Sarah Palin told Obama to dump Joe Biden yesterday.
Barack Obama defended Joe Biden yesterday for his outrageous racial remarks. He also told reporters that he will keep Joe on the ticket despite calls (from Sarah Palin) to dump him. FOX News reported, via Free Republic:
President Obama defended Vice President Joe Biden on Wednesday against criticism of his remarks that Republican repeal of Wall Street regulations would put voters “back in chains.”
Obama also brushed off Sarah Palin’s suggestion on Fox News that he drop Biden from the ticket in favor of Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
Palin, the 2008 GOP vice presidential nominee and a Fox News contributor, had said Biden’s comments are the latest example of how he “really drags down that ticket.”
“If that’s not the nail in the coffin, really, the strategists there in the Obama campaign have got to look at a diplomatic way of replacing Joe Biden on the ticket with Hillary,” Palin said. “And I don’t want to throw out that suggestion and have them actually accept the suggestion because then an Obama-Hillary Clinton ticket would have a darn good chance of winning.”
But Obama, in an interview with “Entertainment Tonight,” downplayed Palin’s comments.
“We don’t spend a lot of time worrying about the chatter and the noise and this and that,” he said. “The country isn’t as divided with gaffes or some stray remark as Washington is. Most folks know that’s just sort of a WWF wrestling part of politics. It doesn’t mean anything, just fills up a lot of air time.”
He also said in an interview with People magazine that Biden’s remarks meant consumers would be worse off if Republicans succeeded in doing away with new restraints on financial institutions.
Palin is having a party in Obama’s head.
Strategery + Shardenfreuden = Stratenshardenfredery
Brilliant Sarah! Now if he acts it looks like Sarah is calling the shots—A new way will be needed to rid Biden from the ticket before the convention—and one that looks like its Biden’s idea (as if he ever had one). Hillary will put up the reluctant choice act—maybe turn it down once for the papers—before being talked into it by Bill or the powers that be. At that time—Obama will be doomed. Hillary will get him out! How? I do not know—a coup of major proportions will do it. Then it will be Hillary-Kerry ticket to re-energize the ticket that or a Kennedy. I have predicted this for some time.
“palin is much better for the cause as a kingmaker, than as a candidate.”
In your dreams, Karl Rove.
Guess you know nothing of her elections in Alaska.
Or her record managing her town and her state to fiscal, business, and private prosperity.
But hey, dream on, Karl. You and Steve Schmidt can ride your unicorns together.
“palin is much better for the cause as a kingmaker, than as a candidate.”
In short, that’s like saying that Tom Brady is much better for the Patriots as a color commentator than as the quarterback on the field.
no. i am saying that rush limbaugh would be a better color commentator that a quarterback.
Good One!
