In a rare move, the White House opened up the weekly lunch between Obama and Biden to photographers Wednesday, prompting speculation that the administration was trying to gloss over a brutal 24 hours for Obama’s number two. “You can decide for yourself what you want to believe,” White House press secretary Jay Carney said Wednesday, calling the timing of the photo access

SlowJoe is actually raising money to run in 2016.
I figure he’ll last to the Iowa caucus, LOL.

Remember, they said "...of his time...". Think of who they're comparing him to:

Hilary Clinton, John Kerry, John McCain, Barack Obama, Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi

With competition like that, it's entirely [possible he is one of the leading statesmen of his time.
