If, God-forbid, Obama and Biden were assassinated while in office, who then would become our President?

Morbid question, I know, but, for whatever reasons, my Dad thinks Obama's life will constantly be in jeopardy while in office and it caused me to think upon such.

Thanks,

It wouldn't be much different from an Obama White House. According to Rachel Maddow, "you can't put a piece of paper between Obama's and Pelosi's policy prescriptions."

I thought you said no one, including the media, knows what Obama believes on policy?

Oh, dear. Here we go again. Another worthless semantic argument. Go argue with yourself. I don't write posts as legal documents. I brought up many of the talking heads that were supporting him had no idea of his worldview. I may have written "no one", and if you choose to take me to forum court over it, then I'll have to amend my statement. What a tremendous victory you have achieved.

However, when she said it, I assumed she meant that one could look at their voting records and see virtually no difference.

Have a nice day.

Hugs & Kisses,

Poor guy. Fall all over yourself to attack Obama, even to the point of contradicting yourself, and then turn sarcastic when it's pointed out. Just like when you said Obama, with a Democratic congress, would be a "socialist steamroller" and then, in another thread, said Obama probably wouldn't really do anything.

Whatever's convenient to criticize Obama, whether or not it's rational or consistent! :)

You may try to figure out my motives, but the very idea you believe to understand them better than me only highlights your arrogance and self-importance.

But if you wish to be picky, Brokaw and Rose discussed his "worldview", while Maddow discussed his "policy prescriptions". Those are two different concepts. Also, I don't understand how quoting three different people is contridicting myself.

Spin is fun for some, but not for me. My thoughts have been completely consistent, and it's only by taking parts of what I've said that you try to make it appear as if I'm inconsistent. I guess that's an enjoyable afternoon for you; it's not for me. Like I said, enjoy your semantic victory. It doesn't appear as if there's much else in your life.

Vaya con Dios.

I didn't say anything about your motives, just your actions.

Hurtful. Please take that back. :(

And I don't think it's semantic. I think you contradict yourself in an attempt to have your cake and eat it too. You both want to claim Obama is clearly a far left socialist, as by his voting history and statements, yet also claim that Obama is a blank slate that nobody knows anything about, because he's hidden everything about his beliefs.
 
Children, children, let's not fight.
Let's just all agree that Barack Obama is the worst thing to happen to this country in a century and we can all get along.

As long as you are consistent in that position. That makes it hard for Pelosi to also be the worst thing to happen to this country in a century, and Bill Clinton.

Well, Bill Clinton was the worst, then Pelosi, then Obama. Kind of like how we keep killing al-Qaida's #2 guy over and over.
