Perhaps in one the iterations, Pelosi will become President! :w00t: :swiss:
What could possibly go wrong?

Well, I guess the Reset Button gambit worked after all, at least to the Russians who may have taken it a bit wrongly! Russians just apparently reset things to the way they were before.

I didn't want my suggestion to be too obvious or else I would have suggested Hil as Pres as 4th in line.

Given Hillary's disastrous handling of the Russian situation, I would say she's been disqualified.

I think you've missed my point.

Not really; just that his is better.  She can't phone the Slavic Department at Georgetown or Harvard for a proper translation.  That's she's unqualified even for her current position, let alone that of President.

Actually, I would say that she is MORE qualified to be President than SecState.

It's a little funny to hear an Obamaniac talk about lack of qualification for the presidency.

Okay, I'll make it clear and won't be vague.

I was suggesting, although not really as we don't talk about deaths of political figures, that in one of these groundhog day like cycles, perhaps we'd have a scenario where both the POTUS and VP end up dying.  The Obama presidency would thus be over.

After all the furor over the first little escapade, the Western Consensus was that mewling "Oh, we CAN'T possibly do ANYTHING!" so why wouldn't Russia finish the job?
More like 'why should we do anything?'

Interesting stuff in Russia at the minute.
Let's bomb Russia!

I agree.  The only reason I can think of for having her as SecState is a political one for Obama to get rid of a threat in the Senate.  It's why I don't think it's a terribly good pick.

Though, so far, I think she's actually been hugely impressive.

Honestly, let's not really start up the experience bit again. After all, we can't say that Obam has actually been hugely impressive. :(

I disagree.  Given the situation I think he has been very impressive.  I genuinely can't think of a world leader who seems to be handling the crisis as well :mellow:
