Joe Biden is smart
Edited on Sun Jan-25-09 11:02 AM by Botany
What a breath of fresh air smart, well read, and quick mind ....

asked question about secrets in our conflict w/ Taliban/al Qaeda/Paki Lawless areas
and then he smiles and says, "Bob I can not answer that question." Or his view as
helping Obama I will be the last person in the room on any key decisions w/ the
President but he just will give his advice and Obama will make the call.

3. Agreed, good interview, good that he acknowledges the difficulty
of being so "opinionated" or of having a strong take on things.

5. But he also said his strong opinions were for private ....
.... and that his job was to give the President the best consul he could
but in the end the choice was up to Obama.

We have two 2 II dos zwei Professors of Constitutional Law running the country!
