Will Clinton outshine VPE Biden
This is not concern, I was just wondering how VPE Biden is taking the news. He was supposed to be the foreign policy star.

to have considerable input on foreign policy and on some of these cabinet appointments, even if we're not aware of it.

22. So... you're saying you think Obama's a wuss?

Some people need to get their head out of their asse. Obama is the P-E and HE will set the tone for HIS administration.

Get a fuckin' clue.

4. It's not a competition. They all want what is best for our country
and I believe they will work hard together as a team.

plenty of credit. Why wouldn't the Clintons stay on really good terms with the guy who would be responsible for picking the new vp if something terrible (which they often mentioned in the primary) were to happen?

18. That comment was in poor taste.
Furthermore, Biden and the Clintons have been friends far longer than Biden and Obama.

:(

7. He is the Foreign policy star!
He probably has forgotten more about Foreign policy, than Hillary Clinton ever even knew.

21. yes
i think Biden is expected to take on the foreign policy area more than most VPs including things that sec of state and others are usually expected to do.

i don't think Obama would have picked Hillary for SOS if he didn't have a foreign policy star for vp.

8. They are both stars. Expect to see them both in the field a lot.
Probably often together.

11. Media sells Clinton as the greatest marathoner alive, yet can't find one marathon she ran.
Edited on Fri Nov-21-08 04:30 PM by blm
Biden, on the other hand, has led or shared the lead on a number of foreign policy issues over the last two decades.

foreign policy. I think Biden will be fine. He did not want to be the foreign policy star. He wanted to be a partner with Biden and probably will be, while Hillary will be stuck following Obama's foreign policy orders.

16. The Democratic party has 3 supernovas, the rest come far behind.
Hillary, Bill and Barack would outshine any other Democrat.

17. Biden has as much or more foreign policy experience as any other Democrat.
He's not going to be outshone.

And, as VP, his area of advice is much broader than foreign policy.

20. Joe Biden is his own man and sure of himself. Hdse also has
strong enough personality --no one is going to overshadow him.

Besides he and Hillary genuinely like each other --this is a good thing.
