OBAMA’S 2012 CAMPAIGN MERRY-GO-ROUND: ANDREW CUOMO TO REPLACE JOE BIDEN, BIDEN TO REPLACE HILLARY CLINTON?
Posted on July 5, 2011 at 12:07am
by Tiffany Gabbay

Could President Obama be growing tired of Vice President Joe Biden’s seemingly endless gaffes, or of what some perceive is Biden’s increasing irrelevance?  So tired he would actually choose another running mate to lead him into 2012? If prominent political strategists including William Powers — the GOP power broker responsible for electing Rudy Giuliani mayor – are correct, Obama might consider replacing his current Vice President with freshman New York governor Andrew Cuomo. In turn, strategists predict Biden might then fill Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s shoes. Seriously?

Cuomo, who found his way into the spotlight recently with his strong support of same-sex marriage in New York State, received all kinds of kudos from Powers, who believes the first term governor is a shoe-in to be Obama’s running mate. Powers tells the New York Post:

“Andrew had a fabulous session. It was fabulous. A property-tax cap, ethics reform and, for Democrats, gay marriage,” said Powers.
“I don‘t think there’s any doubt Obama is going to pick him as his running mate. The president is in trouble and [Vice President Joseph] Biden doesn’t bring anything to his ticket.
“The president will call him up later this year and say, ‘Andrew, you have to do this for the good of the country.‘ What’s Andrew going to say, ‘No?’ “....................>>>>......................>>>>.....................http://www.theblaze.com/storie.....ace-hillary-clinton/

Gay marriage is only for Democrats? Who knew?

The only way this makes sense is if NYS is in jeopardy. If NYS is in jeopardy than we are looking at a 45 state REP blow out. Anyone but Biden. Anyone but Obama.

Consider the SOURCE of this story Benny...
The story is from Glenn Beck's Website, "The Blaze"... and linked to a story from a Republican source quoted in the NY Post.  BTW... Beck's #1 man at "the Blaze" is a former Andrew Breitbart protege...
As you can see... not too much credibility in any of it.

Must not be a state sanctioned, Obama approved source.  I love your logic to discredit the source. It's classic.

Is Kirsten Powers also a REP activist? lol. This is being pushed by the Cuomo administration and believed by the DEM lame stream media. Biden's horrible and putting him in as Secretary of State would be another disaster. The best way to avoid all this nonsense is to dump Obama 2012.

The logic???
If you consider Glenn Beck, his website "The Blaze", and a former Breitbart protege, to be "credible, reliable sources", then I'm sure you'd have no problem with the reliability of the story.

I go straight to Huffington, The Kos, Politico, and Jon Stewart for my credible unbias information.

Weather it's Glenn Beck, The Blaze, and  Breitbart...
or
Huffington, The Kos, Politico, and Jon Stewart...
Cicero seems incapable of opting for a reliable source for news and instead quotes the extremes of both sides.

Since Cicero only trusts unreliable sources, he should check out Fox News... they just reported  that the Obama administration aides have told them the President is going to be sticking with Joe Biden as Vice President for the 2012 campaign.

Box is the arbiter of reliable sources.  Like the sources where he gets all those unbiased, center of the road reliable graphs.

NOPE!  What ever we consider to be reliable is what we should go by...

I prefer some one more mainstream... someone who promotes news.  Instead of Cicero's quoted sources (Glenn Beck, The Blaze, Fox,  Breitbart, Huffington, The Kos, Politico, and Jon Stewart) who promote a political agenda.

Cicero seems totally lost.  When confronted with finding a 'mainstream', reliable news source, he seems unable to find even ONE!

After quoting several Extremist sites from both the left and the right, he now opts for a over the hill news reporter or a fired MSNBC host.

Cicero.  I know you'll never take any of my advice, but for others who may find themselves in the same situation, try these... then compare what you get from all these sites and find a common thread between them.  No news source is 100% reliable, and there will always be mistakes, but please stay away from the far right or the far left that Cicero seems to cling to.

Try the BBC, NPR, CBS, NBC, ABC, CNN... The Wall Street Journal, The NY Times etc.

Then consider 'questionable sources':
Questionable sources are those with a poor reputation for checking the facts, or with no editorial oversight. Such sources include websites and publications expressing views that are widely acknowledged as extremist, or promotional in nature, or which rely heavily on rumors and personal opinions. Questionable sources are generally unsuitable for citing contentious claims about third parties, which includes claims against institutions, persons living or dead, as well as more ill-defined entities. The proper uses of a questionable source are very limited.
