ROBERT REICH: Get Ready For A Obama-Clinton Presidential Ticket

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 hes 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 thats been disillusioned with his cave-ins to regressive Republicans. Hillary Clinton on the ticket can do that.
Moreover, the economy wont be in superb shape in the months leading up to Election Day. Indeed, if the European debt crisis grows worse and if Chinas economy continues to slow, theres a better than even chance well be back in a recession. Clinton would help deflect attention from the bad economy and put it on foreign policy, where she and Obama have shined.
The deal would also make Clinton the obvious Democratic presidential candidate in 2016 offering the Democrats a shot at twelve (or more) years in the White House, something the Republicans had with Ronald Reagan and the first George Bush but which the Democrats havent had since FDR. Twelve years gives the party in power a chance to reshape the Supreme Court as well as put an indelible stamp on America.
According to the latest Gallup poll, the duo are this years most admired man and woman This marks the fourth consecutive win for Obama while Clinton has been the most admired woman in each of the last 10 years. Shea topped the list 16 times since 1993, exceeding the record held by former First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt, who topped the list 13 times.

Anyway, yes, I believe this is a "trial balloon" to check on media reaction (not so much to check public sentiment).
Sorry, just saw that info.
She would not wait that long. To her, Obama's reelection would be her election to the Presidency.
The past 12 years of my life have been the downside of “be careful what you wish for”.............I don’t wish fer nuthin no more!
Here's what will happen: The Democrat ticket will not feature the Mombasa MF, he will withdraw for reasons of health and racism. The Presidential candidate will be Hillary Rodham Clinton.*
The Vice Presidential Candidate will be a utility non-caucasian to be named. Maybe Colin Powell(Michael Jackson being still dead).
Meanwhile, back at the RNC, the Republicans are busy drafting contingency plans to lose to anyone the Democrats can come up with. They have given Karl Rove a billion-dollar budget. That alone guarantees defeat at the polls and a really monumentally stupid campaign.
*Yo, that has been the secret plan all along. Kenya Boy was supposed to come in and do the heavy lifting and take the heat, then Comrade Hillary is supposed to come in and institutionalize the socialist movement. She is a lot smarter than the Mombasa MF and is actually a "Natural Born Citizen."
Reich says "Joe-Joe Biden as SOS?" That half-pint knows the score and that ain't it. Joe-Joe will become ambassador to Delaware.
Nothing can save the Golfer-in-Chief now; especially not an alliance with the Hildebeast!
LOL!
Yes she would.
She wants TWO FULL terms of her own, plus as much of his last term as she can get.
If he leaves office, for whatever reason, before his mid-point, she only gets the rest of his term and only ONE full term of her own.
See Amendment 22...
The Clintons have done enough dirty deeds, and should not
be brought back to power. Miss “sweetness and light” Hillary
is one of worst. Read up on their past history and get a real
good view of what they were all about.
I would think that Vincent Foster would have something
to say about any ticket that Hillary was on, if he was alive, of course.
Right now Reich would say just about anything to keep from having to actually get a job again.
A few days ago he just repackaged Michael Lind's "Tea Party = Racists" propaganda.
Today he's recirculating this old chestnut.
It would be really surprising if anything like this happened.
Clinton and Biden have settled into their current jobs.
Biden isn't going to become the country's diplomat-in-chief without scaring the hell out of the country and the world, and Clinton isn't going back into electoral politics without a substantial transition period to shift gears and adapt to current circumstances.
Now, hitlery going in on her PUMA support and birthers and her chinee pals— could happen. Biden as Sec. State— one giant faux pas, and continuous stupidity— he really is quite stupid. And a plagiarizer.
If those bones could talk.....
Why wouldn’t she simply eliminate him earlier in 2013? That way she could get two terms with only needing to be elected President once?
Greed.
Power lust.
She wants a full decade.
Actually she wants power forever, ten years less a day is the most she can Constitutionally have.
Compare to George Soros, why wasn’t 10 million enough, 100 million, a billion?
Some people just can’t be content destabilizing a just few countries’ currencies...
Not really we got Obama
