Clinton: ‘Absolutely No Interest’ in VP Job

Sec. of State Hillary Clinton did her best to silence rumors that her and Vice President Joe Biden could switch roles on President Obama’s 2012 ticket.

Speaking at Fortune magazine’s “Most Powerful Women” summit, she denied any interest in the swap:

I think the Vice President is doing a wonderful job. He’s a great friend of mine. We work closely. He’s an expert on foreign policy. I have absolutely no interest and no reason for doing anything other than dismissing these stories and moving on. We have so much to do and I think we’re both happy.

    The feeling is mutual, Hil. We have no interest in you taking the job either. Old Biden is a buffoon but at least he’s not a Saul Alinsky Marxist. One in the White House is one too many!

    Seems they had a plan/agreement from the day Hilary stepped out of the 2008 race. Obama rams as much through as possible, then steps aside for the more “moderate” Hillary in 2012. The dems will be so happy to be rid of the liberal Obama, they’ll gladly vote for their beloved Hilary. Obama has said from the beginning he’d be happy to be a one term president.

    Of couse she is friends with Biden, they are both socialists. Its really something how both Clintons have been investigated for things in the past, things that would easily cloud one’s resume but yet she is given the Secretary of State job. In Washington it seems corruption means nothing! Of course the whole country knows how Bill’s lied to American and on tv saying “read my lips, I did not have sex with that woman”. And in the Oral, I mean the Oval office. What a guy, yet liberal progressives line up to pay to have dinner with this jackass. What a country, what a government. Boy does Washington ever need to be cleansed of all the filth and trash that inhabits our hallowed and sacred buildings. These people of no moral fiber or character have absolutely no shame whatsoever. 2 November these traitors to America are going to see a lot of pink slips heading their way. God bless this Christian Nation. America has finally arisen from its slumber and we will REMEMBER IN NOVEMBER!

      Oh, she’s only friends with Biden because their both socialist? I see. She couldn’t be friends with Biden regardless of their politics? Just to refresh your memory,, she & Bill have known Biden since at least 1992 (going on 20 years), & she did interface with him in the Senate. Think that might have something to do with their friendship? Many members with opposing politics are friends outside of Congress. Oiy!

    A Communist Hilary Clinton has other plans. It was a token offer by the offended and suffering Obama to steer her away from his desk, in the oval office. She’s too smart and crooked at the same time to take the bait. She has other plans and it has nothing to do with Obama.

    Let me state this clearly before I proceed: I don’t like her, don’t trust her, she’s a velvet wrapped ham-fisted progressive, self serving, uppity, closet socialist who has poor decision-making skills [not fleeing her skirt chasing husband.]
    That being said- I feel bad for her. Ever since she was made Sec of state she looks like hell. She spends all her time overseas cleaning up one Obama/Biden gaffe after another. I was disgusted how the lame-stream dropped her like a hot potato when Obama hit the scene during her run for the White House…after they presented her to the public as answer to the nefarious Bush/Cheney since 2004. Every frikken day since 2004 until she conceded the primary it was non-stop Hillaryvision. I guess Ethnicity trumps Female in the victimology game.
    I just wish she would retire to Fantasy Island with the other washed up socialist fantasists.

    Clinton is only responding to current polls. She knows that if she wanted to have even an inkling of a chance for future public office of any sort, after midterms, she would have to abandon her “progressive ideologies and actions” and convince the American People that she is a ‘true conservative’.

    Well, that is kinda like…

    Mrs. Clinton has always been adamant that she is not interested in the number two position. She has said this before. She is extremely politically savvy, and I find it hard to believe she would attach herself to political nuclear annihilation by accepting the VP position in this administration. I am no fan of Hillary’s, but I do think she is too intelligent to accept such a position.

    Well, Biden should have been made Secretary of State then. Hillasry needs an Office or position so that she can have her own personal Pension….in case she bails out on Bill.

    Bill and Obama may be competing for a High United Nations position. Hillary is much smarter than Bill, I think.

    There’s just too much going on in the background with these people, and besides they have “the goods” on each other.

    Obama, Biden, and Hillary will do what George Soros tells them what to do.

    Here is the REAL story for any journalist or blogger willing to write it:

    I find it interesting that as soon as this info was ‘leaked’, that it didn‘t seem AT ALL the ’sting’ to us conservatives, that IT ONCE WOULD HAVE HELD!

    There is a CHANGE that has occured. I am NOT saying that if she is on the ticket with him, that the conservatives won’t have their work cut out for the election….it will be a fight no matter who is on the ticket (if there is actually an election, and Barry doesn’t have us under martial law), BUT

    There evil controlling power, seems to have been exposed, uncovered, and diminished overall. There was a day when I would have FEARED what an Obama/Hillary ticket would have done. Now, honestly I can say, it seems like a non-issue.

    Also, the way Bill has been spinning for Barry the last month…..it’s OBVIOUS there HAS BEEN a deal brokered……they are probably gonna try putting here on the ticket, but in the end it will only work against them.

    If we continue to passionately do the right things for our nation, we will watch the defeat of both evil politicians.

      In a shocking display of hypocrisy, President Barack Obama today said not a damn thing about an attack on Christian sensitivities and symbols that is taking place in Loveland, Colorado.

      An art exhibit that critics say features Jesus receiving oral sex from a man is under fire in Loveland, CO. The artwork is part of an exhibit in the city’s public museum.

      “It is visual profanity,” said art gallery owner Linda King, in an interview with the Loveland Reporter-Herald. “It disgraces the God of all creation.”

      The controversial artwork is part of 10-artist exhibit called, “The Legend of Bud Shark and His Indelible Ink.” The lithograph showing the son of God engaged in a sex act is called, “The Misadventures of the Romantic Cannibals,” and was created by Stanford University professor Enrique Chagoya.

      His exhibit also includes Mexican pornography, Mayan symbols and ethnic stereotypes, according to the Associated Press. But it’s a 12-panel lithograph that appears to depict Jesus Christ in a sex act that has locals enraged.

      This exhibit is taking place in a public museum, funded by taxpayer dollars. Unlike a threatened Quran burning, this incident of religious hatred has been ignored by the mainstream media, liberal religious groups, opinion leaders, and public office holders everywhere. While threatening to destroy one‘s own property to express one’s contempt for another faith (so long as that faith is Islam) will evoke howls of outrage from across the spectrum and denunciations of the act as “unAmerican”, a taxpayer-funded insult of the beliefs of a majority of Americans regarding the Son of God is treated as business as usual and a celebration of American freedom.

      Of course, there is a way to get this exhibit shut down immediately, the artwork destroyed, and the artist killed. Point out that the following is a part of the same work of art. (They seem to have scrubbed the site — check it out here.)

      ==========

      Pass this one on… Are the anti-Jesus Artists going to back down when muslims hear about this?

      Funny,but the Dem crooks will pad their outlaw resume’s by going on bigger crime sprees knowing full well the expected pardons are “get out of jail” cards.
