Mr. President, how about taking the next 2 days off and let V.P. Biden take over?

I think we'll get a better deal.

1. You don't get it. This is terrorism, not politics.

Under this terrorist threat, nobody can do anything until 2012.

7. This is the truth people at DU don't like to deal with, Biden would be THE SAME

under these circumstances.

[undeterred]

8. Maybe so, maybe not.

11. Jeez

:eyes:

12. Bullcrap. FDR faced a bona-fide COUP and stared them down. He "welcomed their hatred"

and thoroughly kicked their asses.

2. Well, it's still early, but this gets my vote as weird WTF post of the day.

[ChairmanAgnostic]

3. And, sorry to say, a better president.

I had such hope, it was so audacious of me, in retrospect. I dared dream of a progressive victory, and all I got was republicanism with great oratory.

[RagAss]

4. Me too..

:(

5. Biden's the one that does the in-the-trenches arm-twisting to ensure Congressional Dems back up...

...the President's backroom deals with the Repukes. If Obama had no influence on Biden because of something or the other, I believe Biden would have governed much differently. But he's being a "good" VP, which is doing what he's told to further the President's plans.

6. On CSPAN, last night, didn't McConnell say...

that he interrupted his discussion with VP Biden to come to the floor of the Senate?

Edit: Maybe I'm delusional at this stage...

9. Maybe they should let Bo and Sasha in the room just for fun.

[undeterred]

10. Maybe they should let Michelle and Hillary take over.
