Obama will not select Clinton as Vice President 2012 and stick with same old status quo Biden

It is all about Al Gore, the Vice President that was nothing more and nothing less for America, who was the backup Commander in Chief who tried following the success of his master Bill Clinton and failed despite winning the popular vote 48.4-47.9% yet losing the electoral vote 271-266-1 which matters down south. Following somewhat in the footsteps of Minnesotan Walter Mondale, who backed up Jimmy Carter in 1976 as Vice President, just as fellow Senator from Minnesota Hubert Horatio Humphrey Junior had attempted against Richard Nixon in 1968 and failed. Not since the shortened tenure by term limits, with the four terms of Franklin D. Roosevelt along with John N. Garner, Henry A. Wallace and Harry S. Truman from 1933 to 1945, has any Democratic President of the United States of America be successfully reelected so historical precedent does not precede into this commentary.

All in all, this shows just how fragile a Democratic victory is and how even moreso a Democratic repeat can be, thus President Barack Hussein Obama the Second will not be selecting the United States Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton as his nominee for Vice President and instead the former Senator from Illinois will stay with his first term horse Joe Biden.

Not unlike the Connecticut Senator Joe Lieberman in 2000 or North Carolina Senator John Edwards in 2004, the former Delaware Senator Joe Biden had always been what has been since moniked a career politician. But like the former Tennessee Senator and Vice President Al Gore, Biden used the fact as it was and turned it around to sustain the state of the union as it was, buy some more time internationally and build upon that national confidence, ironically maintaining the status quo to return America back to its original stability just before the financial crisis. Though nothing to be proud of, the accomplishments in the very least allowed the American empire to simply remain a union, live another day to keep the hope that change will come and that America will continue moving forward towards a brave and brand new tomorrow.
