Is Biden ready?

The backwards talk and the constant change of wording by all accounts for most people is disturbing, however in watching this video I recently saw on the Huffington Post, I found myself asking why? As I understand it, there was a time that Biden was considered the rising star amid the Democratic party -someone to look to for the future, offering impact and change on the national level. Well with that fizzling out as he has been in the Senate with little to show over the last 20 yrs, he is interviewed back in 2007 with the subject of drawing parallels between his campaign and that of Barack Obama.

Simple….Biden sits on the ticket of Barack Obama has a puppet simply placing himself there since he will never get the national support and opportunity to be in office otherwise. However, in this interview - he claims that Obama is not ready for the job. Sound weird…..you probably are thinking the same as I. In addition, he declares the following: “It would be hard for me to go out and make the case for my president that I had strong disagreement with,” he says. “It would be a hard thing for me to do. And I don’t criticize those who do because you must be a team. So I would not recommend that anyone pick me for vice president.” LOL. Are you kidding me…is not he sitting on the ticket? Is not he the one supporting Obama and smashing McCain/Palin? Is not he now wanting to be VIce President? What changed?
What changed is that he will never see the oval office other from the hip pocket of another presidential candidate….bottom line. He has spent numerous years offering the Senate nothing more than a running dialogue of “more of the same” thus making him inadequate for a larger post. Obama found out quickly that he needed Biden to overcome issues of experience, but nothing more. Biden will sit happily by eating bon-bons and enjoying the sites from the VPs office, while Obama does whatever it is he does. I am pretty certain that Obama will not ask Biden, because according to him Obama is not ready and they should have never picked him for VP.
