Clintama or Obaton


Just a little food for thought.

The Constitution's 25th Amendment allows for a new paradigm of political teamwork: The two Democratic candidates could publicly agree to take turns in the top slot.

Adopted in 1967 in the shadow of John F. Kennedy's assassination, the 25th Amendment allows presidents unilaterally to transfer presidential power to their vice presidents and enables presidents, with congressional consent, to fill a vacancy in the vice presidency should one arise. By creatively using the constitutional rules created by this amendment, the Democrats can, if they are so inclined, present the voters in November with a new kind of balanced ticket.

This won't work. Why do we want two people taking turns being president? Clinton and Obama don't want to take turns, both of them want the Oval office for themselves. They don't want to share the power. They are both so against each other right now, I don't see how they would suddenly come together to take turns sitting in the Oval office.

If Obama decides to have Clinton as his running mate, (and I SERIOUSLY doubt that these two will EVER share the same room again, much less the same ticket with all of the HATEFUL words that their giving each other) I only can give him one piece of advice...

...stay away from any grassy knolls! hmm.gif
