True Nightmare

Dear Friends,

Last night I had the strangest dream. It was so real, so life-like and so vivid I woke

up in a cold sweat.

Let me describe it to you briefly...

1. Hillary wins the Democratic Party nomination for President of the United States
2. Naturally, she wants to choose as her running mate someone with a lot of knowledge and experience in government and foreign affairs, someone who is a seasoned campaigner who could bring a lot of strength to the ticket. Who better than Bill, her husband?!!!

3. Hill and Bill go on to win the election in November and the Democrats maintain control of the House and the Senate.

4. Hillary is sworn in as President on January 20, 2009. The next day, after all the inauguration parties are over, she calls a press conference to make an announcement: she is resigning as President!!! Bill, as the Vice President, immediately becomes President!!! This is all perfectly legal under the 22nd Amendment to the Constitution, for it states that no person "may be elected as president more than twice". Bill is not being elected for a third term but is merely serving out the remainder of Hillary's term --- all 4 years of it.

5. But wait! There's more! The following day Bill calls a press conference to make an announcement. He has chosen someone to fill the now vacant Vice President Position. Guess who he picks? Why, Hillary, of course!!!

Now you stay awake and let me get some sleep !!!!!!!

You know, yesterday I also thought--can Bill serve as VP. It is true, that the 22nd amendment does not bar him from serving as VP, nor would it bar him from serving as President in the event of resignation, impeachment, incapacity, death, etc. I'm not one to generally comment on political matters either, but I am with CYensen. I think it would be great. We sure enjoyed some good years under Bill Clinton.

sorry, but my industry( boat business) suffered some of the worst years in history under slick willy, especially considering fuel was relativily cheap. For me at least, trickle down economics supports me and my wife. The big economic boost we saw under Clinton was mainly due to the opening of the on line market place( and no, they didn't invent it). Look back at how many major, big money industrys were started during those years as a direct by product of the internet. I have issues with the current administration, but would I swap them for the Clintons, hell no! Just my .02

I like y'all waaay too much to discuss poly-tics with you. Therefore I respectfully abstain from this thread.
