Oh, I’ll bet they were. Say what you will about Axe, Gibbsy, and the rest of the crew, but I’d like to think they have the basic political common sense to avoid photo ops where the president has to skip out after a minute or two to go eat gingerbread cookies.

I’d like to think The One had the same basic political common sense, but … we learn something new every day, don’t we?

The leader of the free world and the ex-leader wandered a deserted hallway, past the offices of the senior advisers, only to discover the door to the press corps briefing room locked.

"when Congress has designated a person who is not eligible to hold the office President,"

What is the case (law?) if POTUS merely resigns?

[potlatch]

Thanks so much onyx! Glad you liked it.

[onyx]

You told the whole story....brilliantly.

[potlatch]

Thank you again!!

[Optimist]

Yep. Everybody but 0 remembers that BC is more of a BOXER rather than BRIEF kinda guy

[Optimist]

I’m ba-a-ck

[Optimist]

senate pres pro-tem is not in the line of succession:

President
Vice president (pres of senate)
Speaker of House
Sec of State
then a series of cabinet secretaries

>you actually have to work to get unemployment. Dumb0 hasn’t worked a full day in two years.

And if you haven't check out message 24 from Revolting Cat!.

• Arms Treaty Draws More GOP Votes -- President Barack Obama will delay his planned vacation in Hawaii until the Senate votes.

[GOPJ]

Do you have more?

[ForGod'sSake]

WT...???!!! Alls I can say is there's absolutely nothing that would surprise me about this administration. They have given new meaning to the overused term, clueless. Odinga and his merry band of thieves and miscreants are beneath garden variety contempt. Our own Pubbies are only marginally better. In any case I ain't gonna hold my breath waiting on this happy event. Biden may not be the hard core kommie variety from the odinga school but he don't know c'mere from sic 'em. Sortof an aside: IF odinga were to step down next week, look for the crash to follow soon on its heels. It would mean he knows something he ain't tellin'.

And thanks for the link.

[Revolting cat!]

Nope. Cousin’s gone silent, other family members have nothing from him either, and I’ve been probing. A mystery.

[True Republican Patriot]

Do You think Cousin was reading FR and saw your Post?

[MWestMom]

Clinton seemed far more informed than bama on the issues.

Didn’t he? Sad but true.

This is just one step in Obama keeping his end of the deal struck in that private meeting with Hilary before she withdrew in 08. She will be the dem candidate in 2012. No doubt about it now.

**********************

So ...

1) she called his BC as vapor
2) she offered to out him in 08, or let him have them helm for 2 years, and then abdicate with her as Sec State
3) Biden holds POTUS for a week or two
4) PRez Hillary

Right?

[ROTB]

Who would think he wasn’t smart enough to know better than to go on stage with Bill without a teleprompter?

******************

How did he ever make it through the debates with McCain?

she's a throw-back to the type of politician our country was blessed with in abundance, in its early decades.

Well put. Sarah is already as popular as Davey Crockett. She will be remembered as a quintessential American leader. Expect her bust to be added to Mt. McKinley.
