    It wouldn't say much for Obama to get rid of the VP he supported and touted as his partner...would it? Honest question.

    And yeah, I could see a Romney/Rubio ticket happening.
    Not an issue. Biden would just say he didn't want to do it anymore and gracefully bow out.

    Yes, he'd just say he's going home to be with his family. Same as most officials that are "fired".

    so no answers to my questions then?
    the mans a lawyer. he could tell you hes a cross dressing hermophrodite and do it so youd believe him. oh and what makes you think he doesnt love america? is it solely cause you think hes doing a shit job?

    ^^^ these questions^^^ catefrances?

    OK let me preface this by first saying that NO, I am not that naive...sooooo...with that in mind

    i believe that he was genuine when he went in
    i believe he had no idea (despite what he was obviously told) what he was "really" in for
    i believe that "he" thought that he could inspire compromise and change a lot of things
    i believe that he may be just as disillusioned as we are with what actually goes on on that grand old hill (he has been quite vocal about his disappointment with the process and the stubbornness of some of our legislators since he's been in office)
    i believe that he's a good man and that yes, he loves our country (we complain ALL THE time, but we love our country, right?)
    i don't think he's doing a crap job..what i do think is this

    OK and I'm gonna put it all out there

    and some of you guys are going to say this is BS and that we as a society are more advanced than this, but i TRULY believe that:

    1. because he's black
    2. because he's young
    3. because he doesn't have the "experience"
    4. because he DOES try to uphold his standards
    5. because he has publicly berated members of the GOP for their infantile behavior
    and
    6. because he is black
    7 . because he is black
    AND
    8. because he is black

    that he will NEVER have the respect of the elder members of the GOP and probably some of his own

    these are OLD MEN, RICH MEN, SPOILED ROTTEN BRATTY MEN who have had everything in world and more handed to them on a silver platter since the day they were born
    As much as i dislike this type of thing
    i truly believe that many of these men (and women for that matter) DO really feel that a man like Barack Obama should still be serving their mothers' tables in white gloves and a bow tie

    That may sound Harsh...but I have worked around some of these types of people in local (state) government, and I tell you...it IS the way they think

    Its a shame and I despise it
    but ...its true

    and i think that despite the public persona, there is still much deep seated prejudice in our country

    and i think it has a huge impact on what Obama has (NOT) been able to accomplish, and what he will be able to accomplish in the future

    And GAWD i hope Romney does NOT get elected
    peace,

    True, what both of you said. I just think it'd look bad for both of them.

    (btw, does Biden do anything gracefully? :mrgreen: )

    a politician look bad??? not really an anomaly now is it? besides millions of americans already think obamas the devil so wheres the harm? i didnt vote for obama(or whoever) cause he dropped biden(or whoever) as a running mate.. if that was anyones reason theyve got bigger problems with their kenyan president im thinking.

    i for one would be more inclined to respect someone who brought on board a stronger runnning mate as opposed to someone who continued along with the a lame duck, not admitting their 'mistake'... and have it impact further on up the road.
    hear my name
    take a good look

    hold my hand
    lie beside me

    yes those were the questions. and though they werent aimed at you stillhere i thank you for replying and sharing your thoughts.


    now to the whole because he is black thing...

    racism, much like religion makes zero sense to me. i just dont get it. and again, much like religion i understand why its here, i just cant fathom the lack of logic. and no that person has dark skin therefore theyre 'not like us' is not logic to me. i dont see dogs differentiating between fur colour when associating with other dogs, so why do humans have this pejorative attitude? well, i know why but hopefully you all get my point. if not please feel free to ask and dont jump all over my head. :)
