Obama-Clinton, a hate-filled dream ticket

The Times of London ^ | May 4, 2008 | Andrew Sullivan

[1066AD]

Never happen. Hillary is on the rise. She won't be #2 to anyone.

[no dems]

I’m not so sure that Hillary would take the #2 spot. I think she would rather pray for Obama to lose on November 4th and on November 5th, she’d start running for the Dem nomination in 2012.

Secondly, as the article states, she and Bill would take all the joy out of his Presidency by being two control freaks who think they should be in the Oval Office instead of the Black kid. His life would be miserable.

[Mrs_Stokke]

I think we need to start a pool. I'll bet $10.00 on "impeach."

An impeached black president is better than a dead black president -- Obama would be a martyr, much like the Sainted John Kennedy. Hillary will not allow Obama to be loved more than she. She'll disgrace him, not martyr him.

“Rove once called the idea of a McCain-Huckabee ticket “double trouble”, because you’d get the negatives of both men [man/woman] working against the vote....”

You got that right !...together on the same ticket, that would be a toxic combination...like making a kool aid then watching it smoke ?!

[ApplegateRanch]

Obama-Clinton ensures a Clinton presidency over Obama’s dead body.

[Atchafalaya]

I think he busted one with this swill.

They'd never do it unless he were caught in bed with a dead girl or a dead boy. The black vote is just too important to Democrat electoral prospects.

But even if they did impeach him, hey, impeachment is no big deal. Why, consider these two crooks:

The grinning dude on the left is Alcee Hastings, who now sits in the House of Representatives (representing Florida's 23rd District), after that same body impeached him 413-3 for bribery and perjury as a federal judge. And the guy on the right is Marion Barry, the second and fourth mayor of DC, having done a stint in the can in between mayoralties.

I defer to nobody in my contempt and suspicion of the Clintons.

I think the lady doth protest too much.

[prophetic]

I love to see these snakes eating each other.

Let God arise and his enemies be scattered!!

[JavaJumpy]

Strickland strongly supports Hillary. In the primary, Obama only carried five of the 88 counties.

[goldstategop]

A team of the two biggest losers in American history who bring major negatives with them to the general election. Yeah - by all means, let's have some more of those two. We haven't had enough of Hillary and Obama this year.

Perhaps Rush should try to plan to diffuse a possible Obama / Clinton ticket in Operation Chaos, possibly renaming it Operation Double Chaos.

[Luke21]

Hillary will win. BHO will accept the number two spot. McCain will be picked and plowed under like a corn field.

[Soliton]

I have made the exact same argument on here for weeks. This is the probable result of Operation Chaos. By keeping Hillary close, she gets the VP slot and there is no longer a rift in the party. They would wipe the floor with McCain.

This poor schmo of an author is a Democrat. He doesn’t understand the physical jeopardy that Obama would be in with Hillary as VP. Hillary’s people would be ready day-one, to dig up impeachable offenses against BO too.

[Gorzaloon]

Remember Kennedy-Johnson? They too loathed each other and cast extremely different shadows in American public life.

Oh, we sure do.

Kennedy was killed and Johnson became a bad president.

[Caipirabob]

The two pals I have at work who are an authorities on "being black" both hate Hillary Clinton. One is an Obama supporter and the other is quiet on who he supports (he's literally a genius and tries to avoid politics.) They've both made it clear they wouldn't support her, although I think the former would vote for Obama with her as Veep. The other, who is both peer and professor to me, just seems disgusted by the whole thing.

[romanesq]

Rooting, praying interest for the Rats. Sullivan wants to unite the venom of two snakes to save the snake.

Isn’t going to happen. Obama would have to be out of his mind and Shrillary has no intention of sitting around in a VP office.

Zero.

[skipper18]

You should read his blog, he despises the Clintons.

It’s like a 1-man FreeRepublic he’s got going on over there.

[iopscusa]

Andrew Sullivan’s a huge victim of the brain rot of amoral hedonism...whatever he says bears very little on reality...the guy is a freak and a clown, I don’t understand why anyone would pay him any attention!?!

[ripley]

“a hate-filled dream ticket.”

an ambiguous title. is it the hate they have for each other or the abhorrence they both have for the system they’re seeking to undermine.

they both have a retinue of socialist thugs waiting in the wings to worm away at the constitution and make it seem useless and out-of-date.

an appropriate title no matter how it’s taken.

imho
