Joe Biden knows who wears the pants in the White House — and apparently it isn't him.
The vice president was joking about the former administration during a fundraising dinner Wednesday in Florida, when he responded to a suggestion that President Bush leaned heavily on Vice President Cheney for guidance.
That's not how the Obama administration works, Biden reportedly told about 150 political donors at the Orlando event.
"He's the president, I'm the vice president. We've got the pecking order in this administration right," Biden said. "I know George Bush, and he's no Barack Obama."
Biden, known for his often embarrassing off-the-cuff remarks, was at the $1,000-a-plate event to rally support for Democratic Rep. Alan Grayson — who didn't hold back with his own quips at Biden's expense while poking fun at Bush and Cheney, according to a pool report on the event.

I know Joe Biden and he could be Homer Simpson..
Biden comparing an ex-Prez with a sitting Prez??? To what end? Even if the comparison were favorable... When Lloyd Benson zinged Dan Quayle at least it had an effect (for the Democrats). Even if Biden had a point, so what???
Biden has some serious problems when it comes to bass-ackwards reasoning.
He finally got something right.
What a lob blow! I think you owe Homer Simpson an apology.
The guzzillinair behind the whole democrat party...george soros. He wants to pop the bubble of American success and finances. Read “The Shadow Government” and “Rules for Radicals”.
Well, Obama is the most arrogant public official of my lifetime. And Biden, for all we joke about him, knows a LOT more about foreign policy than Obama. I remember reading something that Curt Weldon once wrote, saying he valued Biden’s help in foreign policy issues. While Biden’s not my choice for anything much, he’s a far sight better than Obama is in anything. Sad to say.
A Mamaluca is a adult who reasons as a small child would. They are stupid, lazy and lacking originality. A Mamaluca is a follower instead of a leader. He is unable to create his own material.
In a Pictorial Dictionary, Joe Biden's image might work if Mamaluca was a entry.
Gosh,Joe Biden(the stupidest man to ever serve in The US Senate(besides AlGore)actually paid Dubya a compliment!
Curt Weldon was useless in the US Congress and the fact that he lost in 2006 proves it.
Obama is no Bush? DUH!!!
Paging Captain Obvious!
“I know George Bush, and he’s no Barack Obama.”
Thank goodness. That’s a good thing.
I know. Pres. Bush had experience as both a businessman and a governor. He has integrity as individual. Whatever his flaws, President Bush is, by far, the better man.
I don’t agree. I think he was a GREAT loss. Sestak, his replacement, is a someone I’d like to see gone. Weldon lost because of the force and money Dems threw at him because he was so effective.
Biden is not worth a bucket of warm spit.
Did GWB reply, “why, that’s the nicest thing someone in the administration has said about me in a long time!”?
30 years of being wrong on foreign policy doesn’t exactly make him the “go to guy”. Sure, he may know more than Obama about how to conduct foreign policy, but then again so does the guy who sells soft pretzels on the street outside the White House.
I guess they just took the duct tape off his mouth....Time to put it back on.....
If Weldon is that good he can run again. I heard that he was under investigation but that was a while ago. If he is clean he should be good to go for 2010.
