Thank you Mika! A limited amount of voices would like to "blame" VP Biden for jumping the time line

for the President to announce his support for gay marriage just prior to the convention. Mika commented to those around the table, David Gregory asked the question on MTP and Joe Biden gave his honest answer. What was Joe supposed to do? Lie? Everyone agreed there is no blame here and the time line is a non-issue. The media, for the most part that I have seen is very positive about the President's decision to announce this now. prior to the convention.

He did the right thing. There is no "blame" that anyone should give there.

That's the message I'm getting from those who "blame" Joe Biden for this. Not that I think there is anything for which to blame anyone.
