Yes, let's elect a man who monetized and politicized global warming. I'm sure everything will work out!

Seriously though, I'm inclined to believe that a Biden presidency could end up like the Carter presidency, or perhaps the Obama presidency if he doesn't entirely screw up.

It depends on if Josephus Biden has got a rightful claim to the throne.

I can't see it happening. The Dems will go for Clinton as they almost did last time, despite her age.

But I do know that he's already over 70 years old.

Rand Paul is an okay kind of exciting. Chris Christy is sort of a mildly interesting but not quite exciting politician.

The guy who opposed the Bin Laden raid? His political career should have been dead at that point. So no. I've not seen any political introduce less genuine emotions on the ISIS battle either since Jimmy Carter was trying to talk tough. Utterly pathetic.

Your statistic was off base. Hillary Clinton is definitely going to be the democratic nominee for president in 2016.
Never, never be afraid to do what's right, especially if the well-being of a person is at stake. Society's punishments are small compared to the wounds we inflict on our soul when we look the other way.
We have nothing to lose but the world. We have our souls to gain.
You!

What is the impartial proof of this "slow decline"? Obama got us out of the 2007 recession much faster than Europe. Bin Laden is dead. Housing starts are up, new jobs are up, inventory purchases are up, the markets are up. We are energy independent, a goal once thought unattainable.

Maybe the "decline" is perceptual, because some of these jobs and houses are going to people whose skin is not white?
