That was really funny!
But they left Jimmy Carter off! Obama needs the extra baggage to fill out his empty suit.

The link still works 2HOW try something along the lines of: Barack Obama Vice Presidential choices bottom ten and you might find it.
That was great Haz definitely worth watching, but I can't help but wonder if this is some subtle way of the media trying to tell Obama something. I also notice Jimmy Carter's absence, but then I guess the MSM thought that would be like the school bully picking on the mentally disabled.
Wait, where was Al Gore?

Left off Boxer, Fienstein and Pelosie. All scary...very scary.
To liberals those are not bad choices :-\ Actualy carter (That terrorist loving POS) is a more likely choice than Clinton, Bill CANNOT take the job because if B ho dies in office Bill would be in violation of the 2 term limit.

That brings up a good question. Can a ex-President, who was in office for two consecutive terms, run again after not being President for a term or more? I always thought that since the third and possibly fourth terms wern't consecutive with the first two, it was legal. Does anyone have a legitamite source that sites it one way or another?

William Jefferson Clinton cannot serve another term as President (thank you baby Jesus). Only two terms.

Virginia Senator Jim Webb D-Va. Didn't he say he would have liked to slug Pres. Bush?, might have been somebody else,,
classy guy (heavy sarcasm added). He is on the "short list" according to a PMSNBC's talking head.

Came about a couple years after FDR with the 22nd Amendment.
You damn right. I love how the left goes on and on about how great FDR was when he was really nothing more then a communist in American clothing. My rebuttal is always this: "If he was so freaking wonderful, then why did we have to amend our constitution after FDR? There is a reason that so many wanted term limits for presidents after that guy had his turn in the oval office!"

22nd Amendment Section 1. No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice, and no person who has held the office of President, or acted as President, for more than two years of a term to which some other person was elected President shall be elected to the office of the President more than once. But this Article shall not apply to any person holding the office of President when this Article was proposed by the Congress, and shall not prevent any person who may be holding the office of President, or acting as President, during the term within which this Article becomes operative from holding the office of President or acting as President during the remainder of such term.
Section 2. This article shall be inoperative unless it shall have been ratified as an amendment to the Constitution by the legislatures of three-fourths of the several States within seven years from the date of its submission to the States by the Congress.
It doesn't say they can't HOLD the office for more than two terms. I doubt that is a realistic situation anyway but scary none the less. Matter of fact Slick Willie suggested modifying the Amendment to allow just that, a person to seek election after not ohlding the office twice, according to Wiki http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twenty-second_Amendment_to_the_United_States_Constitution (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twenty-second_Amendment_to_the_United_States_Constitution) It also has a bit of discussion of the VP being a past President.

Webb has military experience and was once a Republican that is now turned to the dark side. Wonder if he still has his Confederate flag or if any of his two ex-wives will share some dirt? He also says he supports the 2nd Amendment (has a CCW)… but B-HO said he supports the 2nd too.

Bro'O will pick someone that will be an "insurance policy" for him. What I mean, he will pick someone that we would really hate to see takeover IF something happens to the president. Sure, the logic is somewhat flawed because we already hate the idea of seeing B-HO as our President. All the same ... my list of people that would be good insurance for him starts with Nancy Pelosi.

They are talking about Retired Air Force Gen. Tony McPeak also. I can say from personal experience this guy is an idiot. He screwed up our perfectly good AF and was disliked from fellow 4-stars down to the lowest enlisted guy.
