Biden Hasn't Ruled Out Third Run for White House
FoxNews ^ | 6/14/09 | AP

WASHINGTON -- Vice President Joe Biden isn't ruling out his own presidential aspirations. The two-time presidential candidate says the current lineup is the right one, with Biden as President Barack Obama's No. 2. The vice president says he is a close adviser to Obama and is satisfied with his role in the administration. For instance, Biden says he reacted to Supreme Court nominees as a veteran senator. Now, he gets to help pick them. But he says he still has his eye on the Oval Office. Biden is 66 years old and would be 73 on Election Day in 2016. Biden unsuccessfully sought the Democratic nomination in 1988 and again in 2008. Biden appeared Sunday on NBC's "Meet the Press."

How much you wanna bet he does not even make it through the first term?

And if HilLIARy get picked to replace him Obama better keep a close guard on that birth certificate.

...And his civilian brown shirts, the Black Panthers, and ACORN will quash the rebellion.

That's a dance they really don't want to attend.

Biden already appears to be a clear liability to Marxist Obama and his "team".

I would not be surprised if Obama and his political officers didn't contrive some sort of excuse (think fake medical issue here) to wedge the mind-wandering Veep out before the 2012 elections.

Maybe Barack and Colin Powell will go for it.

Or perhaps Ahmabaddyehairjob from Iran will be the VP. Killer, eh?

Biden is stupid. There can be no dispute about that. You wouldn’t even want him as an employee in any capacity. He’s vain, dishonest, and prone to say stupid things all the time.

He makes Hillary look smart.

He makes Barbara Boxer look smart, and that’s hard to do.

Yo Dog.

I completely agree with you that Boxer is not at all S.M.A.R.T.

Respectfully, I would say that Hillary is very smart. Not brilliant, but a smart and well-schooled in the Alinsky dogma.

Believe it or not, Biden is also pretty smart. He seems to have an undisciplined (delusional?) thought process, however. I'm no expert; however I do wonder if his two intracranial aneurysms may have left him without thorough capacity for self-control.

I will grant you that Hillary is not stupid. I think Biden is.

Hillary has very bad judgment. She is not wise. Wisdom and intelligence are not the same thing, although we often treat them as such.

Biden has no wisdom whatsoever. Plus he’s stupid.

Hillary is intelligent, conniving and not wise.

IOW, the GOP candidate will get more votes, but Obama wins the election.

Well, if you mean the GOP gets more votes by living, legal citizens who only voted once, then probably yes. But Obama will get more votes.
