Biden meets “The most dangerous vice president we’ve had” and survives

posted by Susan Johnson | 9:31am Friday November 14, 2008

I wonder if he brought a gun to defend himself? And I bet he didn’t take any food Cheney offered him. I’m surprised that he brought his wife, wouldn’t he want to shield her from someone that dangerous? Or was it all just over the top campaign rhetoric that has no basis in fact:

“It was a good visit,” read a statement released by Cheney’s office. “The Cheneys enjoyed giving the Bidens a tour of the residence and wished them well as they make it their home in January.”
“The Bidens thank the Cheneys for welcoming them into their home and for their gracious hospitality,” said Biden spokesperson Elizabeth Alexander.

Seems a little anticlimactic, don’t you think?
Biden plans to follow in Cheney’s footsteps and be a hands on VP:

Biden has said he told Obama, before accepting the running mate slot, that he wouldn’t want a peripheral assignment like reorganizing government, which Gore took on, along with other tasks. In a New Yorker interview last month, he said he told Obama: “I don’t want to be a vice president who is not part of the major decisions you make.”
Biden himself will have an experienced aide who can help his voice be heard in the White House. He chose former Gore chief of staff Ron Klain to fill the same job for him, Democrats said Thursday.
Biden will certainly have a special interest in the Iraq war, with his son scheduled to deploy there this month.
So far, Biden has been working closely with Obama. He has been in almost all the president-elect’s meetings at his new government office space in Chicago and has been dispatched to make calls to several foreign leaders.

I wonder if they did that to get him out of the room so they could get work done (don’t you see him blathering on and on in meetings :-) I hope he doesn’t talk Obama into that partition idea he had for Iraq, I don’t think the Iraqis would go along with it :-)
He also appears to be Obama’s cleanup guy when he makes a mess of foreign relations:

Biden was asked to smooth over a miscommunication following Obama’s phone call with Polish President Lech Kaczynski last week. Kaczynski issued a statement saying Obama vowed to continue with President Bush’s missile defense project. But Obama’s advisers denied it, and the Polish foreign minister later said it was a misinterpretation on their part.
Biden called Kaczynski a couple of days later to explain that the Obama administration will assess the program before deciding whether to stick with it.

I wonder if he also called India.

One Final Word
My dear friend Michele slipped into eternity on Wednesday, February 1.   She was a remarkable woman who left a legacy of faith, determination, and love. For three years she courageously battled the ovarian cancer that eventually robbed her of her life.  A few days before she died, one of her docto

The rumors of my demise have been greatly exaggerated
My husband told me that there are rumors that I've died. I'm happy to report that I'm still very much alive. My cancer has gone to stage four but we are controlling it with chemo, the cancer numbers are currently in the normal range. I've stopped blogging to concentrate on my daughters and writing a

An update and a prayer request
Several people have asked about Michele's condition, and have promised to pray for her. On her behalf, I thank you for that. I spoke with her a little while ago, and she asked that I come here and tell you what's going on, and to ask you to pray for her. She isn't able to post here herself right

The peace that passes all understanding, pt. 1
I'm coming out of my normal hiding place to make a few comments. The internet is a strange place. It is often a wonderful place, a helpful place, a unifying place. But it is also alienating, cold, and is the perfect medium in which to depersonalize others. Through it, I have seen people reach out

“Most dangerous” means a VP who doesn’t succumb to LEFTY LIB fascist intimidation tactics. A little less than 4 years to replace the disaster known as The Obamantion….”The Office of the President Elect” hahahahahahahahaha! What a joke…what office? There is no such office, he made it up and put it on a sign….hahahahahahaha! How pathetic and what a sign of the buffoonery to come!

Guy, you sum it all up perfectly. I just wish you had your own blog. No slight of Michelle meant, but I do think Guy Arthur Thomas is another superb representative of the conservative movement as we all need to know it.

In her recent media tour, I caught Palin saying something about how close she came to living in the White House as VP.

Living in the White House as VP? Does this suggest Palin is John McCain’s mistress, or she hasn’t heard the election wasn’t all that close?

Dear Genius but without the genius part being true,
I am a representative of…myself and myself only. I don’t now nor have ever claimed to represent anyone beyond myself which would include a generic or specific group of people. I realize that such a fact isn’t important to you, instead you prefer your imagination which is always WRONG (typical LEFTY LIB wrongness).
Secondly I comment as a pedestrian here and as such people like you (other pedestrians) should have enough maturity to understand the great latitude and casualness that comes with the license of a pedestrian debating and making comments in the comments section of a blog. But again such realities aren’t your forte, fantasy is no matter how erring it may be.
But I do agree with one thing, I should have my own blog.
Next Please!

It’s in the same category as watching FDR on TV during the Great Depression: Speak in terms people understand.
