Michelle would be great, Barack at this point is too polarizing to the Right, and to the Left. Maybe Michelle is too, but she is a woman of color that has wide appeal.
shareIsnt it enough already with the woman of color bs?
I know the US are racist, but can we stick to the best person for the job for once?
I named Obama because he has the greatest qualifications, not because he's black.
What are his wife's qualifications, other than being his wife?
Trump has proven beyond all doubt we do not need a qualified President, we need a leader, we need someone who the American people can relate to and like. First, Obama, like Bill Clinton is not liked that much in retrospect by all Democrats because he was more Conservative than most Republicans until the radical right took hold with Bush II.
I think Biden was a moron to announce he was going to pick a woman. It was just a stupid thing to do, and if he picks a woman of color it will lose him the election.
Michelle is well though of, well liked and just a better pick out of the women of color, which is the only reason I mentioned her.
Also ... why can't you right-wingers just say something without having to add on the end BS or some insult. The worst person for the job is Donald Trump, and he could actually win because of the stupidity of Democrats, and the collusion with Republicans of the Democratic establishment.
Me right winger?
I'm as right winger as Bill Maher. I'm just calling a spade a spade: picking a "woman of color" is straight up bullshit.
Like you mentioned, he should have said "I'm thinking of a name for my VP, anything is on the table, including so and so (who happen to be black women)". Not "I want a back woman". That is NOT a qualification, unless you are a racist/sexist of the worse kind.
So, I stand by my statement, it's BS.
More generally as a strategy, it's asking for trouble: Trump won because Hillary is a woman. No other reasons. Obama won because Palin was a stupid woman, if she was as stupid but male, McCain would have won it. Picking a woman is already risky against a liar scumbag like Trump, picking a black one is a great way to reopen a race that is already been called.
Trump is a disaster, anybody can see that, I cannot think of a worse president than him, but never underestimate the stupidity of voters.
Funny how Hillary isn't mentioned, even though Democrats insist she's not guilty.
shareUh no that would be horrible, why would anyone want Obama-Biden again?
shareMore than likely, this is unconstitutional.
The 12th Amendment to the Constitution states that "no person constitutionally ineligible to the office of President shall be eligible to that of Vice-President of the United States."
Because of the two-term limit imposed by the 22nd Amendment, Obama is constitutionally ineligible to be President, so, more than likely, he would also be barred from being Vice-President.
There are some that say there is a little wiggle room, as the 22nd Amendment says you can not be ELECTED President more than twice, but that has never been challenged, and would most likely need a Supreme Court decision that I don’t believe any candidate wants to get involved in.
So while this is a nice thought experiment, it will probably never happen.
Any communist will do just fine by Joe....He does know he’s running for President, right? Shouldn’t someone tell him....or at least what state he’s in????
shareBarack Obama is ineligible
Michelle Obama does not want to go into politics.
Speaking of which this thread should be placed on the politics board.
