Hillary rejected VP slot to ready her own 2016 run

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was pressed by her husband and a top Obama aide to consider replacing Vice President Joe Biden just a couple of weeks ago, claims the author of the New York Times bestseller "The Amateur."
But Clinton, exhausted from four years of international travel and diplomacy, shrugged off the suggestion to lay the groundwork for her own 2016 bid with her husband at her side, according to author Ed Klein.
"As recently as a couple of weeks ago, the White House was putting out feelers to see if Hillary Clinton was interested in replacing Joe Biden on the ticket," Klein told Secrets. "Bill Clinton, I'm told, was urging his wife to accept the number two spot if it was formally offered. Bill sees the vice presidency as the perfect launching pad for Hillary to run for president in 2016."
He made similar comments Thursday night to CNBC's Larry Kudlow. The White House has dismissed speculation of a Clinton for Biden swap despite a string of recent gaffes by the vice president.
Klein, whose book is No. 2 on the NYT bestseller list, quoted unnamed sources who revealed that top Obama aide Valerie Jarrett put the vice presidency on the table during a lunch with the secretary of state. "The lunch was ostensibly about policy issues, but the subject of the vice presidency came up," he said. "Hillary told Valerie Jarrett that she was not interested in running as Obama's vice president."
Klein said she cited two reasons: If elected, she didn't want to be tied to Obama's left-leaning politics in her own 2016 bid. Second, if Obama loses, she would be tarred as a loser.
New on Friday: Klein told Secrets that Bill Clinton is working fast to get a 2016 Hillary for President campaign up and going. His sources told him that Clinton is sniffing around for a major donor to offer up a jet for the potential candidate to use. Also, Klein said, Clinton is looking for somebody to take over the Clinton Global Initiative "so that he can devote his full time to Hillary's campaign."
Klein has sources deep in the Clinton camp and he said that they said she is eager for a rest followed by a makeover. "She clearly is exhausted. She needs to lose weight and get her energy back for a four-year slog."
He added that Obama has never talked to Clinton about replacing Biden. The reason, said Klein, is that Obama was afraid she would turn him down and Bill Clinton would leak the snub to the media.

Haha go figure - the Clintons are smart enough to stay away from Obama as far as possible without alienating fellow Democrats.

of course obama is a liar. so is romney and ryan. biden might be honest most of the time, only becuase he's too stupid to know when to lie or deflect.
But if you had to bet a million dollars, woudl you believe someone from the white house called this dude? lol

You're actually surprised at the notion that H. Clinton doesn't want to be attached to a potential train wreck?

I thought the topic was Hilary, reportedly rejecting the notion of replacing Biden as VP, to avoid crashing and burning in November 2012.

I can't think of any reason why the Secretary of State would need to meet with the POTUS and his VP (who was chosen in part because of his foreign policy experience). It's not like there is something going on in Syria or that she just got back from visiting with Turkey were the idea of a no-fly zone in Syria was discussed. If she had something important to talk with Obama about wouldn't she have just tweeted it?

I think a deal is in the works - and I think it'll be "leaked" during the RNC to completely upstage Ryan and Romney.

And what would the reason be?
Joe came down w an illness in the last week?
Just face it already 180 - the entire Obama choom train is out of steam. They have nothing to run on, have a disastrous record they are running from, and there is no way to polish this turd any longer, regardless of how hard you try.

you're HIGH
Clinton has her hands full as Secretary of State and no way she would jump on the ticket now and even bigger no way that Obama would even do that. It would be a strategic disaster
This is a made up story
btw -the same bogus story was floating around about Cheney and Bush in 2004

The only strategic disaster is keeping Obama on the top of the ticket.

Smart woman.

and anyone who actually believes that is dumb

And what would the reason be?
He wants to win the fcking election, 333386.
And with hilary - he would.

you know the reason. "Spend time with famliy and pursuit other interests"
You didnt cry when palin quit on the 4th of july and slinked out officer after serving 65% of her term.
Why cry when biden's served his purpose and hilary would revitalize this ticket?
SEe, you think the reason would matter - and it woudln't. The fact obama would get a 8 point bounce in polls should matter to you.
Where was that "greater than 6" Ryan bump you predicted?
