Barack + Hillary = (fill-in-the-blank)

By Michelle Malkin  •  June 6, 2008 06:01 AM

dreamt.jpg The Democrat presidential nominee and his arch-rival met yesterday in D.C., where they reportedly had a “productive discussion” about “unity.”

All the continued Beltway chatter of an Obama-Clinton ticket reminds me of the 1980s marriage-gone-bad movie, “The War of the Roses.”

Barack + Hillary = Oliver Rose/Michael Douglas + Barbara Rose/Kathleen Turner = union from hell = recipe for inevitable self-destruction.

Line most likely to be uttered in some form by Hillary to Obama if this nightmare ticket became reality?

Turner snarling at Douglas: “You might not have made it if not for me, sweetcakes.”

Bad, bad idea, Barry. Watch your back, honeybun. There’s no winning with Hillary. Only degrees of losing:

    I do believe that his “losing” is the preference of this side of the aisle. Yet, if this is so, why do so many right-of-center journalists offer “helpful” advice to The Obamboozler?

    I’m right there with you. So, the “dream ticket” goes through, and the “dream ticket” makes it to Washington. My suspicion would be something ‘happens’ early in the term.

    The Clinton political machine will not be stopped.

    Barack and Hillary
    in the White House,
    One is the cat
    One is the mouse.

    But which one is which?
    If Hillary was my vice president, I wouldn’t even want to catch a cold. She’d make Alexander Haig look good.

    How in the world will the Obamessiah sleep at night knowing that he is just one heartbeat away from her moving up to the first seat? He’ll need to hire a food taster, as well as double his guard, (if he can trust them). But, then again, would Hillary do anything so low as to speed his demise? Think about it, folks.
    I just did, and yes, she sure would.

    1. Emptry thrats by Susan Sarandon and Tim Robbins (and whole host of Hollywood phonies)to move away from the US

    2. The groundwork for Hillary to run in 2012 as she will not let Obama win. Remember this is all about her and to hell with anybody else.

    3. A major outcry that criticizing or voting against a ‘Rainbow Coalition’ team of a black man and a white woman is discrminatory and rascist. Doesn’t matter that they are unqualified or totally socialist and don’t represent the mainstream (non-media driven) views of the US

    4. An instant an undying reference to 1968 - where this whole ‘all about me’ brand of politics got its start - and electing these two is supposed to be the post-Woodstock ‘We can change the world’ payoff.

    5. One of the signs of the Apoloypse? (just kidding - but if they were elected, I’d have to re-evaluate that).

    If, for some strange reason, Obama were stupid enough to put Hillary on the ticket with him and he were to win in November, Surely Obama would have enough insight to at least relegate them to the old Executive Office Building.

    Insightful, I agree, It was not a gaff when she mentioned RFK being assasinated in June when she could have said simply that RFK won the nomination in the Calif. primary in June, there was no need to mention assasination.

    We don’t know what monster pressures will be put on Obama to add Mrs. Clinton to his ticket, nor what disgusting back-room deals might be made. However, fear for his life aside, Obama would be stupid to take on Mrs. Clinton as his running mate. She would be a disruptive influence and try to hog the credit for any perceived successes of the administration. She would also drag the clinton odor of corruption and immorality back into the executive office. Best be rid of her.

    Seeing that the rest of this comment thread is moving to a more conspiratorial tone, I think I’m going to throw something out there as well.

    Here’s some quotes from the article:

    CNN reported Friday that the meeting was at California Sen. Diane Feinstein’s home.

    Asked at the time about the Illinois senator’s whereabouts, Gibbs smiled and declined to comment.

    Reporters traveling with Obama sensed something might be happening between the pair when they arrived at his campaign plane after an event in Northern Virginia and he was not aboard.

    And here’s an amusing article from Wonkette:

    Not to mention the “John McCain has years of experience on national security, I have years of experience (Ed- dodging sniper fire) on national security, and Obama, he gave a speech in 2002″ line of Hillary’s from the debate is tailor made for GOP campaign commercials.

If Obama wins, he’ll have some coat-tails, a solid House majority and a fillibuster proof Senate majority, health care will pass, in one fell swoop something like 10% of the economy will pass from the private sector to central state control, and Hillary can be the new J Edgar Hoover of a massive, powerful and complex bureaucracy.

    Obama is being forced to make Hillary his VP by the Global Elite. Yesterday the Bilderberg Group held their annual meeting. Every four years they meet in the U.S. (which of course just happens to be the years that we have presidential election.) Yesterdays meeting took place at the Westfield Marriot in Chantilly, Va. near Dulles airport. Obama held a rally at nearby Nissan Pavillion just up the road in Manassass, Va. so we know that he was in the vicinity. Then He and Hillary have a late night meeting in D.C. Hmmm…
    Could be just coincidence but I think not.

    No way he’ll pick her - she doesn’t play nice with anyone. BTW, what the hell do we need an executive branch for anyways? Think about how much money has been spent electing someone to abuse power and usher in socialism. The founding fathers would fall down dead if they saw the union today. It is exactly what they feared: consolidated central government. In a strict constructionist interpretation of the constitution intended by the founding fathers, the constitution has to specifically authorize powers to the “federal” government. So where does the constitution authorize universal health care or forcing oil companies to reinvest their profits or mortgage bailouts? The executive branch is just a left-over from the monarchy we broke away from. It seems some people need to worship kings and have someone else take care of them.

    I think Hillary’s chances for the presidency are better if she is McCain’s running mate. McCain is totally infatuated with Hillary. Of course, McCain’s chances of living out his first term are worse if Hillary is his running mate.

    No way, no day!

    He’s got enough controversies of his own working against him without adding hers to the pile.

    Plus, he’d have to share the world stage with Billy “Star Power” Clinton, which would make negotiating with other world powers nearly impossible as supernovas seldom occur in pairs.

    And just imagine the looks of confusion on the faces of world leaders trying to forge a treaty or contract with the U.S. and having both a president Obama and Billy C in the room! They wouldn’t know whose hand to shake first, Obama’s or Billy’s, let alone decide with whom to discuss the specific terms of a deal.

    No, HRC will not be on Obama’s ticket.

And he’ll have Bill on the sidelines piping up and making public statements about what O SHOULD have done about this or that, because remember Billy C. isn’t capable of sitting quietly on the sidelines. This would also mean that O has brought the stain of the Clinton presidency into his administration, should he win. Nobody that ever got into bed with the Clintons came out unhurt. I have observed that you always get junk on you when you get involved with the Clintons. You could end up in jail or worse….

    I’m with you on this one, terrig. Our country is a Socialist Republic cesspool in the biggest grip of me, me, me and screw you, you, you (insert military, the founders, and Conservative values, taxpayers) and racist, victim, pity pool guilt trip political campaign in many, many years.

    It pains me that, as a former Social Studies teacher, we are no longer Americans. We are sub-groups with individual grievances. We are blacks who need to stick it to the rest of the country because the rest couldn’t possible understand what it’s like to be a DESCENDANT of slaves. There are Latinos who think that there are no illegals and that anybody can just enter this country, have a baby, and then wham bam, you’re a citizen. There are youth, who have become desensitized, isolated, lazy, who no longer think for themselves, don’t think they should work for what they want, that the country owes THEM something. These are all the products of liberalism and its useful educational curriculum of multi-culturalism.

    Yes, it is depressing. How do you fight against the following things:

    1. Free health care.
    2. Welfare.
    3. Free college education.
    4. Raising taxes to create this grand, new Socialist Utopia.
    5. Chit chatting with dictator sock puppets.
    6. Ensuring lack of energy independence through environmental interference.
    7. Giving victim groups freebies because you have to keep your voter groups happy.
    8.Defunding/weakening the military for the pleasure of groups like Moveon.org.

    I’m afraid that there are very few politicians out there, including Obummer, Shrillary, an McCain, who value true “independence.” They all have these constituencies to please, whether it is victim/minority groups, environuts, anti-war zealots, etc. Just because Obummer says he’s done with lobbyists doesn’t mean it will happen. He sure didn’t include the House or Senate versions of the DNC.

    No, not only have politicians lost their souls but so have American citizens who have forgotten what this country is really about and why it was founded in the first place.

    Sad, it is, terrig. I will vote for McCain because I can’t think of another option to stave off the looming abyss.
