#1 You know the 1 is a lair... does this qualify as "faint praise" ?

#2 Obama: 'Biden Will Go Down In History As One Of The Best Vice Presidents Ever'

Quite honestly, I don't believe the Champ is qualified to make such an assessment. In fact, I am certain he is not. He's simply issuing an unsolicited heaping of praise, in the hopes that some of might somehow fall on him. After all, everything is about him.

#3 Yes, this about himself. Had he picked someone who was bright, ambitious, and capable, you don't think there would be elements within his own party right now thinking about the process of putting the alternative into the White House to save their collective pathetic butts? Even posters here at the Rant have mentioned how bad Biden would be as an alternative. So in the chess game of power, from the Champs view that makes the man one of the best vice presidents ever.

#4 Yes, praising the dunce not only makes the dunce feel good, it lowers an already very low bar.

#5 I should not have been, but I was amazed at how adeptly he managed to insert a portion of his own Horatio Alger story into his brief, televised eulogy to kameraad Mandela. This fellow's narcissism absolutely knows no bounds.

#6 If history started yesterday joe would still not be consider the best.

Future joke: what does Obama and Mandela have in common? The both are communists who spent 27 years in jail.

#7 This missed irony (missed by all but Mandela himself), prison rehabilitation can actually work. Being confined on a rather isolated albeit safe island, actually permitted him to study, reflect, and survive the violence of the revolution. I wonder how many of Mandela's colleagues lived to be 95, surrounded by adoring family and media at death ?

#8 Says who? Obunmbles? We know he LIES. (And lies, and lies, and Lies, He has no shame, and he thinks it doesn't matter, Cause he's God, bullshit.)

Further, He thinks "I don't lie.", which is a lie itself.

I don't listen, that burns him.

#9 An interesting take Besoeker, rings true.

#10 One of the most expensive, anyways.

#11 "Joe, just sit in the corner and shut up and you will go down in history as one of the best VPs in ever."

#12 I think Obama picked Biden as a life insurance policy.

I can see the conspirators saying "Hey, let's knock off Obama". Other conspirator: "Yeah, but if we do, we end up with Biden as president". First conspirator: "You're right. Forget it. Let's go golfing instead".

Attention Secret Service/NSA: The above is a joke. I am in no way advocating or planning any kind of assassination or violence against the president or any other official.
