Vice President Joe Biden is sworn in for his second term on Sunday morning.
Joe Biden was sworn in to a second term as the Vice President of the United States on Sunday morning, taking his oath from Associate Justice Sonia Sotomayor -- the first Hispanic in American history to administer an oath of office.
Biden personally selected Sotomayor, who is also the fourth woman to administer an oath, to conduct the brief ceremony at the vice president's residence at the Naval Observatory in Washington, D.C.
By law, the president and vice president must be sworn in on Jan. 20. Because that date falls on a Sunday this year, both men take their formal oaths today, but will hold the traditional longer public ceremony tomorrow.
Biden's swearing-in was originally scheduled to be held shortly before the president's, near noon Sunday. But Sotomayor's previous commitment to a book signing in New York City prompted officials to move the event earlier in the day.
"It's an incredible honor to have Associate Justice Sonia Sotomayor swear me in," Biden said in a statement. "I believed strongly that she would make a great Justice, and it was one of the greatest pleasures of my career to be involved in her selection to the Court. From the first time I met her, I was impressed by Justice Sotomayor's commitment to justice and opportunity for all Americans, and she continues to exemplify those values today. Above all, I'm happy for the chance to be sworn in by a friend - and someone I know will continue to do great things."
After the short swearing-in, Biden again thanked Sotomayor personally, explaining to the small group of guests the reason for the early timing of the event.
Biden took the oath on a family Bible bearing a Celtic cross. It has been in the Biden family since 1893.
Cabinet members attending the ceremony included Attorney General Eric Holder and Interior Secretary Ken Salazar. He was joined on stage by his family, including wife Dr. Jill Biden and his three children.


Go Joe !
And take King Barry with you.
King who? No one except rwnj's know anyone by that name.
Dictator in chief, glut slut wife, and this douche-bag for another 4 years. I hope everybody's happy.
@ IbuyChinese
My sense is you know all about sluts from your mother and wife's experience at you local train station and bus depot.
Obama/Biden 2012-2016
Looks like the low-information, name calling, slur infused crowd is out in force this morning.
Congradualations Mr. Vice President. To the RWNJ's it could be worse, we could have been stuck with lyin' Ryan.
We LOVE you in DELAWARE, JOE BIDEN!!!
Yes we can!
Good to go for another four, Joe - I'd be fine with another TWELVE.
A great big sign of relief from me when both are sworn in. I'm so glad our nation voted the sane people in again. However, we have work to do because Republican in North midwestern and some Eastern states are trying to rig the election through the electoral college. They've already rigged their districts to come up with Republican majorities regardless of who shows up to vote. Something I think needs to be dealt with in the courts by the citizens who are not represented in proper proportions. We have laws against that.
I consider V.P. J. Biden the perfect V.P.
An*** Ba***/ I whole heartedly concur with you on the need to stop this gerrymandering to circumvent the will of the majority in our election process. What the hell are we ,some mickey mouse dictator ridden country?
Well done Vice-President Biden and President Obama!!
You've had to deal with the worst, most deceptive, most obstructive, belligerent Do-Nothing Party and GOP Congress in American history!
Not only that, they pledged to block economic growth, they blocked every Jobs Bill, and got the U.S. downgraded - we lost our Triple AAA S & P rating for the first time.
THANK GOD for President Obama and V-P Biden!
I do solemnly swear (every chance I get) that I will skirt and run around the constitution of the United States; that I will be submissive to all enemies foreign and domestic; that I will lie and deny and bear false allegiance to the same;that I take this obligation freely with much mental retardation and and high purpose of evasion; that I will faithfully discharge the ever increasing executive orders of Barack Obama and ignore the true duties of the office I am about to enter; so help me almighty whoever.
You are either deceiving or being deceived, which one is it?
How fortunate we are that President Obama was re-elected and it is his inauguration we will be watching/attending and not someone else's. The pain of him and his family leaving the White House on Monday would have been too hard to bear if he had lost.
And as we watch the public ceremonies on a day in which we celebrate Martin Luther King Jr., on a day when Medgar Ever's widow will deliver the invocation, we will once again take a moment and reflect on the wonder of our history and those who came before us who fought without hesitation for a country we could and should be. The United States of America.
In reading over the years about past presidents leaving the White House for the last time, some images leave a lasting impression.
Two Presidents - ALL MEN ARE CREATED EQUAL
A woman said of President James Monroe, upon meeting him on New Years Day 1825 at the White House:
"He is tall and well formed. His dress plain and in the old style ... His manner was quiet and dignified. From the frank, honest expression of his eye ... I think he well deserves the encomium passed upon him by the great Jefferson, who said, 'Monroe was so honest that if you turned his soul inside out there would not be a spot on it.'
Yet William Seale wrote: In his appearance, James Monroe seemed less the leader of a new age than a ghost from the old. The last President to have participated in the Revolution, he still powdered his hair and wore smallclothes, when long trousers had been the fashion for some years. His shirts were ruffled, his shoes buckled in silver, and he wore hose which, like his suits, were black. Monroe's resemblance to George Washington grew more intriguing as the American Revolution grew more remote and the principles of 1776 took on new meaning.
Our 5th president (1817-1825), Monroe fought in the Battle of Trenton where he was wounded. The doctors were unable to remove the bullet and he carried the bullet in his shoulder for the rest of his life. He encamped with the Continental Army at Valley Forge. In the famous painting depicting George Washington crossing the Delaware, it is thought to be Lt. James Monroe in the painting holding up the American flag.
And so in 1825 President James Monroe, a patriot with a long and distinguished career dedicated to the founding of a nation, walked away quietly, attired in the clothing of another era, closing forever the door on the Founding Fathers' generation in the White House. A generation that fought for a government residing in citizenry rather than a sanctioned monarchy.
All men are created equal.
John Quincy Adams and Andrew Jackson were bitter enemies - so much so that John Q like his father before him did not attend his successor's inauguration after losing his bid for re-election. On the day before Jackson's inauguration, coaches and wagons pulled up in front of the White House and the Adams possessions were taken away. While President Adams stayed behind, his wife and family got into their coaches and left the White House for their new home in Washington DC.
John's father, John Adams, is the only Founding Father not to have owned a single slave - on principle alone. He wrote the Massachusetts Constitution, which abolished slavery in MA, he was a signer of the Declaration of Independence, he was our 2nd president and the first president to reside in the White House. John Q was brought up to serve in public office; he was a scholar, a patriot, a jurist, author of the Monroe Doctrine and held diplomatic positions in Europe and Russia. He knew personally all the important men and women of the Founding Fathers' generation. Neither father nor son had a successful presidency.
Yet as we watch our current president once again take the oath of office, following in the footsteps of all those presidents before him who tried to pave the way for a more progressive, just America - sometimes succeeding, sometimes not - John Quincy Adams should be remembered. A man who held strong opinions on slavery, he believed slavery went against America's core principles of equality and freedom. He was a man with an independent mind, having for a role model his father who made an unpopular but morally correct decision - representing British soldiers involved in the Boston Massacre.
One year after leaving the presidency, John Quincy Adams was elected to the House of Representatives and served 8 terms. He became known for his outspoken speeches against slavery ("Old Man Eloquent"). He was a defender of Free Speech at a time when fellow Congressmen attempted to silence him on his anti-slavery speeches. It was while in the House that he suffered a stroke and died two days later at the age of 80. He suffered his stroke shortly after making an impassioned speech against a plan to extend slavery to the western territories won in the Mexican-American War.
Congress during this time also dealt with petitions from slaves. John Q. Adams argued that the right to petition Congress was a universal right granted so that those in the weakest positions might always have a recourse to those in the most powerful. The House resolved, almost unanimously, that the right to petition one's government applied to only free white persons. Resolved, that the slaves do not possess the right of petition secured to the people of the United States by the Constitution.
Twelve years after leaving the White House Adams represented the African men on the ship Amistad in front of the United States Supreme Court. He presented his argument on two separate days, 4 hrs straight each day. The first day was 2/22- Geo. Washington's birthday. This was a case pitting property rights/maritime laws against what Adams saw as justice for all - black, white, male, female, free or slave. Inalienable rights of man. He believed strongly that slavery was a terrible evil.
When the Declaration of Independence was drafted, passages pertaining to slavery had been removed, not by Thomas Jefferson, but by Congress. The passages deleted are quite interesting, putting it seems all the blame for slavery on the King of England. Yet Thomas Jefferson while president, abolished slave trading but not slavery. The Amistad case heard before the Supreme Court was the opportunity for Adams to put the evils of slavery and property rights front and center. It was the abolitionists who met with Adams and asked that he defend these men.
Adams won the case and thus put abolitionists in a stronger position to continue their fight against slavery. Adams' belief that every person had the right to live in freedom, that they were not property to anyone was a tremendous moral victory. He was a man unfortunately before his time.
John Q had throughout his life developed an interest in horticulture and during his time in the White House he turned the White House gardens, which had been unkept, into gardens of plants and trees on both the north and south grounds. On his daily predawn walks he was able to enjoy the beautiful gardens he had created - plants, fruit trees, shrubs, hedges, vegetables, herbs, etc.
And so on this his last day in the White House, John Quincy Adams, our 6th president (1825-1829) stayed behind as his family left in late afternoon - wagons full of trunks, furniture and presidential papers. Adams then walked the White House grounds one last time to look over his gardens and when darkness began to set in, he walked away from the White House to join his family in his new home. A president leaving with so few friends, and a great many enemies, even within his own party. Who as an 8 year old child, witnessed his nation fighting in the Revolutionary War on Bunker Hill for a cause he believed in - all men are created equal. For John Quincy Adams, those words defined the United States of America and those words to him meant unequivocally that every man and woman, regardless of color of skin or religious affiliation - were equal in the eyes of the law. 100% equal.
Long after leaving the White House a lonely figure, he would put those words to the test and challenge a nation's acceptance to slavery. He would win his argument, thus helping to begin the long journey of the United States of America changing course.
. . . as the American Revolution grew more remote and the principles of 1776 took on new meaning.
All men are created equal.
Everyone in America, including the Founding Fathers, recognized the contradictions in these words. But it was John Quincy Adams who shined the brightest spotlight on them.

There is nothing left of John Quincy Adams' garden on the White House grounds. An elm tree he planted survived until the first Bush years when it had to be cut down. First Lady Barbara Bush however did plant a root cutting from the tree.
See you back there in 2016, Joe!
Sorry Backhouse: I don't make a habit of discussing anything with posters who leave their account page blank.
Pat from Boston:
None of that applies to the current administration.
So can some one explain to me why they are compelled to do this early?
Realize the grand event tomorrow is now another meaningless expenditure by the feds (and a select few corporations expecting favors in return).
What a joke - ceremony and tradition mean nothing anymore in the country...
It's always done on the 20th regardless of the day of the week. The huge gala comes later .
Jan 20 is the traditional date for swearing in of the winner of the November election; required by law to be held at noon local time. The public ceremony will be on Monday. Past presidents (Monroe, Taylor, Hayes, Wilson, Eisenhower, and Reagan) have had the oath administered privately with public ceremonies later.
The real joke is that in 2013, somebody doesn't know how to use a search engine.
I thought it was a good opportunity to coattail on MLK day and stir up more racial division.
Usually we would have done my big party today but the opportunity was too much to pass up by only doing a one day delay.
Tomorrow will be just for show as I have already begun my second term and have been sworn in already. I'd like to thank ExonMobile for their huge contribution for tomorrows party though.
No, no, don't criticize and complain about Biden, folks. The only thing we have to look forward to in the second term of this totally inept administation is the regular hilarious gaffes from Joe the Buffoon. It's great comedy!
Joe Biden and his wife lost a child a few years ago, and ordinarily it is virtually impossible to not feel deep sympathy for a parent who outlives a child, but I swear I feel nothing for this idiot and that is probably the most glaring Litmus test you could apply to his character.
The most crass, obnoxious, detestable, disrespectful VP this country has ever had. I really hope I outlive him so I can enjoy his obituary. What an anti-American tool...
CarryingConcealed: I regret that I have but one vote to give you
Great, we are stuck with this old fool for another 4 yrs. I have never seen a VP that was as inept and disrespectful as old "biteme". The only good part is that we will get to laugh at his idiotic statements from time to time. I really think oblamo wanted him as VP to ensure his own safety, who the hell would want anything to happen to oblamo with old dumb@!$%# waiting in the wings?????
@Carryingconcealed: that's funny --- I was just about to post something similar myself ... about Dick(less) Cheney.
It could be worse, we could have had Mitt Robeme and Lyin' Ryan.
"Great, we are stuck with this old fool for another 4 yrs."
well the rest of the US is as stupid as the people of Delaware
Charlie, have you seen the people from Delaware, what an ugly bunch of people and Bite me Biden is the best they have.
stopfreeloaders -- do you remember the Republicans in Delaware were stupid enough to nominate Christine (I'm not a Witch) O'Donnell for Senate. That say a lot about Delaware Repubs!!
Hahahaha! No, Mexico's puppet was George W. Bush.
Bush's Longstanding Criminal Mexican Amigos
BUSH BEGINS MEXICO APPEASEMENT…
Bush Administration Erases U.S. Borders With Mexico and Canada
Bush Plan to Allow Mexican Truckers Throughout U.S. Draws Criticism
Feds Hide Social Security Deal With Mexico
Bush Sides With Mexican Killers Against U.S.
No president ever did more to aid Mexico than George W. Bush. And you have the audacity to claim that Obama is Mexico's puppet? Just how much more do you think Mitt Romney, with his close ties to Mexico, would have done? You are truly a fool!
Joe Biden/Hillary Clinton 2016!!!
@Charlie - I had forgotten all about that little gem ... I'll bet the the GOP wishes they could wave a magic wand and make that footnote in history disappear. Maybe they should contact Christine - and she isn't too busy dealing with here accountant - and see if she's got any connections for that wand thing.
Mornin Tramp you owe me a new keyboard! lmfao!!
I heard whispers last night that ole Joe is thinkin about takin a run at the Presidency next go round. Could you imagine? *shudders* I pray for President Obama's safety every day just so we don't have this guy as President.
node4 said: "that's funny --- I was just about to post something similar myself ... about Dick(less) Cheney."
So post it, node(less)...
@1.27 =~ s/'Joe Biden'/'Dick(less) Cheney/;
... see - all better. Well, actually not; the world had to endure 8 years of the worst vice president in the history of the United States - Dick Cheney and we'll all be cleaning up his messes for the next 50 years.
The swearing in is done. Let the swearing at begin.
You mean let the swearing continue sandiego1969. Just imagine republicans standing out in their front yards swearing at the sky. Their the grumpy old men in your neighbor hood yelling at the kids to get off his lawn.
Mo-numbers. As kids they were the school yard bullys, they always got their ass whiped then too, never learned either, just like now.
They're only bullies when their with a bunch of their republican buddies, or sitting behind a key board. When confronted, like all bullies they turn and run.
The usual racists, bigots Right Wing Nuts are out in force and let alone insulting, ridiculing are committing crimes of treason. NBC is negligent in removing there comments and banning these people
MSNBC needs to leave them alone winemaser2. They're the ones that supply the comedy for the rest of us. they're lies, paranoia, made up stories, conspiracy theories and just down wright fear of President Obama is hilarious to everyone but them.
Whinemaster
and enforcing yet another of king barrys ideals for America.....complete and total censorship. But don't worry after he is done with the 2nd amendment he will go after the first in Ernest thus-far the media only makes rudimentary efforts.
Hahahahahaaha! Scooter - you're just too funny.
Whinemaster2: Where do you get off calling people who disagree with you racists and bigots? Whose the bigot here?
Scooter Tramp, you seriously should seek professional help. Your paranoia is extreme.
It's called "free speech", not treason. Good try, though.
At the very least, Scooter's name should head a list of those banned from buying guns
I call it showing your IQ.
MO crimes of treason???? what a MORON its called freedom of speech, what a troll.
What are you talking about Robert? I didn't say anything about treason. Robert you're really confused this morning. Your anger is getting to you. Step away from the computer and compose yourself.
Call Joe Biden what he is, the republican Sarah Palin or Dan Quale.
If you think Joe Biden has a high IQ, I wonder where your IQ falls.
Kinda of a toss up, while Sarah is nice to look at, crazy uncle joe is hilarious.
IQ? Trying spelling Quayle correctly. Moron.
If you think for one second that Joe Biden is comparable to Sarah or Dan Quayle you're seriously delusional. Don't bother looking at his record as a public servant, just make stupid, ignorant generalities, like all Democrats are on welfare and only Republicans work.
If you want to know what is currently wrong with this country, look in the mirror.
Well Said Mike, but I doubt if they look in the mirror they could see an image.
Biden has been winning elections against Republicans for more than 40 years. Palin wins 1 state wide elections then quits after 2 years.
potatoe potato blearyeyed you still knew what he/she meant.
Cant let a pesky little thing like work interfere with making money, after all its only lemming one shes swearing in.
Sign books and make money or go to a clown show???????
Sotomayor had a rough choice.
Hopefully nothing happens to Obozo the next 4 years. Having this buffoon as president would have been as bad as Al Gore being president.
Hell that was the plan all along! With him as number two we had best protect
the POS number one spot!
Well it's really too bad that you lost. Using school yard names like "Obozo" shows what an immature clown you are.
Mike, thank God and America they are a dying breed huh? The LOSERS! lmao
Why do you think Reagan selected Bush, Bush selected Quayle, Clinton selected Gore and Dubya selected Darth Cheney? It causes a would be assassin to think twice. From the frying pan into the fire is not a good thing. The old dude McCain selected that loony toon Sarah Palin as insurance in case he was elected and, of course Romney took Ryan as his running mate for much the same reason.
exactly Adler lol
bowtie brigade, ya mama and her brother, which is your father, should have aborted your azz!! ho ho
Joe, the Big O's second banana. What a joke. Keep him out of sight, and definitely away from a mike. And to think, God forbid, have to step into the Pres shoes.
to paraphrase gaffing uncle Joe "Now that's a "BIG FCUKING DEAL"
I'm not a VP so I can't say what he said?????????
We have the best TWO qualified individuals leading this country! Too bad the R.W.N.J.'s can't see it? 51% of this country IS better off, thanks to the policies of this President, but those morons on the right refuse to be happy!!!
O & Joe for the next four! Better get used to it, it is happening, wheather you want to stay behind or not, its up to you!!!!
Congratulations Uncle Joe!!!!!!!!
How's that Kool Aid?
Wow! that's great. Now if you all could stop referring to his wife as "Doctor" Jill we'd all be better off. SHE IS NOT A DOCTOR she is a PhD. A Dr. of Letters which in the real world means absolutely nothing. When pompous pretentious people do this they minimize the standing that REAL Doctors have worked 7-10 years to achieve. So Jill Biden PhD, Get over your bad self.
CDP- It's called respect! Look up the word! LOL!!!!!!!!!
CDP, you need to get over your bad self. PhDs have been using the term Doctor since the middle ages. Just keep grasping at straws you clown.
@DfromSpencer, Well said, except-
100% of this country is better off that we have re-elected Obama & Biden. They work for ALL of us. Thank God!
How that continued 8% unemployment working out for ya??? I am sure they din't agree with your moronic statement.
A PhD is a doctorate . Most of the persons obtaining them do not usually call themselves doctors but it is the correct title. Only M.D 's usually wear that term.
Robert you're making less sense with each post. Please step away from your computer and compose yourself.
Every court needs a jester... Go Joe ! Make sure that foot stays firmly in your mouth.
PoorBustard, how come all you dip-chits are out trolling today? Wouldn't let ya in the to see Obama get sworn in did they?
Actually Joe Bidet almost got sworn in as President ... that thought is obviously lurking under those doll hair plugs from his predictable gaffe. He's a funny guy that Joe, even if he doesn't realize it.
We are thrilled Vice President Biden!!!!!!!
And all you haters ha ha ha ha ha and ha! Grow up get a life and get behind this President and his Adm!
It use to bother me to come to these sites and to read all the disinformation and fear and hate spewed
but I've come to realize that that's what you haters want, to change the dialog from rational conversation,
to the fox news agenda, which is to obstruct and block and distort....
The country is moving forward, and you can all stay in your fox news bubble's and wail about socialists,
Hitler, kings etc don't care!!!! Being happy and involved the greatest revenge to all the haters!
Bit me biden must be the queen to king obama?
One of MANY wacko leftist liberal fools following a BIGGER fool!
It's "bite me" and look in the mirror! LOL
Right Wing Nut Jobs... never let a little thing like illiteracy slow you down! Just make sure you lobby to have ENGLUSH as our Nashunal Langwage (or something spelled like it sounds). Now get back to work, or Walmart's will be firing your pathetic arses, yore tea brakes over hillbilly
Kbb1/The types to which you belong ,no longer need to write your comments. I am against any informed or constructive one,written here, is all that that is required,but I think that you are doing the rest of us a service by showing everyone what our opposition considers normal, so keep on going ,you creatures!.
KBB1, we are going to ban computers in trailer parks.. That will shut you up. ho ho ho
Wonder if they use a teleprompter so it doesn't have to be done twice
Talk about lame. GROW UP CLOWN.
Jerk # 2 for 4 more years....
Frightening to think VP Douche McGoo is one spot away from the Presidency.
Ed Makovich, ya mother and her brother, your father, should have aborted your azz.
God Bless you Sir. for many many years!
Haha hehe ho ho
Four more years to go,,,,
get a new line troll.
OH look! The teabaggers are out in in force this morning.. The same people who voted for a witch in delaware 2 years ago, the same people who voted for a guy who didn't know basic female anatomy...
These are the same people who been promising civil war, and come up with the conspiracy theories every year only for nothing to happen. The same people who yearly promise secession.
Does anyone care what these people think? These people are motivated by Beck, Limbaugh, Hannity and Alex Jones..
Nascar season about to start soon.. Let them be entertained by cars with viagara advertisements turning left 4 for hours.
90% are uneducated and on welfare themselves.
J,
Wow! Love the hatred bro! We are talking about our VP here, not a list of the worse repubs. Just to be fair, unbiased, non racist, a bigot, or anything else you might be, please name some of the libtards that could also make your brilliant list of fools and failures, because you and I know, there are plenty of them as well. So please show all of the folks here, your wisdom, knowledge, unbiased, non racist, lists of all bad politicians, just not only the ones that are on the opposite side from you. Can you do that, or are you so brainwashed, biased, racist, or any other derogatory discription that you are incapable of doing this?
V.P. Biden swears to uphold the Constitution of the United States of America, except for that Second Amendment part that he and his boss don't like.
JBF/There is a solution to amend unnecessary or outdated parts of our constitution all ready as part of our constitution .It was never assumed to be either perfect nor inviolable for all time.
So see if you can get the majority necessary to void a part of the Bill of Rights. If not, don't try to pretend it means nothing.
JBFlyer, Biden will up hold the Constitution, however, he ain't drinking the NRA KOOL AID like you dol.
BTW, I hope they make it a law where all gun owners have to pass a "mental test" . If that happens, that will be the end of the NRA, I tell you that. About 90% of all NRA members wouldn't be alble to pass a basic mental test.. That's for sure too.
JBFlyer, one more time, in that there Constitution, the way it was "originally written" it states that all non-whites (that includes Obama) are 3/5ths person. JBFlyer, take time to read it, you crosseyed-right-wing-dip-chit!! ho ho ho
The Constitution means what the Supreme Court says it means. Just like they found a basic right to abortions, they also found an individual right to own firearms. Again, if you don't like it, you can try to amend it. Your anger and insults probably won't accomplish that, but keep at it if you want.
Joe takes the oath of office
John Nance Garner did that too
But he was smart enough to know
It's a bucket of do-do
Thank you, thank you, thank you Joe! I was always embarrassed because of that goof ball Dan Quayle, thinking he would go down in history as the dumbest VP in history. But Joe, thankfully you came into our lives. Dan was dumber than a box of rocks, but Joe, you make Dan look like an MIT graduate. Thanks again Joe, for now being the biggest dumb ass VP this nation has ever seen. Much appreciated
Actually if some of these fools who accuse Joe Biden of being in their ranks were old enough to remember the Watergate hearings (broadcast daily on tv), they might know that ol Joe (then a junior senator of Delaware) was instrumental in bringing Tricky Dicky (another fine crooked republican president) down. Joe Biden ain't no dumbass... but most of these haters sure are.
Squirrel gets a nut every once in a while. Unfortunately, his claim to stardom for helping nail(another dumb ass politician) Nixon, did not have the world wide internet or a biased media, to show everyone his one great deed. Still doesnt mean he hasnt out dumbassed Quayle in both of their roles as VP
Way too go Joe! Your role is very important to the President, and to our nation. The role of the Vice President has certainly changed in the recent years, and the responsibilities of this position have gained importance. It is critical Mr. Vice President that the "Political Positions" of the President be protected. The Vice President also needs to defend the "Economic Policies" of the President. So far the VP is doing what is asked of him with professionalisn, and dignity.
Dignity and profeessionalism is using an F-Bomb in talking with the president while on national tv with every network running it? Wow, I guess you were ok with Clinton getting a hummer in the oval office? I guess you might call that class and character?
Biden, being the laughing stock, hatchet man, and all around buffoon has worked well for him.
Joe - Dr. Silverstein called from the Hair Club For Men, since you ran out of hair follicles on the back of your head; they'll have to take transplanted hairs from your testicles - carpet will match the drapes.
