I swear, Biden is one funny VP. He knows what his job is, and how much clout he has, so he looks to be enjoying his gig. Cheney on the other hand, was all business. I guess it further shows the difference between the adults and the children.
“He knows what his job is...”
A couple of months ago he said it was fun being VP since as VP he doesn’t do anything.
Maybe somebody has the exact quote and can share.
Thank you.
Well to be fair Cheny was brought in for being an experienced statesmen and a veteran of key positions in past administrations. He helped run the first gulf war and W wanted to finish the job.
Biden was brought in specifically not to be a political threat, or potential successor, to Obama.
Both seem to serve their intended purposes.
HERE IT IS!!!! FOUND!!!!

Just moments before the afternoon session got underway, C-SPAN’s cameras picked up audio of Biden chatting casually with participants.
“It’s easy being vice president — you don’t have to do anything.”
Whomever Biden was chatting with said, “It’s like being the grandpa and not the parent.”
“Yeah, that’s it!” replied Biden.
