They run a tight ship, and like Obama, they always look at the big picture, not the short-term outlooks.
Biden, for better or worse, is an off-the-cuff kind of person. He'll say what he believes no matter what. That has its advantages and its political disadvantages as well. That probably makes the Obama election people nervous.
However, from what I've seen, Obama sees Biden as a huge asset. He relies on him, according to various accounts, to keep him honest. His advisors always calculate the politics of it all, but Biden tells it like it is. He's a huge help for the president and he puts the pressure on him from the left, as does Michelle Obama. Plus, he's been a huge asset when it comes to the Afghanistan war and touting his successes (think "Bin Laden is dead and General Motors is alive"
.
I'm glad he's Obama's VP, that's for sure.
