Speculation Grows That Obama May Drop Biden

Posted on 08/07/2012 9:08:03 PM PDT by tsowellfan

Joe Biden’s second week-long vacation in little over a month is fueling speculation that President Barack Obama may be preparing to make a change in his running mate.

"The Vice President and Dr. Jill Biden will be in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware. There are no public events scheduled," Biden’s White House schedule reads. A month ago, Biden and his wife, took the week of July 4 to vacation, also in Rehoboth Beach, the Weekly Standard reported.

“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,” the Standard commented.

“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.”...

Hillary has passed her 'sell by' date with rank and file Democrats. They're nearly as tired of the Clintons as we are. It's partially why she lost to the unknown up-and-comer, Barry Obama, to begin with.

And if anyone thinks that Moochelle is gonna sign off on Hillary becoming Barry's new VP, they're dreaming. There's some seriously bad juju between those two.

I'd bet a small fortune that I'm right (if I were a betting person, and actually HAD a small fortune, that is.)

It's not a "juju" matter. It's polling and promises (as if they would not be broken like all the previous ones, ha ha)

How does one tell when Biden is on vacation or not?

Obama should name Sarah Palin as VP. If some of us held our noses and overlooked McCain to vote for Palin, maybe a few will do the same, overlooking Obama.

And if the Republicans take the U.S. Senate, Sarah could use the 25th Amendment, Section 4 (after Congress names itself as the body to decide) to declare Obama unable to carry out his presidential duties. That’d give her 3 weeks to name 10 more Justices to the U.S. Supreme Court and get them approved by simple majority. Orly Taitz comes to mind. Sheriff Joe and his posse for the remainder? All legal as church on Sunday, and just be glad BHO didn’t do it in 2009.

Amen. I'm still in shock that Joe "F'n Deal" Biden is Vice President of the United States.

JOE BIDEN.

Dear God in Heaven, how did our beloved country come to this?

He annoyed me no end during Iran Contra, my first encounter with him. Surely these past four years must be one long bad dream. Right?

You are mistaken, as the vp candidate Sarah Palin engaged in a substantial praise Hilary effort in the belief her primary voters would support the gop ticket because Obama dissed Hilary.

Or Dick Cheney. It'd put Wyoming in play, and force Romney to spend time and money there to defend his turf.

Or former Senator Craig from Idaho (Republican). It'd shore up his base in the GLBT community, and again force Romney to change his strategy to compensate.

I can see it playing out that way if, indeed, Biden’s shown the door for Hillary. In my view, the Democrats really screwed up in 2008 by picking Obama over Hillary.

Please—I’m a skeptic as to this newsmaxx article. Why would we expect a conservative website like newsmaxx to know anything about the inner workings of Obama’s evil empire?

Maybe Obama’ll drop Biden, maybe he won’t but you won’t learn about it first in NewsMaxx. I wouod guess the NY Slimes would be more likjely to be in the know

This is what I posted several times last week.

The MSM tried to sucker Romney into announcing his VP choice early in order to give Obama new talking points. So far, it didn't work. The sooner that Romney announces, the sooner he will lose control of the news.

Romney will wait until after the Olympics to announce. If he's smart, he'll wait until the convention to announce in order to keep the Democrats from trying to control the messaging from Romney.Since

Democrats have their convention after Republicans, Obama will steal the momentum from Romney by announcing at the convention that he is replacing Biden with someone else.The MSM will do their part from this point.

One tantalizing tidbit is that Obama has given the Wednesday night VP speech slot to Bill Clinton, not Joe Biden. Reportedly, Clinton will be the one to formally place Obama's name into nomination. Could it also be the plan for Bill to announce that his wife will take Biden's place on the ticket?

If we’re lucky he’ll breitbart her, she’ll Vince Foster him, and if Boner loses, we’ll have the possibility of a non-rino speaker becoming president.

I hope not. We will lose for sure. The people of this country are crazy for her. The only ones sane and don’t like her are on Free Republic. The only way we could possibly win is if Romney (kicked to the curb)....ok that won’t happen, but Romney picks Palin and then we have a great chance to win.
