Washington (CNN)Vice President Joe Biden received President Barack Obama's "blessing" to make a 2016 bid for the White House, according to a senior Democrat.
But that's if Biden chooses to run -- the decision is his. While he doesn't need the President's permission, of course, a potential presidential candidacy was among the topics of their lunch Monday at the White House. The President made clear he would not stand in his way or counsel him against a run, the senior Democrat said.
"As a general rule, we are not going to confirm the Vice President's private meetings or provide a readout of them," an aide to the Vice President told CNN on Monday.
Dunn, a former White House communications director, and Bauer, a longtime lawyer to Obama, were among those invited to a meeting at the Naval Observatory in Washington. Ted Kaufman, a loyal Biden confidant who briefly occupied his Senate seat from Delaware, was also among those gathering to discuss how -- not whether -- Biden could run, if he decides to do so.
The Vice President was expected to huddle at his residence Monday night with Anita Dunn and Bob Bauer, the husband-and-wife team who have been at Obama's side for much of the last decade, two people familiar with the meeting told CNN. Steve Ricchetti, the Vice President's chief of staff, was also expected to attend.

War between the Clintons and Obamas…???
Biden is a clown . He is a total buffoon. Trump will beat him like a red headed step child.
There is no love lost between owebama and the krintoons.
Joe Biden: I put my pants on one arm at a time.
Well, Biden is hosed because everything Obama touches turns to shit.
This will be most interesting election in my history that is for sure!
So all those wacky liberals who were panicked about Palin not having the intellectual capacity to serve as VP are now perfectly fine with Joe Biden as president.
The kiss of death for the Democrats in 2016
The majority of Americans are counting the days until this regime packs up and leaves D.C., and that includes Uncle Joe. We need more of the same policies that we have suffered under for another 4 years? I think not.
You're likable enough but I like Joe better.
I don't know... Joe is pretty sharp when he's not drunk.
That is great. Joe is a sweet old buffoon . I like him. He is so far from where we are going here it is big smile amusing.
I expected this. If Biden runs and wins, Obama and Jarrett will control him completely, so it will amount to a third term for Obama.
