    Is it just me or does it seem the Secret Service are not fans of Biden or Obama.. They seem to be always in the shadows. There but never heard.. It seems in this Administration they are more out in the open..

        You should check out this book. It has a lot of good gossip.

          I'll have to read more of that. I have seen excerpts out of it.

              You've clearly got a different definition of "fair" than me-- or Merriam Webster. Care to spell it out?

                Drudge has a headline about Obama, Biden and Hillary having a meeting in the Whitehouse. Biden may have finally gone too far with that chains comment. Ironically it gives Obama cover to do what he should have done in 08, pick Hillary as his VP.

                I just really hope they don't put him as Secretary of State, the guy is seriously a dumbass.
                Part of it is based on academic grounds. Among major conferences, the Pac-10 is the best academically, largely because of Stanford, Cal and UCLA. “Colorado is on a par with Oregon,” he said. “Utah isn’t even in the picture.”

                  Wouldn't making the change at this point look like fear or weakness on Obama's side and a concession that he has the wrong VP?

                    Agreed. No way he changes to Hillary now.

                      I don't think it would hurt him as much as continuing to have Biden as the VP. It was a huge mistake in the first place. Seriously, look at that decision, what could someone possibly see in Joe Biden to think he'd be an okay VP? The same of course can be said of John McCain's judgment, but let's face it, McCain was desperate at the time. I think Biden makes Dan Quayle appear like he's a Rhodes Scholar.

                        Yea, I initially thought please don't put Hillary on, she is so popular now.

                        However, this thing will really boil down to being about Obama and his policies. Even if Hillary is on the ticket, it will be his policies. The press will hype it, but in the end I don't think it would change much.

                          Biden is an OK VP but I would be terrified to have him as President.
