While campaigning in Iowa, Joe Biden was asked if he would consider nominating Barack Obama to the Supreme Court.
I guess it was a serious question, and Joe Biden actually responded: "if he'd take it."
Wall Street Journal reporter Ken Thomas was the first to report this exchange on Twitter.

Biden asked here in Washington, Iowa, if he would ever nominate former President Obama to serve on the Supreme Court. “If he’d take it, yes,” Biden says.

Biden has never missed an opportunity to namedrop Barack Obama and remind voters he was Obama's vice-president. Biden has even claimed he specifically asked Obama not to endorse him—no one really believes that, but it's still something he says. Earlier this month he even claimed, “I don’t need an Obama endorsement.” If you look at national polls, this is arguably true. He's the frontrunner nationally, but he's struggling in some of the early voting states like Iowa and New Hampshire to take the lead there. Losses in those states might make it difficult for him to win Nevada and South Carolina, where his lead has been cut into significantly.
But, let's get back to the absurd idea of Barack Obama on the Supreme Court. Obama is about as qualified to be on the Supreme Court as I am to be an astronaut.
Obama often talks about him being a constitutional law professor, but, as president, he repeatedly exceeded his constitutional authority. There are many examples of Obama flouting the Constitution. Most involve his inclination to bypass Congress to legislate via executive action. But the most significant example of Obama's lack of constitutional aptitude is how he was repeatedly rebuked by the Supreme Court .

BS..... Barbra Streisand
LOL! Hey, LOOTER/GROPER/SNIFFER...now we know where Hunter got it from.
He would not be interested because it would involve working.
Bump! :^)
The MOF. Wouldn’t have one. It is meaningless.
Looks like it came from the Grand Duchy of Fenwick or something. It has been desecrated now.
The highest dollar campaign donors often get the highest status awards and medals. Barbara was likely not interested in any Ambassadorship, where she’d have to leave her five house compound estate in Malibu.
Isn’t it considered a “corrupt bargain” to offer specific appointments in exchange for political support? Sure quids pro quo happen with a wink and a nudge in private, but not as a public statement. Granted, Biden just answered a question out of the blue, but a candidate free of stupidity and hubris would have said, “that’s an interesting thought; Obama would make a fine SC justice” or some such drivel.
“Typical banana republic behavior.”
BANANA REPUBLIC politics with nukes to back up threats.

A CRIMINAL STATE curtain has descended on the republic. Feel it? See it?
“in order to form a more perfect union”
WTF
So Obama is openly stabbing Joe in the back by endorsing Liz Warren vs Joe, his former VP. Meanwhile Joe, continues to
kiss Obama’s behind as a way to win over black voters.
“...fairytale ...”
Yeah, maybe it is a fairytale, but these assholes always seem to make fairytales happen, to the detriment of the rest of the the Country.
Up to us to introduce them to hard reality.
Oddly enough, Obama would be considered too far right for todays Democrat Party.
I suppose that is possible.
Ruthie Ginsberg has managed to work full time from her death bed. I suppose Hussein can do the same from his jail cell. Chief Roberts doesn't seem to mind.
Definite signs of Biden’s EARLY ONSET ALZHEIMER’S.
You make a great point, he should have answered with more tact as you suggested.
Isn’t it fortunate that to us regular deplorable real people, who made and make the Country work, a “promise” such as that is comparable to a turd in the punchbowl to Emily Post or Amy Vanderbilt. I pray they never wise up.
Still waiting for that endorsement, Joe?
