Joe Biden: The Rolling Stone Interview

Reposting from LBN ( here )- as instructed. Though I take issue with the banter of premise for mandating this redirect. There's not enough fairness in the flexing of power (nor proper understanding of the damage done to good faith programming) HINT HINT

There is a keen Kennedy-like vigor to Joe Biden that overwhelms any room. As was once said of Theodore Roosevelt, he, too, wants to be the bride at every wedding and the corpse at every funeral. Unlike President Obama, who speaks in interviews with Hemingway-esque sparseness, Biden rambles like Thomas Wolfe, painting a robust picture of an ever-changing America where coal miners will soon be working in clean-tech jobs, gun-safety laws will be tougher and China will be reined in by the White House from poisoning the planet with megatons of choking pollutants.

Never before have a president and vice president been as close personally and professionally as Barack Obama and Joe Biden – just think about the past 80 years. FDR switched out VPs with the regularity of a farmer rotating his crops. Harry Truman had little use for the lightweight Alben Barkley. Dwight Eisenhower never really trusted Richard Nixon. Historian Robert Caro just published an award-winning 736-page biography – The Passage of Power – that essentially chronicles JFK's deep aversion for LBJ. Nixon's selection of the pugilist Spiro Agnew in 1968 as his vice president blew up in his face a few years later: A volcanic eruption of ethics charges were levied against Agnew, and he was forced to resign. Gerald Ford and his vice president, Nelson Rockefeller, never quite jelled. Ford, in fact, asked Bob Dole to run as the VP candidate in 1976 – an awful slap to Rockefeller. Although it's true that Jimmy Carter was extraordinarily close to Walter Mondale, their relationship lacked the two-term gravitas of Obama and Biden's ironclad bond. Ronald Reagan wasn't particularly intimate with George H.W. Bush; their wives often feuded. And when Bush became president, he didn't take Dan Quayle very seriously. (Nor did the country.)


As Biden tells it, these days he and the president see eye to eye on all policy issues. Only their nuances are slightly different. It's not far-fetched to think that Biden will run for president in 2016 on Obama's coattails. This notion surprises many Republicans, who feel Obama is foundering and that Biden, who will be 74 at the beginning of the next presidential term, is too old. But Biden is smart to stay close to Obama, whose public-approval rating hovers just below 50 percent (a number that rises to around 75 percent among registered Democrats). Assuming Hillary Clinton runs for president in 2016, she will sell herself as a successor to her husband, harkening back to the economic heyday of the 1990s. By contrast, if Biden gets into the race, it will be as an Obama Democrat promising to expand on the record of the last two terms.

Today - the 2016 POTUS race (appears to be)

Republican side = Jeb Bush v Chris Christie (on a diet for the next 2 years)
and
Democratic side = Hillary Clinton v Joe Biden.

Therefore, it could be either

Bush v Clinton
(Al Gore screaming to high heaven in the background).
Or
Christie v Clinton
(With her poking him in the belly and say "don't worry Pillsbury - I'll roll over you gently)

Unless we have

Bush v Biden
(a slam dunk for Joe and as senior bush rolls out in his wheel chair hollaring "Depository Depository&quot

THEN

Christie v Biden could be an east coast civil war
and VP Biden could guarantee his win
with a Hillary VP pick
OR (hold on to your seats folks)
A - VP - of AL Gore!

Even though I have bones to pick with Joe, he did do the country a solid that will never make it into the history books (and probably saved my life in the process). You will find this hard to swallow - but I reached out to Senator Biden and articulated that we were on a pathway to becoming advesaries - when he did actually blow my mind.

I'm Romney's personal enemy - and therefore enemy of his (retroactive secret) Colm F Connolly. Who just so happens to be a corrupt former U.S. Attorney in Delaware

See Colm's Resume at the Department of Justice Office of Legal Policy ( HERE ). If you will take NOTE - you will see that Colm F Connolly was a partner of the www.MNAT.com law firm at the very same EXACT time that Romney claims to be "retroactively" retired from. This is because Mitt's other (secret) attorneys (Paul Traub and MNAT) have already confessed lying under oath 34 times to a Chief Federal Justice. Then Romney resigned as Bain Capital's CEO in August 2001. While Colm F Connolly did then become the Delaware United States Attorney on August 2, 2001.

Just like Chris Christie was rewarded with New Jersey Governor seat after giving his former boss (John Ashcroft) a $50 million dollar NO BID contract (Chrisitie has to go testify about the issue HERE). In a similar corrupt fashion, Romney's RICO Gang tried to reward Colm F Connolly with a Federal Judge Bench in the Delaware District Court.

But that failed - do to the American hero - Senator Joe Biden.

While he was running for President, Joe Biden went out on a limb and refused to sign the requisite Senator's Slip to process Colm Connolly's nomination for Federal Justice. Senator Biden paid a heavy price as the hometown paper (The Wilmington News Journal) - did go after Joe Biden - relentlessly.

I'm for Joe Biden with VP Hillary in 2016 and to help them, I'm NOT stopping my battle to get Romney the Racketeer tossed in jail OR at the barest of minimums, A RICO seizure of Clear Channel Communications before the elections of 2014!
