Biden is more respected than you can know. I am an American, living now (ret.) in Mexico and I said to my husband, apx. 2 years ago, when I was pulling for Hillary, "watch...whoever wins the Democratic Primary, will be wise to pick Biden as VP"...and guess what? I was right.I've been listening to Biden for years now and though he can put his foot in his mouth at times, who doesn't? He is an on-the-fly kinda guy, but he is REAL.He had a very tragic start in politics(wife and 1 yr-old daughter killed in car crash just weeks after his being elected to the Senate) and he is a very loving father to his 2 sons by his deceased wife and to his little daughter and current wife, Jill.He actually has a very high IQ and is no dummy, believe me. Compare THAT to "W" for the last 8 years, lol...and compare how very EVIL Cheney and Rove have been and all that this current administration has gotten away with to what Obama/Biden can (and will) do in contrast.No comparison! Obama is making some very confident and wise choices for his cabinet, not the least of which is Hillary Clinton as Secretary of State.She will be much more welcomed by foreign dignataries and leaders that Condie Rice ever was.And she will be much more effective. Last of all, if (God Frobid!) anything were ever to happen to Obama,I have MUCH more confidence in Biden than EVER I would have in Palin! OMG! Biden has been chair of foreign relations for years and knows his way around this world.Rest easy Brit, this team will do all it can to help the economy as well as restore the faith of the USA in other nations. I don't know you well enough to know how often you're right, (newbie here) but on Biden, you're dead wrong, sorry. Thanks for allowing me to comment.

^ He is a nice guy. But, I don't let nice guys fix my plumbing, let alone think he could be a commander in chief of the US. Sorry, disagree. But welcome to TD.

Agree with your post, even if I do not know much about Biden.

But prefering Biden over Palin does not say much. I would chose Forrest Gump as VP over Palin for sure.

Not taken in a sexual context as that would be disturbing. . .

Why would you not let a nice guy plumber fix your plumbing? Oil and water?

But seriously, I don't get the analogy . . . a nice guy can't be a good plumber?

A nice guy can't be a good politician?

Mad Joe is at it again inspiring confidence wherever he goes.

“If we do everything right, if we do it with absolute certainty, there’s still a 30 percent chance we’ll get it wrong,” he told the lawmakers at their policy retreat in Williamsburg, Va

Update on Bozo the Veep:

YouTube - Real Man of Genius: Joe Biden

panama hat · 26-02-2009, 09:04 AM

By all accounts he did very well in Germany last week, but that doesn't fit into your views of things.

Jet Gorgon · 26-02-2009, 09:44 AM

^ So Joe said. The Euros may not have caught his gaffes and the travelling press were likely warned that that trip would be their last with the VP if they blabbed. Biden opens his gob to speak without a prepped speech in front of him, he gaffes.

Vice President Joe Biden met with U.S. military families at an air base in Great Britain as he returned to the U.S. from an international conference in Germany.

Biden told those gathered Sunday at the base in eastern England that he got a good reception from world leaders.
...
The vice president joked that reporters traveling with him were waiting for him to say something wrong. He turned to his press contingent and said, "I'm only kidding, guys -- I never say anything wrong."

Biden Jokes: "I Never Say Anything Wrong"

OKAY...

Here's another snippet.of Joe.

Don't worry. Everything's fine with Vice President Biden.
As The Ticket reported, he was just a little confused earlier today when he referred to going to Berlin.
Fortunately, his Air Force pilot knew where the party was really going -- Munich.

No, not for a funeral yet. There's a military security conference going on there and Biden's speaking. He landed in a dense fog about 2 a.m. local time Saturday and went straight to his hotel. No beer gardens for the VP.

Well, he had a prepared speech and didn't really have to say anything smart at the conference.

Earlier in the day in Virginia, Biden appeared at the same Democratic retreat as the president last night. Biden shared with everyone his impression of his new travel digs, no longer Amtrak, but Air Force Two.
"That's a nice plane," he said. "I always voted for public housing. Who knew it would be this good?"
Don't worry. All's well. Joe Biden got to the right German city OK | Top of the Ticket | Los Angeles Times

What a goof.

What a strange word you call reality. So, now Europeans aren't sufficiently proficient in English to understand speech and issues alluded to or referenced?

I think you missed the self-deprecatory point here, Jet.

What a dark, frightening and one-sided world you live in.

Doesn't fit into anyone's version of 'thing's' w/respect to Bozo the Veep. We're fucked- if BO gets impeached you get Bozo and if Bozo's out of the picture ya got Pelosi. My G_D! Really fucked or what!!!

attaboy · 28-02-2009, 05:14 AM

^Haha. Those pink smilies remind me of a shrieking CODEPINK crowd.

Biden and his Ash Wedenesday smudge. When he put on his makeup for the television lights did he reapply the smudge?

attaboy · 28-02-2009, 05:17 AM

Is religion ok as long as your gang steers it? Is that how the left is comfortable with Obama being openly religious and now his dopey sidekick Joe doing his act?

Boon Mee · 28-02-2009, 05:20 AM

Another day, another Joe Biden gaffe. Nice to know that this punk, who can’t track employment numbers is in charge of the stimulus.

Go figure...

attaboy · 28-02-2009, 05:30 AM

Clinton used to pull so much shit that people eventually got tired of hearing about it and eventually became resentful of people pointing out another of Clinton's transgressions. The term "Clinton fatigue" was coined.

Maybe Joe's angle is to be so stupid that people will tune him out. People won't listen to him or what people say about him. Maybe this is some sort of standard operating procedure Clinton has trained Democrats in? I don't know. I'm only trying to make sense of Joe.

Boon Mee · 28-02-2009, 05:31 AM

And tell me again how much better this dick is than Sarah Palin!

panama hat · 28-02-2009, 09:27 AM

You're quite pathetic, BM . . .

You'll have to elaborate on that PH.

In what specific ways is Mad Joe aka Bozo the Veep a better Vice President than say a good, conservative family values person such as Sarah Palin?
