On Tweety - why is Obama's staff so ANGRY about Biden's

[Pirate Smile]

13. What I read was that they are pissed that Joe made it look like he pressured Obama into doing

it. Joe's role is being used to diminish the real risk President Obama is taking by doing this right now, during an election year. It is kind of joke now - I saw it on twitter - 'what should Joe say now to pressure Obama - pot legalization, get out of Afghanistan immediately - yuk yuk'.

The one other thing i read was that Joe voted for DOMA and had argued for the President not to come out in support of marriage equality earlier because it could hurt with white Catholics in the Rust Belt. So it pissed them off for him to jump out there and make himself look like the hero and like the President was following when he had argued for caution.

That was the best explanation I saw for it but, clearly, now, they just need to shut up.

At least those reasons make sense to me.
