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

Robert Reich
Dec. 28, 2011, 7:08 PM

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.

Moreover, the economy won’t be in superb shape in the months leading up to Election Day. Indeed, if the European debt crisis grows worse and if China’s economy continues to slow, there’s a better than even chance we’ll 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 haven’t 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 year’s 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. She’a topped the list 16 times since 1993, exceeding the record held by former First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt, who topped the list 13 times.

If that comes to pass, prepare for a state funeral sometime in March 2013, and a National Monument built shortly afterwards in Fort Marcy Park.

Shined? Delusional but, the media will be wetting themselves and Chrissy's tingles will cause him to dispose of his undies after every broadcast if this happens.

Depends on the swallow, and the size of the coconut, actually.

But that's all the respect this runt (mental and physical) needs.

I intend to publically, and loudly ridicule leftists every chance I get, from now on.

Thanks for letting me practice my technique.

Shined? Shined? What, pray tell, have they shined? I don’t think either one has sense enough to shine shoes. To say that they have shined at foreign policy is absurd.

The Clintons have bags of Chinese-paid cash to divvy up after their divorce, which I predict sometime in 2012.
Neither one needs to run for public office again.

At this point I’m not planning to vote for any presidential candidate. But you can bet your ass I would vote against that b*tch if she’s on the ticket.
