Woodward: Obama-Clinton Ticket Is ‘On the Table’

Bob Woodward is making the case to CNN’s John King:

“President Obama needs some of the women, Latinos, retirees that she did so well with during the [2008] primaries and, so they switch jobs, not out of the question, and the other interesting question is, Hillary Clinton could run in her own right in 2016 and be younger than Ronald Reagan when he was elected president.”

    The only reason Obama would put Hillary on the ticket is so she will not run against him. I think she will still run against him. Her ego is bigger then his.

    I’ve been saying for some time that Biden was suddenly going to decide (be convinced) that he’s not going to go along for the 2012 ride. I‘m sure he’s already had a visit by more than one Chicago thug to help him make up his mind.
    And how and why does Hillary Clinton EVER expect to be taken seriously in her own right as long as she keeps hanging out with this loser? She should have kept her Senate seat but instead she apparently has no problem letting NObama pimp her out. They are all so pathetic.

    It made more sense for Obama to nominate Hillary to the SCOTUS instead of Sotomayor or Kagan. It would have removed the Clinton thorn from Obama’s side. She (Hillary) would be on the court for life, and out of his, politically speaking that is. I just don’t see an Obama-Clinton ticket in 2012. But, the more I think of it, the VP has virtually no influence and if Obama is re-elected (I hope not) he can keep closer tabs on her. I think Hillary is too smart to settle for VP.

    Nothing will get Obama re-elected, Clinton or no Clinton. She has supported his anti-American – Socialist agenda, and that’s a serious offense. Clinton‘s performance as Secretary of State hasn’t been one to brag about. Her melt-downs aren’t pretty. She should call it quits and hope she’ll be a grand-ma. We’ve seen enough, if not too much of the Clinton’s.

    Palin did have an edge over Clinton in regards to experience 2008. Secretary of State holds a lot more exprerience now. However, many of the Democrat professional (white) ladies have gone over to the Tea Party. Remember, this Barack guy would have been fetching them coffee. I don’t see Obama-Clinton teaming up. Clinton will be calling the shot, Mrs O will not take to it.

    Makes sense. Better to be Sec’y of State for 4 years and VP for 4, rather than Sec’y of State for 4 years and then nothing. The question is how many male independents does Obama lose for every women, Latino’s and retirees he picks up. Clinton remains pretty polarizing, despite a solid record as Senator and Sec’y of State.

      Most women hate Hillary, that was why she lost the primary. They think she kowtowed to Bill during Monica-gate and only stayed in the White House for her career (which is true).

      Plus she totally blew it by self-identifying as an “Old-world Progressive” during the last promary season. There is no worse thing in politics now. The independents are rightly scared to death of “progressives” now.

      I say “bring it on!” – Obama will look like a traitor to the working stiff union man if he ditches Biden, and that is the only non-ethnic vote Obama has left. The ethnics have no love for Hillary.

      If Obama is going to ditch Biden it will be for a fresh Hispanic face – not for a proven loser like Hillary.

      Emotions all up and down
      I, in my bathrobe
      With a cat in my lap
      Had cut off the TV
      tired of political clap-trap
      When all of a sudden

      I peered out my window
      Saw Obama and his boys
      They had come for my wallet
      They wanted my pay
      To give to the others
      Who had not worked a day!
      He snatched up my money
      And quick as a wink
      Jumped back on his bandwagon
      As I gagged from the stink
      He then rallied his henchmen
      Who were pulling his cart
      I could tell they were out
      To tear my country apart!
      ‘On Fannie, on Freddie,
      On Biden and Ayers!
      On Acorn on Pelosi’
      He screamed at the pairs!
      They took off for his cause
      And as they flew out of sight
      I heard him laugh at the nation
      Who wouldn’t stand up and fight!
      So I leave you to think
      On this one final note – IF YOU DON’T WANT SOCIALISM GET OUT AND VOTE!!!!
