Again, I'm sorry for what I posted to you.
. . . that the people really hate him. Broke his spirit.
At least he didn't EO the illegals in . . . yet.
Go and sin no more. And, for what it’s worth, I hate Clinton too. When I said at least he seems to like our country, I mean just that, not that he did us any good, not that he wasn’t a worm as president, and most especially, I did not mean I thought he has good judgment. He didn’t, and he paved the way for 9.11. We were not safe on his watch. I just meant that he grew up here and has common experiences of our way of life, which BO doesn’t. I apologize, too.
That’s not what the 22nd Amendment states. It states that no person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice. If he were to serve as VP, succession would not be by election.
I think that George Soros has a new plan - the old plan isn't working too well right now. Soros has cuddled up with the Clintons now -
Obama has to resign office and turn it over to Biden.
Biden picks Hillary as his VP.
At some convenient time, Biden will have a 'health event' that will cause VP Hillary to assume the presidency.
Soros is probably kicking himself that he went with Obama instead of Hillary in the first place.
That’s a sign of character right there.
Many lawyers have already said that IF Hussein Obama really IS an ilegal alien, then he was never legally President, and so is thus EXEMPT from impeachment. Then process would no more apply to him, than to you or me. His lawyers would probably insist on an eviction process from the White House, and then throw roadblocks into the procedure. He then might be in there for another year, smoking cigars and sipping Crown Royal, while America burns. Meanwhile, Lt. Col. Terry Lakin, who questioned his bona fides is still court-martialed.
There’s an old Sanskrit saying that goes something like this:
A cobra with a jewel on its head is just as dangerous as one not so decorated.
He and Michelle act more like people who won the lottery, or hit oil on their property, than a skilled political family taking on duties of the Presidency and the First Family. Clinton did the exact same thing, but Clinton at least knew how to play the role of Head of State.
Think about a few items. Obama brings in some unqualified, new-age "chef" to run the White House kitchen, with no thought or respect to the non-political, lifelong civil servants, including the White House Chief Chef, who serve in the White House. Clinton did similarly with the White House Travel Office, and one would think the "brilliant" Obama would not make the same mistake.
Obama bows to every Head of State he meets, apparently unaware he too, is a head of state, and therefore is an equal. This is how some tourist might act, not a sophisticated politician. The appointed chief of the White House Protocol Office was not filled for some time, and it is reasonable to assume Obama would not take advice from the lifelong civil servant permanent staffers of the office.
He does not know how to negotiate with other countries, as he and his administration have failed at every attempt. Compare to Reagan almost single handedly negotiating the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty without giving up SDI.
The left complains about "the optics" of Obama. But Obama is clueless. If you bring a predecessor President in for a joint briefing, you ask them to give a prepared remark, then you take control of the press conference. All questions go through you, you broker the questions to others, you remain in charge. This was more like a press conference of a group of Senators, of equals. Sure, 100 people can be Senators at the same time, but we only have one President at a time.
Obama has never been in charge of anything prior to being elected President. The one thing he is good at is organizing supporters. That is where his community organizing skills paid off. He would be a great deputy campaign manager, in charge of organizing and fundraising. As a State Senator, he was mediocre. He was very junior in a state house where seniority was everything. Obama was simply a vote, and was so weak he used the "present" vote to avoid being tagged with supporting something political risky. No leadership. In the U.S. Senate it was the same story. Seniority is everything. Obama could not vote "present", so he simply skipped town when a tough vote came along. As a nuclear arms policy wonk, he was Luger's useful idiot Democrat, an a across the aisle rubber-stamp cosponsor.
From Obama, there is no humility or respect for the little people who make the wheels of Washington work. We thought Clinton's arrogance and narcissism was the greatest ever to inhabit 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. But first, Clinton had been a governor, so he had some experience. Second, Clinton was so concerned with how he looked, how history would treat him, he was not about to make gaffes.
Obama is the Peter Principle taken to its ultimate conclusion. Relatively intelligent, clearly introverted, but a totally mediocre politician, whose maximum ability is probably a deputy to a cabinet level position, who somehow ends up as POTUS. Obama could probably do a good job as the Under Secretary of State for Arms Control and International Security Affairs. But as President, he is a disaster.
“In the meantime, the enemies of this country (other than Barry) are licking their chops waiting to move in on the kill, because there is no leadership in D.C.”
Yes, they are. They also think we have a scared little man in Mom jeans as POtuS.
Correct. One cannot serve as VP unless they are eligible to be President.
Didn't Jimmy Carter do the same? It's a good reminder that no movement in politics is permanent. Not the "center-left" BS we heard in 2008, and, I worry, not the tea party we have now.
No. Only the sitting president is be addressed as Mr. President. Generals, admirals, ambassadors, judges, senators, etc., may be addressed by their former titles throughout their lives, but not former presidents.
When Nixon forced the communists to the peace table, it was because he was a strong leader. Bombing Hanoi and all.
Then Ford assumed the reigns and the communists correctly surmised he would do nothing if they violated the peace accord. They were right.
Says a lot about our electorate.
In the library now and having to cover my mouth to stay quiet, but having a hard time while looking at this pic — ROTFLMAO!!!
No, but he can nominate a VP if Biden resigns. But it won't let Bill get in since he only is allowed 2 more years as president, so he isn't eligible to be VP.
Here's another scenario. Unlikely since zero hates the Clintons anyway, but maybe Soros has his nuts in a vise and could make anything happen.
25th Amendment Section 2. "Whenever there is a vacancy in the office of the Vice President, the President shall nominate a Vice President who shall take office upon confirmation by a majority vote of both Houses of Congress."
Biden resigns before January 21. Obama could nominate Clinton, but Bubba only has 2 full years of presidential eligibility remaining, so he appoints Hillary instead. The House and Senate voter her in as VP. Obama resigns. Hillary is prez.
