Vice President during Monday's inaugural parade. (Photo: Gerald Herbert, AP) Vice President Biden says it's too early to decide whether he will run for president in 2016 - there's too much left to do under President Obama. "There are a whole lot of reasons why I wouldn't run," Biden told CNN.

"The Libertarian candidate for president, Gary Johnson, said on Sunday he "might actually run the table on all this" and win the White House in November, thanks to "the polarisation of Clinton and Trump"."

I doubt this will ever happen, but if it did it would be absolutely ludicrous. I'm almost positive there hasn't been a 3rd party winner since George Washington

re:Tanner I am not betting on a 3rd party win, but I do think this will be a big year for their vote totals. Technically Abraham Lincoln was a 3rd party (split from the Whigs to form the Republican party)

"The 10-minute conversation between US President-elect Donald Trump and Taiwan President Tsai Ing-wen was a major break in the accepted protocol -- something that evidently does not much bother Mr. Trump. It is, of course, too soon to guess whether it was a fluke or a portent of a sea change in American policy."

"A Texas elector said Monday that enough is enough -- he will not cast his vote for President-elect Donald Trump as part of the Electoral College process on December 19."

Although they have the right to choose and refuse to vote, this is the reason that some people don't vote, because the electoral college can just ignore the majority vote and do whatever. Although they should have the right to vote how they want, if they do there will probably be less people who feel like they made a difference in the process.

This is not right at all the people want Donald Trump as president. People spoke they want Donald. If they really do represent there state maybe they should cast there vote even if they like Trump or not. This is getting old they need to get over it. Trump is our president.

WASHINGTON - President Obama will submit to one last questioning by the White House press corps on Wednesday, stepping behind the presidential lectern for a final news conference as president as his offices in the West Wing are being packed up before his departure on Friday.

Analysis of election factors points to Romney win, University of Colorado study says

Romney might be projected to win but you never know what's going to happen until it does.... and everyone says Obama is destroying the country but how can you destroy something that has was already in war and destroyed when you got it? it takes a long time for repair and if we keep switching presidents we will never give any of them enough time to fix the U.S

I think that president Obama will win the reelection because all the past presidents have always been reelected if they have not resigned.

Second, the law prohibits protests at military funerals in the two hours immediately prior to and following a military funeral -- a measure, the President said, that will ensure that our servicemembers get laid to rest with "the utmost honor and respect."

During a private fundraiser earlier this year, Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney told a small group of wealthy contributors what he truly thinks of all the voters who support President Barack Obama.

I agree, people should have to prove that they need help and don't have any other options. Too many people take advantage of the system. I've actually had someone come into the deli where I work and ask if we were hiring, and when I told him I could check, he said he was just asking about jobs so that he could continue receiving unemployment. I think that attitude is way too prevalent in our country.

The idea of people needing government aid is very broad. I can tell you now, everyone who has ever gone to school was on public aide, some more then others. The government aides the school you go to, for every student, they receive appx. $6000 per student. Now, if we as students were not on government aid, I can tell you now I would not be at school. My parents could not afford $6000 a year for me to go to school. Not to mention another $6000 for my brother. The average student that stops at high school is there for anywhere from 13-14 years, that's over $78000 just to get every student a high school diploma, all of which is funded by the government. I know that the average income of a household is 63k a year. Now take that down to 50k from house payments, which most people do not complete until at least 60. Assuming the average household has 2 children, you are now down to 38k. Assuming your parents both have to make car payments, that is 12k a year for the average american. 26k left. The middle lower class is now spend, on average they make 40k, and have about 6k left. Now, what about income taxes, regular taxes, gas money, food, water, electricity, injury, insurance, and other daily expenses. The middle class can barely get by. As for people people not being able to make that kind of money, the middle class is primarily college graduates, with a bachelors degree. You would be surprised as to how many people do not have that. As for, they could have made it happen. I would disagree, some people are simply not smart enough to get EVERY scholarship out there. I know I am not one of those that can. It's not fair when someone has potential, and cannot go to college when someone with half the potential can just because they already have money. The more potential student should receive that aide.

"President Obama has pardoned an Omaha man sentenced to probation and home confinement for a drug conviction in 1996. The White House said Thursday that Chris Deann Switzer was one of 21 people who received clemency."

"Voters go to the polls in Florida, Illinois, Missouri, North Carolina and Ohio on Tuesday. Here's what to watch in those contests:"

I feel that Donald Trump and Hillary will be the winners of their respective parties. I feel that Cruz will drop out of the race and support Trump for the rest of the campaign.

Sanders will probably win a few in the midwest but I think Hillary will stay in front, trump as well. Cruz might drop out.

"Search giant could be prosecuted for not showing positive enough stories, president suggests"

"Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said Tuesday if a Supreme Court vacancy occurs during next year's presidential election, he would work to confirm a nominee appointed by President Donald Trump. That's a move that is in sharp contrast to his decision to block President Barack Obama's nominee to the high court following the death of Justice Antonin Scalia in February 2016."

"More than 370 former federal prosecutors who worked in Republican and Democratic administrations have signed on to a statement asserting special counsel Robert S. Mueller III's findings would have produced obstruction charges against President Trump - if not for the office he held."

"President Trump on Wednesday indicated that he had no solid evidence to support his declaration that former president Barack Obama ordered surveillance on his phones at Trump Tower in New York during last fall's campaign."

Trump is supplying the media with unjust accusations. He is drawing out something that's deemed "wrongful and problematic" yet has not presented anyone with any solid evidence or proof.

Trump said that he had just found out that Obama was tapping his wires but in the same tweet said that there was no proof of it actually happening. The man is just a joke trying to bring "FAKE NEWS" to his name. Using anything he can to use his twitter just like a pre-teen finding out more rumors.

"Democratic Rep. Al Green of Texas called for the impeachment of President Donald Trump Wednesday morning, the first member of Congress to officially request leveling charges against the President from the House floor."

"President Joe Biden on Sunday signed an executive order aimed at helping to ensure all Americans have the right to vote by increasing access to voter registration services and information."

I think this was a really good move and America should be grateful he's doing something beneficial.

I think it is good Biden is doing something to make voting better for everyone, especially for us since were going to be able to vote next election

This process took too long to complete before Trump left office. Now some feel that finishing the Senate trial is a waste of time. What do you think?

I think they should not try impeaching again because now that Trump is out of office they don't have to worry about whatever he does. America has several other huge problems and needs to focus all of its attention on getting life back to normal before worrying about a man that's not in any federal position.

Commenting of what ndvorak said here. I do, in fact, believe most politicians are criminals. Every politician that has not tried to use their powers to quell deaths during Covid, or tried to stop our shipments of weapons to Saudi Arabia, or tried to stop our use of drone warfare, they have blood on their hands.

"Donald Trump's unprecedented second impeachment trial begins on Tuesday 9 February in the Senate. He is the first US president to be impeached twice, and it is the first time an impeachment trial has been held against a former president"

In trumps rally he never openly said that his supporters should have stormed the capitol he said that they should "Fight like hell" and "Peacefully and "Patriotically Make your voices heard". A second impeachment isn't necessary.

Um, I think a second impeachment is very needed. Trump may have done good for the economy and we can thank him for that, but as a person he is horrid. The thing he says, does, posts, etc, he acts like a little 14-year-old girl and I would rather my country not be run by a child. Him being impeached TWICE says enough. The things you have to do to be impeached even once..

This was the best speech from the inauguration 2021. Now she's hinting at a run for President. 2036 is right around the corner ?!?

Her speech was very inspirational. The way she read it was really good

I could hardly tell that Amanda had a speech impediment! She delivered her speech so well

"Trump, who has fiercely guarded his tax filings and is the only president in modern times not to make them public, paid no federal income taxes in 10 of the past 15 years." Any idea why many Americans feel this is hypocritical of the President?
