Actually I’ll take Biden with a smile. Compared to this idiot he is a far better choice and merely stupid, not wholly evil. Barry is evil. People like him are evil. Biden would be gridlocked for 2 years and thats the best we can hope for.
“Actually I’ll take Biden with a smile.”
I’m sure a lot of people would take Biden over Obama for 2 years. However, by putting Biden in that position, you boost his chances at winning the Presidency in 2016 significantly. An incumbent President running for office has an almost universal advantage, whereas a Vice President running to succeed their President does not. In that case, it’s a two-edged sword: they may get a boost if the previous President was popular, or a disadvantage if the previous President was unpopular.
Then, there is the problem that putting Biden in office potentially allows him to serve for 10 years. I, for one, don’t like that possibility one bit. 10 years is a whole lot of time to pack the Supreme Court, after all.
Also, you open up Republicans to attacks in the 2016 election with such a maneuver, but give them no actual political advantage. We’d just be damaging our chances all around with that move, and basically accomplishing nothing.
There’s even another nightmare scenario to consider: we remove Obama against Biden’s wishes, and Biden becomes President. He is then free to appoint anyone he wishes as Vice President. There is no obstruction to him simply appointing Obama as the Vice President, and then delegating all of the powers of the Presidency right back to Obama, either by resigning outright, or just taking a long vacation, hospital stay, or what have you. If they were really devious, they could leave Obama as Vice President until 2016, get Biden re-elected, and then Biden could resign and give Obama a third term!
At least we could laugh at Joe’s gaffes. Nothing about the Obama and his evil cabal is remotely funny.
