What could possibly go wrong with Obama’s third term in office with Hillary Clinton and Senator Tim Kaine on the Democrat ticket?

Back in play: Obama reject Hillary Clinton VP pick Senator Tim Kaine



Senator Tim Kaine on the Democratic ticket as Hillary Clinton’s vice president is bad news for all of those hoping to see their country restored to political and economic stability. How do we know? Because President Barack Obama is telling us so, though in quite different words. Kaine is a recycle from Obama’s 2008 election campaign, an empty business suit that’s already shared many pegs in the Democrat closet; the same suit that was considered as Obama’s 2008 running mate before Joe Biden.
Kaine was Debbie Wassermann-Schultz in a suit before becoming Hillary Clinton’s vice president pick: “Barack Obama considered Kaine as his running mate in 2008 before choosing Joe Biden. He ran the national Democratic Party from 2009 to 2011, and he won a race for the U.S. Senate the following year.” (America, July 22, 2016 ) This is the word sent out today by Barack Obama (See Below).
“I wanted to take a moment to tell you why I'm so proud that Hillary has chosen Senator Tim Kaine to join her on the Democratic ticket this fall. “Nothing can really prepare you for this job. You come to learn that it's about having a firm grasp of the issues, sound judgment, and the tenacity never to stop fighting to make people's lives better. “The thing about Hillary is, she already understands all that. She does her homework, she masters the issues, and she never gives up. She gets the job done. And more than almost anyone I've worked with in Washington, Hillary's the kind of person who sees a problem and says, "How can I fix this? What can I do to help?"

“But this job is also about surrounding yourself with the best possible people. And there's no more important decision you'll make as a presidential candidate than choosing a vice president. There are basically two paths you can take. You can pick someone for purely political reasons -- or you can pick someone who will be your partner in government. Someone who shares your values. Someone who will make you a better president. “That's why I picked Joe Biden -- and it's a testament to Hillary's character and integrity that she chose a man like Tim Kaine. “Like Hillary, Tim is an optimist. But like Hillary, he is also a progressive fighter. He's the son of a teacher and an iron worker who's always got working families on his mind. He spent nearly two decades and specialized in representing people who had been denied fair access to housing just because of what they looked like, or because they had a disability. And when a gunman killed 32 people on the campus of Virginia Tech, Tim knew he had a responsibility as governor to offer more than thoughts and prayers to the community he mourned with -- and as a gun owner, he stood up to the gun lobby on their behalf. “There aren't a lot of elected officials in Washington whom people like even more when the cameras are off than when the cameras are on. But Tim is that kind of guy. He's a man who's risen to the highest levels of government but still lives in the same neighborhood he did as a city council member in Richmond. You just can't find anyone with a bad thing to say about him, from the staff who've worked for him to the Republicans who've served alongside him. “Simply put: Tim is a good man. He's a true progressive. And he will make a great vice president. “I could not be prouder to support our Democratic ticket -- please join me in welcoming Tim Kaine to this team.”

Oh, and did we tell you that Tim Kaine’s a Jesuit-schooled Catholic? One that comes right out and says that abortion makes him...”uncomfortable”? “As a young attorney in Virginia, Tim Kaine offered his legal services free of charge to death-row inmates seeking exoneration. He has said for decades that he is against the death penalty and that he is uncomfortable with the idea of abortion. Both positions are informed by his lifelong Catholic faith, but he nonetheless eschews the label of “pro-life,” a view he made clear as recently as last week.” (America) Obama is cheering Tim Kaine as Hillary’s pick for vice president and so are the Jesuit priests. What could possibly go wrong with Obama’s third term in office with Hillary Clinton and Senator Tim Kaine on the Democrat ticket?
