In case you haven’t noticed, President Obama and his vaunted PR machine are orchestrating a full-court press to boost the presidential stock of his loyal vice president, Joe Biden.
It is not clear whether Biden will seek the Oval Office next time -- he will be 73 years old when 2016 rolls around. But just in case, the political foundation is carefully being laid and the public expectation is being buttressed by White House strategists, and dutifully documented by the media. “Biden stokes talk of presidential campaign in 2016,” said a headline in Sunday’s Washington Examiner.
Since the Obama-Biden re-election in November, the loquacious vice president has been all over the place, doing everything from the ceremonial (attending the Army-Navy football game in Philadelphia) to the monumental: leading a high-profile presidential task force on gun violence that will make recommendations to Obama on Tuesday.
Thanks to the president putting him in charge, rather than someone such as the FBI director or a prominent jurist, the work of the task force -- a big deal since the Newtown, Conn., shootings last month -- has given the vice president a lot of face time on television. He met last week, amid much media hoopla and commentary, with groups such as the NRA, video-game executives and representatives of the entertainment industry.

Ah, it’s not a Biden candidacy the scares me to death, it’s the GOP-e who will labor tirelessly to rig the Primary so that an even bigger GOP dunderhead get nominated... and loses.
Yeah, because politicians that promote gun control are SOOOOOOO popular in flyover..
It’s a smokescreen. Current “health problems” notwithstanding, Hillary will be the next dem nominee. And unfortunately there’s not a Repub in sight who will come close to defeating her.
I completely agree. This country has entered the age of one-party rule. The presidential election will be decided in the democrat primary. Republican opposition will be token, and seen as an opportunity for retiring senators to get a few months in the limelight as a gesture of appreciation for "decades of service to America." Hell, the GOP for the most part operates that way anyway.
lol
zero heck! less than zero percent chance Biden EVER becomes president.
He is a complete joke, even to liberals.
* snicker *
That’s great. The GOP can run a sock puppet full of puke and piss, and that sock will win against this imbecile.
We said that about barry too. Right now I think he would be a shoe in.
Everybody spread your legs!!
Darn tootin', it takes a Presidential Executive Order :)~
I never thought the magic negro would win. What the hell do I know?
Joe the drunk Biden sounds just about as illogical
Cripes!

.... Sadly .... that is what the GOP said about the current resident in the Oval Office. As you may recall ... That didn't turn out so well. In order to unseat the current party from leadership, The GOP will need to work together as something called a "Team."
... Apparently the Grand Old Party is flummoxed by that term which has apparently become anethema to them. We are definitely going to need more than a collective bunch of dysfunctional adorational popularity seekers to persuade the so called "Low Information" public to give up all of the socialized "Stuff" that the Prez is plundering this country to give them.
The RATs would never nominate him.
