biden because we know joe and we love joe in delaware. it's just the way joe is. but i have to say as an american, i think he has been one hell of a great vice president and done a great job as vice president and he has brought a lot of experience and wisdom and just good common sense and fun to the obama at minstration. he has become -- he has again into a very very strong and powerful counselor to the president. i think particularly in areas like in afghanistan, in iraq see joe biden hand in those sdeshingsz not taking anything away from president obama, just giving credit where it's due to the vice president. so i also, in light of that i cannot believe what people are making about this comment yes biden made three days ago and what prompted me to talk about this was going to the white house briefing yesterday, which i do whenever there is one and the questions of reporters, all they wanted to talk about was joe biden. is he going to be still on the ticket? is the president pissed off at him? did the president call him up? da da did a.
