Hillary for Vice President?
Wall Street Journal ^ | 8/10/10 | JOHN FUND

As President Obama sinks in the polls, Democrats and liberal pundits inevitably are searching for a scapegoat. The most likely victim appears to be gaffe-prone Vice President Joe Biden, who has become the focus of speculation that Secretary of State Hillary Clinton just might replace him on the 2012 Democratic ticket.

Former Virginia Gov. Doug Wilder, his state's first African-American governor, touched off the controversy. Writing at Politico.com last week, Mr. Wilder argued that Mr. Biden's tenure has been undistinguished and chock full of "too many YouTube moments." He charged that Mr. Biden "has continued to undermine what little confidence the public may have had in him."....

I think it’s more likely that Obama will not be the candidate in 2012.

Hmmm. I wonder if this trial balloon is being floated by undercover Obamists to try to head off a primary challenge by Hillary in 2012, assuming Barry's numbers are in the 30’s or worse by then?

How sad to make Biden a scapegoat. Sure, he’s a yutz, but he has nothing to do with why Obama is failing. Obama is doing that nicely all by himself.

I was speculating with another FReeper on this just the other day.

One term may have been the plan all along. Get tossed in 2012. Dump Michelle in 2013. Get paid 10 Million a volume for "My Life As the First Black President", then hit the lecture circuit to do what he does best - get paid 100K a pop for reading a teleprompter to adoring masses.

'Twould be a pretty good life, I'd think, IF I were a scumbag politician.

She’s really quite the gangster when you think about it. I bet she’s incensed at how Obama is ruining the country. And the Democrats need Obama ousted or he’ll be impeached and the Dems ruined for decades.
