Stumping for Minnesota Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D) in Minneapolis today, Joe Biden said that President Obama had to basically beg him to jump on the ticket as vice president.
“I said, honestly, I don’t want to be vice president,” Biden said. “I will do anything I can to help you, but I don’t want to be vice president.”
“Please, go home and talk to your family about it and get back to me as soon as you can,” he said Obama told him.
Biden, who has run twice for president including in 2008, called on “an old friend and someone I admire as much as anyone I have ever served with, Vice President Mondale,” who was also at the fundraiser.
“You have one purpose, that’s to serve the president, to serve the president,” Biden said Mondale told him.
According to the White House pool report, the vice president then turned his speech toward Minnesota’s other senator, Al Franken (D).
“Let me tell you, he is deadly serious,” Biden said of those who may have doubted Franken’s chops from his SNL career. “He has been one of the leading legal scholars.”
Biden said Obama and Klobuchar will both win in November because they’re about fairness while Republicans “are all about no rules and no accountability.”
“First time, the other team is not hiding the ball,” he said, drawing laughter. “They are saying exactly what they believe. As my mother would say, God bless them.”
He has always dreamed of being a standup comedian.
The fact that Barack was clean and articulate, and was not the owner of a 7-11, clinched it for Slow Joe.
Like have his AG son, Beau, take care of a little problem Obama was having with Larry Sinclair?
I’m going out on a limb and predicting that Obama will pick a new VP, and he/she will be a lefty.
Wow I agree with Joe. I never wanted him to be VP either or a Senator or even a Plagerist. I always thought of him as a 7-11 clerk.
This contradicts what he said a few years ago that Obama offered him VP or Sec of State in 08, if he didn’t want to be VP, he could’ve just been Sec of State.
Joe contradicting himself? Say it ain’t so! :o)
Joe Xerox Biden is an example of The Peter Principle.
I can’t imagine an intelligent discussion resulting in him as The Choice, unless it was strictly a matter of life insurance.
Biden needs his own show on tv! Gems like these need more air time!
This is one sick dude. He’s a heartbeat away from sitting behind the desk in the oval office. Guess he’d be safer for all of us than the radical we have now.
BTW, I went to school with his wife. Eeeeeeewwwwww what a POS
That’s this weeks BS. Tee up toot-a-loo, Joe
In a month Zer0 will tell us that Joe wants out!
In a month and two days he will announce Hitlery as his VP running mate.
Also note that today Hitlery had to remind all of us about the tense time in the WH whilst the Seals raided Ob’ys compound. Gotta remind the unwashed about our hard nosed hero - Zer0! Needed more first page face time!

I am jealous. I am a pharmacist and do not have access to the GOOD STUFF that Joe is using. :(
The best that tax dollars can buy. Price is no object.
You win the prize. That’s exactly what’s happening.
He’s laying the ground work for when he “graciously declines” to be on the Ticket in November and Hillary will take his place.
Words escape me.
So Joe, when you were begged to take the job, were you down on Union Street in Wilmington at Katie’s restaurant or were you just hanging out at Home Depot?
LMAO... Biden considers Al Franken “one of the leading legal scholars”!!!
Biden is crazier than a bedbug on crack. I think they put the plugs in way too deep.
If he's just talking about Democrat Senators, he's probably right! LOL!
Giving Obama two years and one day to live...Obama
Hillary!™
2012
Agreed. LOL
LOL!
I think I will sign off for the night with that image. Better to laugh than cry, and Biden certainly is the jester in this ongoing tragedy.
This idiot will be kicked out as VP candidate—this is nothing more than his attempt of face saving—I didn’t want to be VP anyway...
The youtube of Larry Sinclair was on twitter and one Fox News contributor, Erik Rush and a Hannity caller were kind of shocked. But the one Hannity radio caller said Sinclair sounded very legitimate to her and she was going to find more on it.
I think all of Obama’s past should be looked at. There are several incidences where it appears Obama was engaged in gay activities.
Chicago bath house rumors.
The gays in Reverend Wrights church. Murdered.
Larry Sinclair of course. (add to Sinclairs credibility Obama’s admitted drug use) Beau Biden trumped up charges to keep him out of Obama’s way. That can be checked out and I think it is true. What do you call it when a AG makes his own rules and imprison someone on trumped up charges? Not a Republic.
Obama’s Occidental male college roommate and one college acquaintance thought they were a couple.
Then the bizarre story of a woman hearing Obama having sex with another man as she was walking down a dark hallway. Obama and the other man peeked around the door at her and she recognized him. She smelled a horrible odor which some have surmised was a drug gays use during sex. The woman passed away.
Then last week Van Jones said Obama could come out as gay and he wouldn’t lose the black vote. Does he know something is coming out? Maybe not intentionally. But maybe they were warned someone is going to talk?! I hope so. I will laugh my a** off.
If Obama is bisexual or gay,then he can add bigots with his racist comments to those who oppose him.
Are people working on this “gay thing” with Obama? I pray that ALL of this will come out. The Mormon Church has the money and the resources to expose it; if it’s there. They are also “genealogy” people. They could settle the “birther” issue once and for all. I tell people: Don’t count Romney and the 6 Million American Mormons out of this thing. They are a source to be reckoned with.
