Joe Biden is hilarious but I'm still really confused that he's our VP. What possible political advantage did he ever bring to the Obama campaign? Biden has been a joke for 20 years. I have a hard time thinking of a Democrat who would be a worse running mate for Obama in terms of what he brings to the table.

Same reason Dukakis picked Bentsen, Clinton chose Gore, Romney picked Ryan, and Cheney picked himself:  governors, outsiders and inexperienced community activists need men with experience on the Hill.

Biden may be a goof, but he knows the Hill.

On top of that, I think Biden appeals a lot to blue collar union types who might have lukewarm feelings about Obama.

Which is why Obama reminds me somewhat of JFK, though he's not such a flawed individual, nor rabble rouser, yet  by the same token Biden ain't nearly as good a political operator as LBJ.

Biden my not be an LBJ, but I don't doubt that he knows all the ins & outs of congress and would be good at helping set up deals for Obama.  Problem is Obama doesn't seem to want to make use of that.

19 job bills killed and counting. 360 filibusters for 2012 and counting.  30 meaningless votes to overturn Obamacare and counting.  "Personhood" amendments attached to drought relief farm bills and counting.

I hope you and all your fetus friends are having fun.

For all we know both sides don't want to talk to eachother honestly. But the House GOPs are just being dicks because Obama is black.

Yeah, Obama really is reaching out & trying to make deals with congress.  How did the votes on his budget proposals turn out? Sure he got at least the Dems to vote yea, right??

It's easier for you to blame the black guy.  I can appreciate that.

C'mon they've stated their strategy and followed through with it.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Publicly, yeah.  But according to Woodward's book they tried to cut deals with Obama until he poisoned the well.

You mean that one thing where he said mean things about Ryan while Ryan was in the audience?

Who knew Republicans were such delicate creatures.
