So for close on 20 years Joe Biden has been sitting around thinking to himself, "You know, they'd have all voted for me if they just knew the real me," marking time, waiting for the day when Destiny came knocking to tell him it's TIME! The country is ready. The People understand now. Joe Biden is meant to be the next President of the United States!
And after 20 years of waiting, of brooding, of thinking about what he'd do better this time out, this is how he gets his campaign to lead the news.
Maybe it's true, that the first thing that should disqualify people for running for President is their thinking they should run for President.
Shakes has had few things to say about Biden. See is not crazy about him. Not at all.
Biden's a babbler, always has been. He'll never use ten clear words when thirty confusing ones will do. And that's actually enough reason for him not to be president: his people would have to spend every day cleaning up the messes he'd made the day before.
But the Obama comments weren't racist or racially insensitive or anything similar. Say whatever nice things you like about Jesse Jackson; unlike Obama, he had no chance at the nomination. (And Shirley Chisholm or Al Sharpton? Please.) And Obama is an uncommonly attractive candidate, in exactly the ways Biden outlined.
So, translated from Biden into English, what he said was "Not only is he the first black guy with a real chance to win, he's the second coming of JFK."

Biden's running for President? Wow! He's been so tight-lipped about it, I'd never have guessed... {-;
Really though, we should be fair and cut him some slack. Maybe he just meant that he likes to hear Obama's oh so pleasant voice close to his ear whilst he breaths in of his manly essence.
Or something...
What a nutter.
