Well because he's the perfect foil for the president I mean he is.
-- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- I when he puts his foot in his mouth if he does that and I always wonder to myself when I watch Joseph Biden how much of that is deliberate.
I he's -- -- -- -- that everybody focuses on one he's the one who takes attention away is USA today pointed out.
From the president some gaps there haven't been very many of them but when he does make them occasionally he does it talks about 57 states there.
-- pronounces the -- -- -- you know but these are small things but Joseph Biden is always there to give someone else something to talk about.
And I think that's very very helpful.
You know I have not considered that it could be great I don't.
-- Chris service want to live chat writes he's an asset he makes the president look like Einstein.
I don't actually -- concern it.
That would be a whole and absolutely I mean -- don't we all had and wrote about the speculation we saw lots of -- in the press.
About whether or not Joseph Biden and the president had coordinated.
-- the FD -- bit.
This same sex marriage but I wondered about the whole look at.
-- -- a lot a lot deal with good health care matters.
-- very good and I just need I don't know I think that there may be a lot of that but the question the ocean it's really interesting to me is -- it.
None of the pundits on none of those people who live within the beltway are able to tell us for sure.
Whether or not the same sex sex marriage endorsement was something that was pre planned to mean you hear different well -- is actually here well on this.
We have about twenty minutes ago doctor -- was sitting here I -- we'll have that.
How far ahead to Joseph Biden get in the present and you know ahead of the president did he get on this issue and he's at all months has made plan to roll it out before.
The condition I not that I have not read that definitively vaccine blocks they have but I haven't come out of this White House.
Well the interesting thing is you don't seem leaks out of Joseph Biden's office about what definitively happens.
And that's another way in which he's very useful to the present.
This is a man who was enormous lead to street.
He makes -- highs some of them deliberate I believe.
But when -- -- -- it was a live news and national -- are at stake out Joseph Biden is a true prowl.
I might point out that for those of us in interest in foreign policy nonproliferation.
Issues like that national security issues before they were fashionable.
Joseph Biden was there now he had some interest staying an unpopular ideas such as the need to.
Basically enable Iraq to break up into different units that reflect and it's ethnic composition insanely and Kurds in the north and she -- Iraqis in the south and the Sunni heartland in the middle.
That this would be a better arrangement for Iraq.
Then a dominating centralized government he wrote this long before he became president it's actually the way things are kind of working out in Iraq.
-- he is not by any means a stupid man he has a very experienced foreign policy team around him.
And I think he's just a tremendous asset to the president I was finally intrigued.
By his coming out.
Recently saying -- Hillary Clinton is not going to replace me.
I have talked about I can depend.
I was saying before you know we were talking -- strategy of vice presidential picks.
What does it say eighty years that the vice president feels like he needs to come out of making the -- Nobody we will not go -- yeah.
Not telling you even ask me to -- well you know now.
Politics is real contact sport and obviously President Obama wants to be elected.
If it takes throwing Joseph Biden under the bus car you'll still.
I'll -- that -- really that's exactly the opposite I'm just sit on yet.
Is Joseph Biden is the working -- is the working class you're all the heat hill hospital president and -- -- -- policies have been.
Horrific for blue collar workers the war on fossil fuels is sending electricity prices to skyrocket.
Joseph Biden.
-- campaigned on no -- in America but and he gets protests at my coal miners in southern Ohio are we surprised that people like Joseph Biden.
Working people union people what I know I.
He's the NHL betting -- this morning and I know that we go back and forth with Paulson and Judith is is good it to remind me of that at all but -- this particular day in the Gallup -- the favorability for this vice president is sick and has sunk for the first time -- I think he's been on anybody's ticket this go around.
To below his favorability outside of the margin of error.
So why is that.
Bad hair day I mean yeah I got her.
I think I'm I'm gonna have I I know I just don't know -- parents.
It's about kind of you know it's kind of what how people are feeling that day about their lives about the country about the direction of the country the question -- asked.
I really think that overall.
Joseph Biden is an asset for the president and now that that's why they're not getting rid of him that's why -- -- calculated and not we'll continue.
He's enormously useful player for the Democrats.
Can you read this funnel like -- -- let's have a poll to see how many Americans think Hillary will be Hillary Clinton will be leaving public service to go home with bill and make cookies for the girl scout.
All -- look around since I got buddies and I think question I don't know the answer to this.
Is -- approval rating worse then that Cheney was before after.
