Joe Biden Takes Another Week Off!
2012-08-07
[Weekly Standard] Joe Foreign Policy Whiz Kid Biden
The former Senator-for-Life from Delaware, an example of the kind of top-notch Washington intellect to be found in the World's Greatest Deliberative Body...
 is taking another week off.
Get used to it, Joe, it's how the next four years will be for you in retirement as former vice-president, whether Champ wins in November or not...
According to his official White House schedule, "The Vice President and Dr. Jill Biden will be in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware. There are no public events scheduled." Just one month ago, Biden and his wife, Dr. Jill Biden, took the week of July 4 to vacation. That vacation was also spent at Rehoboth Beach, Delaware.

Biden's second week-long vacation in as many months is likely to fuel speculation that President Barack Obama
They get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren't like them...
is considering dropping the veteran politician from the ticket this election. Biden's frequent errors and gaffes in office and on the campaign trail have been the source of much consternation for the B.O. regime, and have resulted in strong calls for Biden to be dropped from the ticket.

#11  Dr. Jill Biden sez, “If Joe is writing, heÂ’ll be plagiarizing, but at least at home here in Delaware; thatÂ’ll be OK”.

#10  They [Obama and company] took away his First Amendment rights--got him under wraps until the election.

#9  Let's face it, the only job the vice president has is to wake up aliveevery morning and ask if the president is stll alive. If so, he can do whatever he wants.

#8  Biden as VP is not/would not be good 'life insurance' for Obama (like Cheney was for Bush), but neither would he be dangerous like a VP Hillary might be (as, according to some, Johnson was for JFK.)

#4  a Joe Biden book would have to have pop-ups, right?

#3  I think the current strategy and 2016 set-up all along may have been at some point, to bring the Hildebeast on board as the VP. Besides mutual loathing, what could Joe and Jill possibly have in common with FLOTUS, Val, and Axelrod? I suspect they've reached the 'no turning back' point now however, and Champ's lagging position in the polls will not permit a change. Add to that the fact the Hildebeast would certainly not want to be running with a loser. So now we have a frustrated Champ, a muted Joe Biden, a reluctant spokesman in Slick Willie, and an orbiting Hildebeast dancing with dairy farmers and dodging African bees. All in all, I could not be happier. I anxiously await Biden's book.
