Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was pressed by her husband and a top Obama aide to consider replacing Vice President Joe Biden just a couple of weeks ago, claims the author of the New York Times bestseller "The Amateur."

But Clinton, exhausted from four years of international travel and diplomacy, shrugged off the suggestion to lay the groundwork for her own 2016 bid with her husband at her side, according to author Ed Klein.

No, I believe that she would have accepted the appointment then "The 0bama" would have been found dead in Fort Marcy Park.

Hillary really does not want the job specially since Obama did so much to ruin everything Bill set up. She is much smarter than that.

Simple, She feels he will lose even if she was named. You normally don't become President on the next election from a losing ticket.

The people probably do not want a 2d Clinton.
Consider her age.
Why be damned just to be associated with 4 more years of Obama.

Besides, she can make some real money as a civilian.

She would have a chance in 2016 running against a Romney re-election, but never as the left over from 8 years of Obama. She would not stand an ice cubes chance in hell. So she will take the better chance.

I believe so. Although I don't think she has a chance after trying to sabotage our 2nd Amendment rights through her treaty with the United Nations. I couldn't possibly vote for her and I was a supporter for years. Strange bedfellows seems to bring out the worst in people.

Who cares - her chances are toast.
Nobody wants a different, more moderate level of democrap corruption back in the White House.
The same, but different.

It is a definite possibility but I think that if Chelsea has children before then, Hilary will retire from pubic view and enjoy her grandchild.

Sounds possible, she was pretty revved up about the idea once before. But then I have to think about all the times I've read and heard she (and Bill) basically don't like Obama. So that could be a reason. But then, of course, I don't know.

No you can bet it's more payback at this time after what he did to her in 08 and all other women. Talk about a "war on women" Did all you ladies forget what the Dems did to you with the bus and all????

She hasn't refused.

It ain't over til it's over.

Bill thinks she's running. Why else would he be carrying O's water and yessir-ing him?

No doubt in my mind. Bill wants back in the WH so bad he can taste it. But we have to get Obama out and keep her from getting in. She's another Obama... she just has a smarter spouse than Barry does.

If she does join the ticket, Obama better really watch his back. The Clintons have left a lot of bodies in their wake.

She won't be on this one, so Obama is safe. And that's probably why he won't put her on the ticket. He wants to live and enjoy all of the money his corrupt dealings in the WH have gained him.

Don't know but with Obama-care AND Hillary-care....we can just line all the unproductive elderly in firing squads and you could steal all the medicare funding without a complaint. And when the health care rationing starts, just don't get a fast growing cancer or by the time you get in to see the doctor, he can measure you for a box.

It is likely Biden has been diagnosed with a form of dementia by now, possibly Alzheimer's disease. The reason I say this is that a meeting between 0bama, Biden, and Hillary did take place. There had to be a face-saving reason given among them to openly discuss Biden's replacement. (The old "family obligation, too many demands on my time, I've got a sick dog at home" excuse is a recognized invalid cliche.)

I don't know, but she would be no more effective in deflecting and stopping
any of his radical policies than she was as SOS. I like to think that both she and
Gates were in the administration to put the brakes on his most radical policies.....
And to tip the scale from Valerie Jarrett's influence stopping in things like going after UBS.

I don't believe that at all.

Look at the total picture. Sarah Palin recommends that Obama drop Biden and replace him with Hillary. The very next day, they announce Biden is staying but being sent to his room in Delaware for some Time out.

The truth of the matter is Obama has taken Sarah Palin's advice. But he can't admit that so now they have to come up with a cover story.

Imagine if the publice were to realize the Obama was taking advice from Obama.

Haha. They can make fun of Palin all they want. But she just won another victory by denying Obama a stronger VP.

Just because the lying White house said she did does not really mean it is true! So quit acting like the statements are! Wait until after the Convention to start asking these types of questions!
