Once you’ve spent the time to train your lap-dog to roll over, sit, bark on que, it’s hard to replace them with a younger pooch.

And besides, with the Biden Gaff factory in full production, it takes pressure off Obama to be a perfect speaker. Compared to Biden, he looks positively mediocre, and for Obama these days, that’s a win.

For all the talk by the Left of being afraid of our candidates because they were supposedly dumb, Biden is the only guy to date that has seriously caused me to fear for the nation if he was ever called upon the make the hard call.

Yep, and you know damn well that Hillary would be his death panel. I can’t imagine what it would be like to live with a Clinton as your successor in the event of death—talk about keeping your head on a swivel.

In my former hi tech ex-company the CEO and the VPs would announce that “employees are our most important asset” just before AND after a layoff.

This is great! Now, every time Biden says something stupid (which is every time he speaks), the GOP can pile on, asking if Obama's going to kick him off the ticket now? Obama is then forced to defend Biden's idiocy because he's now painted into a corner where replacing Biden is giving in to his opposition.

As a bank shot, this means that the Obama campaign can't keep Biden under wraps either, because hiding him from view will only fuel speculation that he's going to dump Biden. So that means more Biden out in public, which means more gaffes.

Obama: “look. Presidents make a lot of enemies. I’ve got a great stash going and after this gig I am planning for fun. A lot of fun. Biden is MY ObamaCare. I don’t wanna mess up my great future here.”

Obama wants people to know that he is behind Joe Biden. 1000%.

Is this like George Steinbrenner (or many sports team owners) saying that he has full & complete confidence in his General Manager, only to have the axe fall shortly thereafter?!

I believe it's called "the kiss of death". (figuratively, not literally)

“White House says Obama will stick with Biden as running mate.”

FOR NOW.

I like that the administration is now on the DEFENSIVE for a change. We need to keep picking the scab while there’s blood trickling into the water. This will bring the sharks.

That is a scary thought. There's been some speculation that the administration will create a false flag event like a phony attempt on Obama's life. What if they take out Joe instead? That would garner the sympathy for Obama that they want, give the news media an opportunity to run with the conservative nutjob meme again, remove Biden from the ticket, and allow Obama to select a new VP.

I wonder where Carney got the idea that Biden is safe? The word from the Capital (Chicago) is that the Head Man (Axelrod) issued a No Comment on the subject.

Somebody needs to call Valerie Jarrett and get to the bottom of this.
