How did a thread about Biden in 2016 turn into a Clinton 2012 riff?

I don't see Biden as a candidate for president. I see him as becoming an effective campaigner for Obama near the end of the summer when the last third of America makes up their minds. He will spend the next four years as VP touring the country to help sell the Obama agenda.

Then, he will become an entertainer as a commenter on cable news shows.
Power is nothing till you use it.

I think he will eventually be reduced to selling the slogan. "It's a big f__ing deal!"

Perhaps you are right, that could be the name of his commentary spot on the new CNN/FOX network.

Doh!  He just did it again.  Claiming a double dip!

"Former President Bill Clinton told CNBC Tuesday that the US economy already is in a recession and urged Congress to extend all the tax cuts due to expire at the end of the year."



I'm telling you, Romney may not win this election, it may be delivered to him by Bill Clinton.

Expect another faint walk-back today, and watch this trend continue.

Now the battle begins.  President Obama is ready to fight.

It's going to be a Clinton vs. Obama grudge match. 

That's like taking a knife to a gun fight.

Obama is playing chicken now.  This might get interesting.

Consistently robust economy under Clinton.

Consistently foundering economy under Obama.

What on earth is a foundering economy?

I would have taken Summers advice and pump more money into the system through infrastructure upkeep ... had you obstructionists not been there, growth would be 3-4 % today. Oh well, the Fed through QE3 is a coming.... to hell with austerity mental illness.

Clinton gets it.  Keep your fingers out of the machine and everything works.  Had he employed that same philosophy to women, there would be little to criticize him over.
 
Manipulation breeds artificial growth, bubbles, and deficits. The market is an organic system with far more moving parts than any central bank can understand.  We keep proving that to ourselves over and over and over and over again.  Free markets are a threat to politicians and social engineering projects because they promise the dynamic freedom of the individual.

The financial elites of this country, notably the Morgan, Rockefeller, and Kuhn Loeb interests, were responsible for putting through the Federal Reserve System, as a governmentally created and sanctioned cartel device to enable the nation's banks to inflate the money supply in a coordinated fashion, without suffering quick retribution from depositors or noteholders demanding cash.

Ooh, a gold bug. You guys are so fun!

I haven't listened to Clinton's remarks, but I do find it interesting that he's running back some stuff he said last year about what he would do for the economy. (or maybe it was earlier this year, whenever the last CGI conference was) I also think it's interesting that he thinks tax cuts would be helpful, given that corporate balance sheets are loaded with cash with nothing to spend it on and they're making more profit than ever, even adjusted for inflation (even discounting the financial sector). Why would giving them more cash help? Businesses are complaining about a lack of demand, not a lack of supply.

I thought you guys were all for listening to what business wants?

That was when you could still change your paper dollars for silver.  Where they now say Federal Reserve Note, they used to say Silver Certificate.
