Predictions for 2012 Presidential Politics

Predictions for 2012 Presidential Politics

I am setting the stage by making these early predictions for the next presidential election in 2012. For anyone who would dare to dispute my assertions, please send me a quarter once my predictions become real and I am vindicated. It’s all about Hillary by default!

It’s sometimes between May and July 2012. Campaigning is at full swing. There are speculation all over about this and that. The President of the United States, Barack Obama is seeking a second term in office, however; the rumor mill is swinging. Rumors leaked directly from the Vice President Joe Biden’s office intended to test the reaction of the American People.

Rumors that the Vice President of the United States is withdrawing his name from further consideration on the ticket which, according to the experts; is certain to win re-election in a landslide against the party of “NO”. 

How can this be? What is the problem or what could be the problem? The economy is sound. Banks are doing well by lending and financing small businesses again. Wall Street is on a streak of sound investments and investors are dancing in the street. War – what war? The Nation has moved on from the debacle of 2000-2008 and prosperity is in the land. The Taliban has surrendered and the remnants were driven out of Afghanistan by locals. Iran has recognized the right of the Israelis to live in perfect harmony with their neighbors and ambassadors were exchanged between North Korea and South Korea. Cuba is no longer a pariah. Blacks are getting along with Whites and all things being equal, Whites are reciprocating and extending an olive branch to our amigos from South of the Border. It’s time to get along. The Barackometer is now at its highest point.  

Amidst all this, why is Vice President Biden not in the race for re-election? The last time, perhaps the only time in U.S history a sitting Vice President refused to run, it was because he and his under-study president had destroyed the goodwill towards all men and took peace for granted. So, the heir apparent to the throne in 2008 could not bring himself to running for the same land he had pillaged for 8 years. No, he couldn’t face over 300 million Americans and ask for another four years of rubbish-filled leadership. He disappeared to his usual undisclosed location. Now, Vice President Biden is bowing out. This is an oxy. It should not happen this way. He must be excited to run on the records of Obama-Biden for the next four years. Vice President Biden must be mistaken!

While accepting Mr. Biden’s resignation, the President responded with praise and understanding of his desire to withdraw from the upcoming election. President Obama in his speech informed the nation that he accepted Mr. Biden’s withdrawal with great understanding and expressed his thanks and gratitude for a magnificent four years. To the chagrined of those present, the President never took a single question from reporters but offered another news conference in the next few days. A week later, at a weekly briefing, the president appears unannounced inside the Rose Garden to nominate the Nations New Vice President. Any surprise here? Ladies and Gentlemen, it is with great excitement that I nominate Secretary of State, Hillary Rodham Clinton as my Vice President for upcoming election……To Be Continued
