President Barack Obama ~ Vice President Hillary Clinton
Journalists and pundits can't say it enough. Barack Obama becomes the first black person to win the nomination of a major political party in the history of the United States.
One of these, we'll have the first woman, the first Native American, the first Hispanic American, the first Mormon, the first homosexual, the first polygamist, and so on. But back to Obama.
Asked by CNN's Candy Crowley about whether or not he'll pick Hillary Clinton as VP, Barack delves into hitchy political speak that carefully avoids any and every land mine that sneaky reporters can plant.
One thing about not being a trained journalist or brilliant politician is that you can cut through the mud. Let's do just that.
Under tremendous pressure to not lose all those militant feminist foot soldiers of the Clinton Camp, and in the name of that political deity called Party Unity, Mr. Obama grudgingly pulls Hillary up to the VP slot. Now what?
The drama begins. First, there is that wild card, that man once photographed as "the first black president" ~ Bill Clinton. The man is losing it. What has happened to our Bill? Anger oozing out of his ears, nostrils, and who knows where else? Shouting at reporters. Cutting off supporters. Cussing. Insulting. Just being plain rude, as un-gentlemen as any man could become, not to mention a former president of the great United States.
So the popular prophecy comes true, and the Obama-Clinton ticket slams John McCain and the Republicans in November.
Now the scenarios that could unfold, a drama of politics the likes of which this nation has never seen, and no political commentator could have dreamed or drummed up.
Scenario #1: Bill Clinton, Hillary's baggage with a stench, goes wild, still chasing the girls, while remaining politically engaged, criticizing just about policy and position of President Obama. Bill continues to undercut Obama, and the things ravel out of control and spill into the public square of media frenzy. Fun is all that this scenario means.
Scenario #2: To register her opposition to Obama not signing on to the total package of her healthcare plan, Hillary Clinton resigns from the vice presidency about two years into Mr. Obama's regime.
Scenario #3: Upon her rhetorically violent resignation, Hillary Clinton begins to actively campaign against Obama, long before the 2012 presidential campaign season. Her supporters resort to holding regular street marches and protest, featuring signs that say, "Barack stole the 2008 primary elections", among others.
Scenario #4: The Democratic Party splits almost perfectly down the middle between the Clinton Camp and the Obama Camp, with 90% of blacks going with Obama. This is the Republicans wildest dream, though they'll never be a conservative party again any time soon, thanks to John McCain and his 80/20 identity in favor of Democratic ideals.
Other scenarios are certainly possible, but one involving Hillary accepting the vice presidential spot, then resigning, after gaining more political clout, would be by far among the juiciest political show of our time. Not only would that subject Obama to the worst form of public reproach, but it would display Hillary's sweetest revenge against Chicago rookie for spoiling the former first lady's all but certain coronation.
Of course, such a move would also doom Hillary's chances of ever becoming president of the United States, which means Americans do not yet need to answer the question, "What do you call the husband of the US president?"
One more thing: Since political office with accompanying power is more valuable to any real politician, especially to a Clinton, you can almost bet that Hillary Clinton will hold her nose through the humiliating years of being Obama's VP, even if it means 8 years, if she can be somehow certain she will be next in line. However, if Hillary ever gets a hint that Barack is vulnerable at anytime during his first 4 years in office, the VP will not wait for 2016, after a possible two-term Obama regime. At the first sign of Barack's weakness, Hillary, upon the reliable counsel of Mr. Clinton, will find a reason to resign and run against her former boss as early as the 2012 presidential election season. Why would she do such a thing? Because no one knows, including Hillary, how this superficial society will receive an aged woman vying for the highest office in the land.
