Obama has 22 days to drop Biden from ticket
Image
President Barack Obama has slightly more than 22 days to drop Vice Presidential Joe Biden from the 2012 Democratic presidential ticket, according to lawyers familiar with the party nominating process. That is, Democrats have until September 6 to formally nominate their presidential ticket which will then be qualified for the 50 state ballots.
Biden Obama 3b edit1

And it is still possible for that ticket not to include the current vice president, Joe Biden.

"As a sitting president and vice president, Obama and Biden are both considered the Democrats' presumptive nominees and will not be the official nominees until after Charlotte," a lawyer familiar with the party nominating process tells me. "Each party has to file paperwork with each state once the candidates become official nominees. So it's still quite possible for Obama to drop Biden and replace him with someone else and pay no consequences with listing on ballots."

The nominating process will take place at the Democratic party convention in Charlotte, North Carolina, which is being held September 3-6.

Renewed speculation that Biden could be dropped from the ticket comes on the heels of yet another gaffe by the vice president. "They gonna put y'all back in chains," Biden said of the Republican candidates for president and vice president yesterday at a campaign stop. CNN reported that a senior adviser called Biden's comments "not helpful," and that "they believe the vice president has knocked them off track."

Is Today the Day?
Obama meets with Biden and Clinton in the Oval Office.
8:01 AM, Aug 16, 2012 • By DANIEL HALPER
Single Page Print Larger Text Smaller Text Alerts

Perhaps further fueling speculation that Barack Obama may replace Joe Biden on the Democratic presidential ticket with, say, Hillary Clinton, take a look at part of the president's schedule for today:
Biden at economic forum 2003 crop

10:15AM THE PRESIDENT and THE VICE PRESIDENT receive the Presidential Daily Briefing

Oval Office

Closed Press

10:45AM THE PRESIDENT and THE VICE PRESIDENT meet with Secretary of State Clinton

Oval Office

Closed Press

12:30PM THE PRESIDENT and THE VICE PRESIDENT meet for lunch

Private Dining Room

Closed Press
Will President Obama deliver the bad news to Biden at 10:15? And, in the 10:45 meeting, arrange the handoff to Hillary?

If so, there's a nice condolence lunch with Biden to make him feel better set for 12:30.

Axelrod: Biden “Wasn’t Making A Racial Comment” When He Told Largely Black Audience Romney Wanted To “Put Y’all Back In Chains”
Image
Reality begs to differ.

Quote:
Senior Obama adviser David Axelrod on Thursday dubbed Mitt Romney’s vice presidential pick an “ideologue” who “grew up in the think tanks of Washington” — and also said he supports his party’s number two in the wake of Vice President Joe Biden’s controversial “chains” comment.

Axelrod — who told MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” that he thinks Paul Ryan is “an affable guy, he’s a genial guy, he’s a good person” — said Romney’s selection has finally clarified the positions of the Republican ticket and made the election a stark contrast for voters in November. [...]

“He wasn’t making a racial comment, he was making a comment about the impact about rolling back all of White Street reforms on consumers, essentially rolling back what we’ve done and putting the burden back on consumers,” Axelrod said.

Black Pastor Who Gave Invocation Before Biden Speech Defends His “Chains” Comments, Says He Was “Giving The African American Community A Warning”
Image
Hack-tastic!
Quote:
DANVILLE, Va. — Biden’s visit to Danville is getting recognition for all the wrong reasons- because of something he said in his speech.

This was his statement:

“Romney wants to let the – he said in the first 100 days he’s going to let the big banks once again write their own rules. Unchain wall street. They’re going to put y’all back in chains,” Biden said.

Those comments triggered reaction from the Romney campaign who asked Biden and the Obama campaign to take the statement back.

This story also went viral around the world and graced the front page of many newspapers including some in our area.

The Danville pastor who gave the invocation before the speech said Biden’s words were taken out of context.

“He was giving the African American community and the poor people a warning that if we’re not careful and do no vote properly what could happen. That these chains could be placed back on us that President Obama had lifted off us by the bailouts and saving GM,” said Rev. William Avon Keen.

Awkward: Obama and Biden to meet with Hillary today
Image
Quote:
Amidst suggestions that President Obama to replace his gaffe-prone running mate Joe Biden, the pair is scheduled to meet with Secretary of State Hillary Clinton at the White House this morning.

No other details were released about the meeting which is closed to the press.

Later in the afternoon, Obama and Biden are scheduled to meet for lunch at the White House.

President Obama dismissed the notion last night in an interview with Entertainment Tonight.

“We don’t spend a lot of time worrying about the chatter and the noise and this and that,” he said, adding that “the country isn’t as divided with gaffes or some stray remark as Washington is.”

Biden Defends His Gaffes: “I Know I’m Criticized For Saying Exactly What I Mean — It’s Not Gonna Change”

Jesse Jackson: Joe Biden’s “Back In Chains” Rhetoric “Not Helpful”
Image
You know you screwed up when even Jesse Jackson can’t defend you.

Quote:
The Rev. Jesse Jackson on Thursday said that the flap over Vice President Joe Biden’s recent comments concerning Republicans putting people “back in chains” was “not helpful and a distraction from President Barack Obama’s message.”

“What I do know is, just address it forthrightly as overblown rhetoric that was not helpful and a distraction from President Barack Obama’s message,” Jackson said in an interview with POLITICO. “If the president has to reprimand him, that becomes a big issue, if he ignores it, that becomes a big issue. So we just make certain in these exchanges that none of the candidates use language that’s distracting from jobs, justice, education, health care and peace.”

Jackson, the influential civil rights leader, sat down in POLITICO’s office for a free-wheeling interview Thursday. He sharply criticized the state of the presidential campaign, slamming the election so far for lacking substance. In part, he said, that’s the fault of increasingly powerful super PACS.

Benched: Biden Sent Home To Delaware To Start Weekend Early
Image
No word yet if he was given a dunce cap for the ride home.

Quote:
Vice President Joe Biden is going home to Delaware.

The updated White House calendar for Aug. 17 reports that “in the morning, the Vice President will meet with senior advisers. Later, the Vice President will be in Wilmington, Delaware.”

“There are no public events scheduled,” said the 5:36 p.m. White House announcement, titled “Daily Guidance for the Vice President.”

Biden’s retreat home during the increasingly frenetic 2012 race comes amid increased criticism for his campaign-trail performance.

Biden was slated to share an uncomfortable lunch with President Barack Obama on Thursday, following his disastrous week on the campaign trail, which culminated with a racially inflammatory warning to African-American supporters that Mitt Romney will “put y’all back in chains.”

HILLARY SAID NO
Image
Quote:
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.

"As recently as a couple of weeks ago, the White House was putting out feelers to see if Hillary Clinton was interested in replacing Joe Biden on the ticket," Klein told Secrets. "Bill Clinton, I'm told, was urging his wife to accept the number two spot if it was formally offered. Bill sees the vice presidency as the perfect launching pad for Hillary to run for president in 2016."

He made similar comments Thursday night to CNBC's Larry Kudlow. The White House has dismissed speculation of a Clinton for Biden swap despite a string of recent gaffes by the vice president.

Yeah right, LOL
Quote:
Klein has been criticized for his biography of Hillary Clinton titled, The Truth About Hillary: What She Knew, When She Knew It, and How Far She'll Go to Become President, which was released on June 21, 2005. Politico criticized the book for "serious factual errors, truncated and distorted quotes and overall themes (that) don't gibe with any other serious accounts of Clinton's life."


Klein is a right wing lying asswipe.

Which is how you feel about anyone who does NOT share YOUR left wing asswipe vision of the world.

Far-Left Boston Globe Calls On Biden To Apologize For “Chains” Remarks
Image
Quote:
The Boston Globe is calling on Vice President Joe Biden to apologize for telling an audience at a campaign rally, made up largely of African Americans, that Republicans “want to put ya’ll back in chains.”

“[I]magine if Republican Paul Ryan uttered comments like that. Mitt Romney’s pick for vice president would be pilloried for racial insensitivity — and so would Romney,” the Globe’s editorial board wrote in today’s paper. “In the fight for civility and substance over pointless hyperbole, Biden may not be the worst offender. But he’s an offender nonetheless, and he should apologize.”
