Could Hypothetically Joe Biden step down and Obama appoint Hilary as VP- or are there rules that would prevent that from happening? I think either Hillary or Obama would be much better than any one on the other side- would not be upset if Hilary was POTUS. Originally Posted by wellendowed1911What? No "Four more years"?
The 25th Amendment says that upon a VP vacancy, the President shall appoint a person to fill the office, the person must pass a majority vote of both the House and Senate.Ok thanks for pointing that out to me and if I am not mistaken- if God Forbid the President suffers some ill fate while in office- the next in line is obviously the VP- but if something were happened to both at the same time- it's the Speaker of the House that would assume the role of Presidency correct?
Ford was the first to be subjected to this. Originally Posted by Jackie S

I still am waiting on the explanation for Obama's books. Its one thing to fire from the cuff or in Obama's case, misread the teleprompter, but its another to publish, not in a contemporary blog mind you, but in a book, complete fabrications. Obama explicitly says in writing that his parents were inspired by an event that happened almost 8 years after his birth to conceive him. How is that not a gaffe that the media never called him on. At the badgering of a friend, who is also an economist, I actually read his first two books. The first was probably written by Bill Ayers. The second, which is poorly written IMO, was probably written by bo. Both are the works of unabashed socialists/marxists. If you haven't read them and want to read some scary sh*# if you are a capitalist, give them a whirl. I think you can get used ones on amazon for less than $2. Or check the stalls at the local homeless shelters where they put them to better use.
However, a gaffe and not knowing what the fuck you are talking about is two different things. Cain CLEARLY had no idea what the "Right to Return" was- which to me if you are running for President you have to know some Middle East history. When Cain was asked questions about name one regulation he would change- he couldn't name one- that's irresponsible and not being prepared,
For example, if I said :"some of the amendments in the constitution needs to be changed and then I was asked which ones- and I reply: "I can't tell you which ones but some of them need to be changed" would I not lose credibility?
Cain was simply stating "talking facts" without knowing the details of what he believes. Look at how he answered criticism to his 9-9-9 plan- his response in the debate was: "go to my webpage and look at the analysis" or "you are comparing apples to oranges" he simply doesn't have the skills to back up what he preaches.
If you think Cain did well in his interview with Spitzer you are being way too generous and are you telling me he wasn't flip flopping on his abortion stance? At this stage you can't keep going back and doing do- overs- he claimed he was misquoted on the Electric fence- he said he misunderstood the question about releasing terrorist to Al-Queada in exchange for a soldier- he clearly said it should not be the government telling people what to do concerning Abortion(the pro-choice) stance than says Abortion should NEVER happen. Cain is clueless! Originally Posted by wellendowed1911

The biggest question to ask for 2012, Will the media give Obama a pass and attack anyone else? He certainly got a pass in 2008. Now that he has a record, and a dismal one, will he get the same pass? Originally Posted by blue3122

He is the only one with a snowball's chance in hell of beating Obama in a head to head matchup!Actually, I think Huntsman would win in a runaway against Obama. But he doesn't have a snowball's chance in hell of getting the Republican nomination. He's smart, articulate, knowledgeable about international affairs, and is not a nut. Plus, unlike Romney, he hasn't taken two or three different positions on every issue under the sun.

I assure you I did not copy anything Trump said. Had I done that I would have attributed it to him. If we somehow managed to say the same thing, it was purely coincidental. That Obama's first book was written by Ayers was widely attributed and never contradicted in 2008 by either Ayers or Obama. I am not a book critic but I can read and comprehend that when Obama "wrote" something that was blatantly false (he did quite a bit of this), that it should have been called out by someone in the media. It wasn't. Go read for yourself and tell me if you don't find a lot of either inconsistencies or outright falsehoods depending on your slant. Originally Posted by blue3122Blue3122 that should scare you that you and Trump have said the same thing- recall this i a man(Trump) who made a fool out of himself saying he's got this team that discovered some "important" information on the Birthplace of Obama and then ended up with egg on his face. I will take you up on your offer and read those books and report back to you.

Actually if you do a modicum (that means "a token amount") of research, you will find out that Obama had a ghostwriter that was attributed as Ayers by several people. He did this because he was unable to finish the book and would have to return the $150,000 advance by Simon and Schuster. Its okay, Kennedy did not write his book either. But for those of us who have published it smacks of laziness, disorganization, and fraudulent.
Let's not forget the President who honored the Marine "corpse," or who honored those fallen soldiers "many of whom are present today." Those are not gaffes, those indicate ignorance. Originally Posted by CuteOldGuyOh please.
