An Obama VICE Presidency !! JUST Picture it !!!

[Laura PourMeADrink]

Hypothesizing - if HRC pulls a fast one and gets the nomination and
the presidency, what would Obama's role be like . :)

I can picture it now - and I'm not thinking it's Cheney-esque !

Can anyone imagine him actually being allowed to do anything? Not me.

He'll be relegated back to the ole state funeral attendee role.

I picture him lurking outside important meetings - wondering what the hell they're talking about,
not allowed in.

[SoFlaJet]

1. ain't never gonna happen

he'd be crazy to do it and then GO crazy standing behind BOTH Clintons

[lojasmo]

2. Hell noes. EOM

[MannyGoldstein]

3. Is There Some Context To This?

Why would he be veep? He has the nomination in hand.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

8. Just hypothesizing - if worse came to worse and Hillary stole

the nomination in some backroom deals and she took him as VP - what would that
be like.

[akbacchus_BC]

46. You should not be assuming, thank you. Just let us be positive, please! n/t

[Cali_Democrat]

9. Hillary suggesting after Ohio that Obama could be VP

First Bill called it an "unstoppable force."

Then Hillary was asked who should be at the top of the ticket and she said..."I know the people of Ohio want at the top."

[TheDoorbellRang]

10. It's the fantasyland some are trapped in

We see it surface when Hillary so graciously offers the VP position to the man she's losing to.

Or we see it when those too frightened of an AA man as president suggest Edwards or Gore should swoop in to be the white male saviors of the presidency and "let" Obama be the veep.

More than a little irritating...

[Laura PourMeADrink]

12. hello - this is a joke post - reread please. OP

[TheDoorbellRang]

44. I know you're joking, LauraPYB, but we've both seen the threads

that are seriously suggesting Obama should be someone else's veep. I wonder if the people posting them realize what it reveals about them.

Sorry you thought I meant you. I knew you were joking. :hi:

[Cali_Democrat]

4. Vice President?

No thanks :thumbsdown:



President Obama? :toast:

[cliffordu]

5. Rehab??

If I said that "obama as a vice president" out loud in my house my wife would shovel my ass back to rehab asap.

[SoFlaJet]

LOL

one day at a time Cliff, ODAAT

[cliffordu]

56. Just tryin' to Keep it simmple....

gonna have to do another fourth step, got me some powerful resentments around here.....

[SoFlaJet]

57. I got mine somewhat under control

the ignore feature is your friend Cliff-I have about 7 real friggin assholes on mine

[cliffordu]

59. I would bet you that they'd be the same 7 that would be on mine...

Maybe I will do just that......

:patriot:

[SoFlaJet]

60. some of the more radical versions of gender nazi-sm

they like to use the word "vile" a lot, and will actually TRY to get you banned-fuck them bro, they ain't renting space in my head-I already got a full house...

[CreekDog]

6. they'll start dispatching him to distant places

in creaky planes.

[Snarkoleptic]

7. In what insane scenario could the distant-second-place candidate

end up offering the VP slot to the clear front runner?

[gristy]

11. self-delete

not worth commenting here

[Laura PourMeADrink]

16. WHAT? no nice ? Bigot? what the hell are you talking about?

Could you actually, honestly seeing her relinquish any power? or position
him to look good?, or ready him to take over? not me.

[gristy]

20. I missed your "joke"

All I saw was a post about "exclusion"

[TheCowsCameHome]

13. Maybe he would come visit you at the loony bin.

[HockeyMom]

14. I will not vote for them

Sorry, no way.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

17. which part wouldn't you want?

[whistle]

15. Hey, John McSame could pick Dick Cheney to be his VP....

:shrug:

[DAGDA56]

18. It would look like one of those Bizzaro Superman comics, where...

....everybody has lines on their faces and has trouble with pronouns!

[MrSlayer]

19. They'd pat him on the head and put him on a shelf.

He would have no function at all. Good thing this is never going to happen.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

23. I wonder. Do you think he would accept it? I have never heard

anyone close to him say. Or - if it was stolen from him (prez) would
he just walk away? Bet there'd be a whole lot of pressure on him
to take it.

this is really just such a doomsday scenario to even think about, isn't it?

what chaos

[TahitiNut]

41. He'd be lucky to be given office space in D.C ... even SE D.C.

Hillary'd invent the "back of the bus" and "under the bus" Executive Branch.

[akbacchus_BC]

47. Could not agree with you more, she would isolate him that he would be disfigured for like!

I hope that Obama never accepts the VP position even if the SDs give Hillary the nod.

[AllentownJake]

21. He won't do it

Why leave your spot in the Senate where you can propose your agenda at will and speak out for what you believe to become VP. Most VPs don't become Presidents.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

25. Have you actually heard anyone close to him say that? It would

probably be difficult - on one hand everyone would be saying -it;s the
only way the dems would win, and good of the party stuff. On the
other hand - it would almost seem so demeaning - especially if he
won more votes.

[AllentownJake]

27. She would publicly offer it to him

and he would say that he respects her and thinks she would make a great President however he feels he would better serve the country as a Senator...than it would die.

[Catherina]

22. He might be allowed to drive Miz Hillary to photo ops

[Laura PourMeADrink]

26. that's funny, I don't care who you are.

[Catherina]

34. Funny but sad

I don't want her or Bill anywhere near the White House again

:hi:

[Laura PourMeADrink]

36. me either. I do believe though that she is a good policy wonk -

but policy wonk without the ability to promote agendas means nothing.

[akbacchus_BC]

48. Driving Miss Daisy!

[sudopod]

24. HEY LOOK!

Things that aren't going to happen. :D

[Laura PourMeADrink]

28. You know, I really am optimistic - and I don't think it will happen but

if that so obviously true - what the hell is she still doing in the race?

[Laura PourMeADrink]

AND she supposedly has some tricks up her sleeve - in the credentials

or rules committee.

[Buzz Clik]

29. Hillary would find a way to get him impeached.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

31. use him to get in the WH and then throw him away.

[TheDonkey]

30. huh??

[barack the house]

32. I think he would just return to the senate. A logical move.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

35. but can even imagine what kind of pressure he'd be under? If it's

apparent he got hoodwinked out of nomination - there are going to
be a whole hell of a lot of people pissed off - people needed
to beat McPain.

[depakid]

33. As long as we're in the world of fantasy, a Gore/Obama ticket would be tough to beat

Hillary and Obama together just gives us the worst of both worlds.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

37. I can't believe what a fan I have become - I actually would now

pick O over Gore. Especially since I'm reading his book.

[WeDidIt]

38. Why would Obama want to be Gored?

Look at what the Clintons did to Al for your answer.

[newmajority]

39. Well, since this is a joke thread, I'll just say two words

Chris Rock.

(And if I have to explain what I mean by that, you probably wouldn't get the joke anyway) :evilgrin:

[kwenu]

40. Again...Just say "NO" to crack cocaine people. It's burning up your brain cells.

[RainDog]

42. If she "pulls a fast one" I will not vote this election

and I will leave the democratic party. If she wins fairly, that's one thing. If she goes for the "nuclear option" then I have no more use for a party that would put up with this. I won't vote for McCain, obviously. I will vote 3rd party. This is no threat. This is the last straw for me.

the democrats haven't exactly been the most representative party over the last two years anyway, have they? this would truly be the irony. The DLC kills the democratic party just as the Republican party is at its weakest in years.

[akbacchus_BC]

49. Ah, you can threaten to not vote, but let me remind you that Hillary will

be better than mccain, another four years of bush rule will cripple the world. When you guys sneeze, people in the third world have the shits (cannot be bothered to be political correct right now, am mad). If Obama was currently in Hillary's position, all of America would have been calling for him to step down, the hypocrisy knows no bounds. I just wish Richardson or Edwards had hung in, but the MSM told you all that it is Hillary's turn! Presidency is not a turn, one has to show capability and she is hanging on her husband's coattails! end of rant

[RainDog]

55. you're wrong about me

I have now lived through DLC bullshit in 2000, 2004 and 2006. There comes a moment when you say "enough." This is that moment for me. If the DLC pulls this "legalistic coup" I will support a third party candedate or I will not vote for a presidential candidate.

And it won't be just me. Such an action will split the democratic party. There is no doubt in my mind about this one. (see above if you want to know why this would be the last straw.) I have called for unity. That is not the same as submission to DLC demands. They will be the ones who will cripple the world because Hillary is detested by more than 50% of the U.S. population... and many of those are liberals.

The U.S. economy is already in the shitter. The rest of the world should recognize that those nations with the most natural oil reserves are the ones that will be giving them the shits for years to come.

[totodeinhere]

43. Why do we have to keep hearing this BS about Obama for VP?

Joke or not, it's not cool.

[akbacchus_BC]

45. Are you psychic or what? Bill will be the VP, Barack would be wondering

what was he thinking to accept VP position. I just wish he will never accept VP position even if by hook or crook Hillary gets the nomination. As far as I can see, he will be our nominee but crap happens sometimes! Am not god fearing so I won't pray to God for him to be the nominee, he will be on his own strengths as opposed to someone riding on her hubby's coattails! Enough with the dynasty, it's America not the UK. This long drawn out primary is really get to some of us nerves, I haven't lost my cool yet, but am on the brink. Peace

[mac2]

50. Nooooo. I can't face it.

Globalists as President. Either of them after fighting for a Progressive agenda all these years.

All the meetings will be secret since he belongs to the CFR, etc.

[MADem]

51. She's already said WJC won't be in the WEST WING. I think, IF that happened,

that BHO would have a full role. He might be tasked with wide swathes of the domestic agenda, with gradual forays into international issues as he gained experience.

I suspect she'd ALWAYS "run some shit by Bill" after work, but he wouldn't be "in the room" all the time. She'll use him like he used her--as a sounding board, as a second-guesser, as a new set of eyes.

If they all were able to get along, they'd do business as a troika every so often, just as HRC, WJC, and AAGJr. did on the odd occasion.

[TBF]

52. I hope he holds back until 2012. I'm not voting for her no matter who is her vp.

[FrenchieCat]

53. I will not.

[book_worm]

54. I don't think Obama would ever take VP with Hillary.

[ecstatic]

58. Bill and Hillary would have all the say. Obama would be treated like the help nt
