President Obama has no intention of getting rid of Vice President Biden as his running mate, the White House said Thursday.

Republicans are being “ridiculous” and are trying to “distract attention” with their focus on Vice President Biden and his controversial comments earlier this week, White House press secretary Jay Carney said.

“They know that what they're saying about this is ridiculous," Carney said at a briefing with reporters, adding that it's an “obvious” attempt to take attention away from policy issues.

Hooray!...Slow Joe stays!

I’d lay odds that thunder thighs didn’t want the job.

I think Obama would ask Bill to be his VP.

[Timber Rattler]

And Palin poisoned Obama’s VP well too.

Until he has a mysterious heart attack.

Crazy Joe versus Cankles.

I think Cankles would make for a stronger ticket. Obama wants to give the impression that all is OK, so Crazy Joe stays.

I’m OK with that.

Because Obama doesn’t to want to wear every White House vase that would be thrown by Moochele.

Watta’ matter Barack, afraid of a gift of a lifetime pass for Fort Marcy Park escapades?

<< I think Obama would ask Bill to be his VP. >>

That would be unconstitutional. Of course, that never stopped Obama before. In any case, the very LAST thing that Obama wants is Bill Clinton in his administration, making him look even LESS presidential than he already does.

You won’t get a bet from me. Hillary only wants the top job. She will resign early into a second Obama term to prepare.

More good news.

[Never on my watch]

Whew! I really was uneasy about the potential switch. But it ain't over yet. There is plenty of time for Biden to screw this up.

My take is that Obama can not share the spotlight with someone like Hillary. He needs her as an employee, not a partner.

Because Obama doesn’t to want to wear every White House vase that would be thrown by Moochele.

Or getting "Ron Brown"ed.

[morphing libertarian]

IIRC you have to be qualified to be president to run for VP. Willie Clinton already had the maximum terms.

[MrB]

Might as well - 0bama in particular and the ‘rats in general have no regard for the Constitution, especially “eligibility” restrictions.

Bubba can’t be veep because he can’t be president.

Palin was awesome! She stopped that train dead on the tracks.

[BipolarBob]

This is a gift.

[spawn44]

That’s right Doc. They know the FOREIGNER is toast. They will run STOVEPIPE LEGS in 2016 hoping many have forgotten how bad his anti american socialist democratic regime has been. It ain’t gonna work anyhow.

[GeorgeWashingtonsGhost]

He’s LYING. You think he’d say he’s dropping Biden? That would ruin the SURPRISE, wouldn’t it?
