I love Joe Biden too - why are they asking on tv...

about the possibility that Obama might change VP's for 80 days till election so that he could run with Hillary Clinton? I personally would hate that if it happened, very very much, actually.

Joe was having fun with the people, not at them. There is a difference.

no really

"Joe Biden really drags down that ticket."

After all she said about Obama, it is now Joe who drags down the ticket? LMFAO ROFL HARD. The GOP wreaks of desperation! Hillary Clinton was thrown in for good measure to try and divide the left into old flame wars.

Sorry Ms. "as Putin rears his head"....you're a joke.

I wouldn't believe that at all. There is nothing controversial about what Joe Biden said. They are reaching out of desperation.

It's also hilarious considering the person they picked to spread the meme. Come on, Palin talking about someone being unfit to be VP on a ticket? Really?

Link to a thread which points out it's the 1/2 term governor.

when people even suggest that Biden shouldn't be on the ticket. He's a perfect compliment to Obama. I don't think he's made a single gaffe; he's spoken the truth, be it "this is a big fucking deal" to his prompting this administration's support of gay marriage. I adore the man; may not have supported his every position, but I think he brings so much heart and integrity to this ticket.

because I love the man...Mrs. Clinton has so many supporters and they tend to be very loyal and vocal...

Joe was always my favorite when he was in the Senate and it was his turn to ask questions of the president's choice for whatever.

I think the Fox quotes may have been on Ed, Rachel, or O'Donnell's program, or a couple of them... I think it may have been O'Donnell who went on to say that Obama knew what he was getting - and that's why he picked him. Joe is so honest...

THe Fox quotes showed a Fox anchor asking Ryan some really tough questions about Medicare and where the money that Obama "took" from it went, and Ryan said it went into Obamacare...kind of confusing, so Ryan tried changing the subject...

No, it wasn't that program above about Joe - it had a man, lady, & a man sitting around a table. Never watch Fox so I don't know their names.

and Erin O'Brien, who used to be on Morning Joe doing a bit from Wall Street went to CNN.

Pity msnbc doesn't know what it's doing.

And msnbc's "The Cycle" stinks.

Is talking out of the wrong end. Biden is the perfect complement to Obama. That is why Obama picked him in the first place. That hasn't changed.

ETA: Oh, it was Palin? Yes, that explains it all.
