When I began my last piece on Paul Ryan saying that "in the 42nd month of the Obama presidency Mitt Romney announced that 42 year old Paul Ryan would be his vice presidential running mate" I attached no special significance to the number 42 treating the coincidence as meaningless. And meaningless it would be if it weren't for a number of discoveries I made in the past few days related to this number and the US vice presidency-signalling, I believe, that Ryan will be the next VP restoring integrity and sanity to the office. These discoveries are as follows:
1) Joe Biden and D-ic-k. Cheney, the current VP and his predecessor, were born in 1942, the 42nd year of the 20th century, exactly, precisely and amazingly 42 WEEKS APART, hence:
January 30, 1942 (Cheney's birth) to November 20, 1942 (Biden's birth) = 9 months and 21 days, or 294 days, or exactly 42 weeks (42x7 = 294).
2) On the very day Paul Ryan was born (January 29, 1970) Walter Mondale, Jimmy Carter's VP and the 42nd in US history, was 24 days into his 42nd year having celebrated his birthday on January 5th*. This looks like a sign of destiny.
*Mondale was born January 5, 1928.
3) On January 20, 2013, when Paul Ryan, I believe, will be sworn in as Mitt Romney's VP not only will he be 42 years old but from his birth to that day will be a total of 2242 weeks: the 42nd number of the 22 hundred series, hence:
January 29, 1970 (Ryan's birth) to January 20, 2013 = 42 years, 11 months and 22 days, or 15,697 days which comes to 2242 weeks (rounded down).
These three discoveries by themselves, and especially the second, are enough to suggest that Providence is at work in making Paul Ryan the next Vice President after Biden and Cheney. But there is more.
4) When Paul Ryan takes his vice presidential oath it won't be the first time in US history that a 42 year old Republican politician (whose surname begins with "R") becomes Vice President. The first was Teddy Roosevelt, William McKinley's VP, who was sworn into office on March 4, 1901 exactly 1342 months before Inauguration Day 2013, hence:
March 4, 1901 to January 20, 2013 = 111 years, 10 months and 16 days, or 1342 months (111x12 = 1332+10 = 1342).
ODDS AND ENDS
The day Paul Ryan was born was the 127th anniversary of William McKinley's birth*. McKinley, like Romney a Republican governor, was the 25th President of the United States. Should Romney be sworn in as President, as I believe he will be, he'll be the 45th in American history, a number like 25 ending in 5. The last President whose presidency number ended in 5 was our 35th President, John F. Kennedy the last politician from Massachusetts to be President.
*McKinley was born January 29, 1843.
When Paul Ryan replaces clownish, imbecile, gaffe-a-million Joe Biden as Vice President he will be the 48th VP in US history working in the 19th Republican Administration. When Romney publicly announced that Ryan would be his running mate it was the 1299th day of the floundering Obama presidency. Significantly, 1299 is a factor of the number 19485 15x.
D-ic-k Cheney became the 46th Vice President elect in the year 2000. Amazingly, 1299x154 generates the six digit number 2000-46.
And lastly, if Mitt Romney defeats Obama come November, as I believe he will, he'll be sworn in 45th President in 2013. Another indication of just how unlucky was August 11th, Obama's 1299th day, is that when 1299 is multiplied by 155 it produces the six digit number 2013-45. Another unhappy sign for the one term loser-in-chief and his crazy VP.

Signs That Biden Is Hurting Obama's Reelection Campaign
This morning I ran the following experiment to see if there were additional signs indicative of Joe Biden's detrimental impact on Obama's reelection campaign. If you recall Obama began his campaign on April 4, 2011, the 43rd anniversary of Martin Luther King's assassination-a profoundly and disturbingly inauspicious day for America's first black president. I then counted the number of years, months, weeks and days between Joe Biden's birth and the birth of Obama's and Biden's campaign, and this is what I discovered using months instead of days:
November 20, 1942 (Biden's birth) to April 4, 2011 = 68 years, 4 months and 15 days, or 820 months.
820x48 = 39360, 39 and 36 are symbols of the 39th and 36th presidents Jimmy Carter and Lyndon Johnson. Carter, the last one term president, was defeated by Ronald Reagan in 1980; Johnson, a failed president had one full term and withdrew from the presidential race in 1968. Now watch this:
840x39 = 31980 giving us the year 1980.
840x24 = 19680 giving us the year 1968 when the unsavory Richard Nixon beat the very likable Hubert Humphrey in a tight race. Anyway you look at it Joe Biden is a drag on Obama, and is anything but an asset for November 6th.
