Obama sings: Fulfilling the good book?

Posted By Thomas E. Ricks Wednesday, January 25, 2012 - 9:33 AM Share

The other day President Obama did a pretty good one-line imitation of Al Green. As it happens, the next day, I read this in Judges 5:12: ". . . awake, awake, utter a song: arise, Barak."

I wonder if the hidden message is that he will oust Biden as his VP and replace him with Hillary.

This might help...

Hmm... I have heard this possibility a few times recently and while I obviously have no idea whether or not it will happen I do find it interesting.

Biden has really remained for the most part in the background, not to steal any thunder from President Obama. I do not think that if Hillary took his spot she would be quite as happy to follow in Biden's footsteps.

Hillary comes across as being more dynamic and I think would be more in the forefront, advocating for the issues she believes in.

Also, I think that this would also help Obama get elected again. While the Republicans are bringing their lead man in line during the primaries I can see where an Obama/Hillary campaign could be advantageous indeed. Maybe detoxing the VP out of the picture will help?

Nay,

Let Barack mount his unruly steed (Ehud) Barak and soar heavenwards. Forever. Two for the price of one.

VP Change

If Pres. Obama wants to make a change at VP and shore up his base and also doesn't want to deal with the Clinton soap-opera, then a left-field pick could be Elizabeth Warren.
I know, imagine the republican reaction but if the President is serious about his agenda of making America a more equal country then Mrs. Warren could be a very articulate and passionate supporter of that and she has shown herself to be willing to challenge the various Republican hypocracies they espouse. Plus Wall Street will be delighted !!!!!

Been predicting this for a long time...

Since POTUS has nothing else to run on, making history with Hillary would provide major pop going into the Democrat convention this summer. Biden could get the job he's always wanted at State (or be told to just go home). Yes, he'd also be taking on the other Clinton, but POTUS has nothing to lose and needs a Hail Mary play to be reelected.

So much for that theory...

Hillary is out, or will be...
