biden does in fact get into the race, there's no doubt President Obama will not only endorse him over Hillary, but will offer the resources and infrastructure that got him elected in 2008 and 2012 as additional support.
The longtime feud between the Obamas and Clintons is far from over.
They can write a big fat check to Biden.
There should be a pic post rule for Ms. Katie!
“but will offer the resources and infrastructure that got him elected in 2008 and 2012 as additional support...”
Like ACORN!
Poor Willie. He might not get that second “15 minutes” after all.
Big deal.
Doesn’t cost either of them anything.
Hillary Clinton is in deep trouble.
She should be spending thirty million dollars on advertising showing her hugging kittens, but she’s not.
Why not?
She’s not really running....she’s just accumulating gobs of $$$$ to pass around to friends “non profits” and to her “non profit”...that’s been my theory all along
Go slo joe!
I think Bily figures that he would have a knock down funeral if he was in the WH when Satan came calling.
The last person that want’s Hillary to win is Bill. The White House would become a prison for him with no access to his buxom blond girlfriend.

It never was. Obama only appointed Cankles at State for 2 reasons: 1) to ensure that the Party was unified going into the election; and 2) to set her up. He and his people knew of her penchant for secrecy, and that she'd do illegal things, and he set her up with a wink and a nod that "it'll be OK" plus a verbal agreement that he'd support her in 2016. Well, SURPRISE, SURPRISE, SURPRISE! - the SOB lied to her.
That there is what is known as Karma - and we all know that she (like Shrillery) is a bitch.
I'm going on a popcorn run on the way home from work today - this is going to be very entertaining.
Hilliary would finally get her payback against him. Once he is out of office, he is nothing.
I too think it was a setup by Bammy from the get go. Hilary is not that bright and becoming entangled in an avoidable email scandal is a rookie mistake.
<><> Clinton Foundation donors,
<><>groups bribing the Clintons w/ humongous honoraria,
<><> those who bribed Bill w/ multi-million dollar consultancies.....
<><> and all the insider business deals
<><> faithful Clinton insiders working the con for 2016 Hillary.
================================================
CLINTON CASH AUTHOR PETER SCHWEIZER OBSERVES:
Deleted Hillary Emails Probably Relate to shady ‘Clinton Cash’ Transactions:
At first glance, the Clinton’s astounding honoraria and humongous Foundation donations seem to provide the bulk of the couple’s income.
Bill's honoraria increased dramatically---earning some $50 million during Hillary's four-year term as secretary of State....including an Irish scholarship fund, a Korean conglomerate, and, a Nigerian newspaper company......each of whom paid Clinton more than half a million dollars for a single speech.
The Wash/Post reports Hillary earned $11.7 million for 51 speeches since Jan 2014.....she pocketed an astonishing $625,000 for two speeches in one day!
I firmly believe the Clinton Foundation's gigantic donor list, and their astonishing blizzard of speaking honoraria, are a smoke screen for their secret wealth----and the way they make billions sub rosa---intertwining their vaunted "charity" work and public office.
The calculated Clintons have sought to branch out into other business activities......though little is known about the exact nature and financial worth of Bill and Hillary’s non-speech business interests.
Recent reports indicate the Clintons were party to multi-billion dollar Mideast arms deals....Kazakhstan uranium mines....and Haitian gold mines...oil deals....telecom businesses, financial powerhouses like Teneo, Goldman Sachs.....etc etc etc.
THE CON ARTIST CLINTONS GRABBED EVERYTHNG THAT WASNT NAILED DOWN---Lucrative business interests were cunningly intertwined w/ the Foundation's "do-good" activities....enabled by Hillary's catbird seat at the State Dept.
At last count the Clintons apparently raised $2billion from their foundation activities and their political campaigns.....
.....does not include monies flowing in from the various lucrative business ventures, interest accrued, safe deposit boxes, real estate assets, passive income on which they pay no taxes, income from Chelsea's hubby's hedge fund, monies invested in Goldman Sachs, interest in financial powerhouse Teneo..... etc etc etc.......
They are worth a bundle.....accumulated in record time.
====================================================
Legal action might involve (1) an FBI investigation, and, (2) the US DOJ---both in the grip of Obama so political hijinks loom. (3) a congressional committee, with subpoena power.
Here's a fourth option: a six-month investigation: indicated the Clintons diverted tens millions of dollars that they solicited for specific Foundation charitable purposes (that were found to have been diverted to the personal enrichment of themselves and their close associates).
THIS IS CONSIDERED MAIL FRAUD Raising money for a specific cause that was diverted elsewhere is considered mail fraud.

If the FBI, DOJ and IRS won't shape up to nab the conniving Clintons, the US Postal Inspector has been known to lock-up many crooks for using similar scams.
in other news, price of popcorn futures rises dramatically
I wholeheartedly agree with you. Bill would have to pretend they have a real marriage 24/7 not just a few days every year. and he certainly doesn’t want her upstaging him by being the first “female president.
Klinton meets Karma. Ha!
They’ve been breaking promises like Hillary breaks ash trays since they were born. Then they were forced to accept Obama’s offer for Hillary to SOS. She had to take the job. Otherwise the party would have kicked them both out. At that point Obama was their god.
So, they took the deal on the promise that Obama would do everything he could to help her replace him. Now Obama is saying “Nope. Biden is my choice. Hillary needs to worry about emails.”
It’s so obvious from the picture on Clinton and Obama on the golf course that Bill is pissed. I’m thinking he was given the bad news. Plus, there would be no pardon.
Someone needs to arrange for interns at the Clinton Foundation. Then Bill Clinton wouldn’t care whether he gets to move back into the White House.
I wonder if the presidency is even on the table for the Clintons. When they look at the numbers they’re pretty sure the democrat party is going to take a beating and they don’t want to be at the top of the ticket. What’s on the table now are pardons.
