I thought we were done with VP's running the country from behind the scenes?

I will give credit for an excellent pick on the dog Vice President Biden. Odd that it came from Texas but I am sure you had your reasons.

How long before the slimey rightwingnut mouthpieces (Oh, you know who they are) begin to translate that as Biden making decisions for the inexperienced OBAMA? BTW...how do you like your "bipartisan" compromises NOW that the swine flu (BREAKING NEWS) story is out and about = good news for CNN/MSNBC/FAUX NEWS...and it will also push all other news off the pages/airwaves because, Lordy, we can't pay attention to more than one thing at a time!!!!!

[Deparis]

Let Joe be Joe! Keep it up, Mr. Vice President!

[RightWingMarine]

it makes sense that Obama would seek Biden's advice. As a junior Senator he would have sought the advice of a senior member being elected President didn't make Obama any less green.

Smart government = seeking input from your knowledgeable team

Stupid government = God told me

[swlewis57]

Asked if Biden argues with him, Obama said, "You know, Joe's not afraid to tell me what he thinks. And that’s exactly what I need, and exactly what I want."

VP Biden and his wife seem like real good folks. Keep up the good work Mr. Vice President.

[roshni]

They are good folks as are the Obamas. We lucked out this time.

[caywen]

It's comforting to see all these neocons coming out of the woodwork to bash our VP. Must mean he's doing a good job.

Keep it up, Joe! You're great and the majority of the non-nut jobs support you.

[landstar]

Which would translate your approval of Cheney?! ..."coming out of the woodwork to bash our VP.Must mean he's doing a good job." Your words!!! heeheeheehee

[DontJustFollow]

play nice - - -

[MyUserName]

Which would translate your approval of Cheney?! ..."

Oh My Gosh ..you're right

Hypothetically, that would also mean that Sara Palin would have been ONE HECK OF AN EXCELLENT VP!!!

[JoeTheBlogger]

why is this "news?" prez obama promise vp biden that he would be in on all major decisions. are we so trained on politicians who do not keep their promise to the point that if some one keeps his promises he makes the news? oh, how sad!

[Kody Garza]

I think it was nice to see how candid they are with each other. Did you read the article?

[graceland9]

Love me some Joe Biden.

[BlueBoomer]

Joe Biden epitomizes the "servant" in public servant (vs. all those who are actually "self-servants"), honesty and truth in politics and an infectious affection in/for life...we could hardly do better.

God bless ya' , Joe.

[Lemmy]

Hee hee . . . apparently you have no idea what goes on in Delaware.

[landstar]

Any 'public servant' who has made a career out it should be embarrassed, not proud! Term Limits

[DontJustFollow]

when politics is your career you are making a mockery of what our founding fathers intended.

government is only viewed as a business by the corrupt and innept.

ask defense lawyers which heading VP Biden falls under...

[mollyjackson]

Now we know where Obama is going wrong.

[noneIn2008]

Keep a muzzle on him.

[graceland9]

Why? Did he sho.ot someone in the face and I didn't hear about it?

[Lemmy]

Joe Biden is all about . . . Joe Biden.

[jaydeedub]

The Veep is a good guy. He likes people and people like him. Too much is made of his so called "gaffes". For as long as he has been in public life there has not been any major scandal pinned on him.

Keep it real Joe.

[RainbowPhoenix]

30 years/0 scandals. 2 years/12 scandals. And people actually try to compare Palin to Biden?

[vesaversa1]

President Obama should consult with his experience VP .

[Gmoney1]

This is really not a story - Obama and Biden told us this when Biden was selected as vp - and it's a good thing - not like that Cheney/Bush admin where Cheney entirely ran the show -

[MargaretO]

Biden is a good man. A great American. I'm so happy President Obama selected him.
