Joe Biden was chosen because they require a VP. He is a good ole boy Democrat and was tolerated by Obama as someone who would not take away from his image during the campaign. As Obama's cabinet and staff picks are showing, Biden was not picked for his foreign policy experience although the media hyped it that way. Biden does not have the equivalent skills sets or insight as Cheney and could not manage as Cheney did without exposing Obama's inexperience. Biden really needs to act more like Cheney in listening before engaging his mouth. Obama like Clinton will never be unilateral and like Clinton I would not expect unilateral decisions in U.S. interests. As Powell said, he is a man of consensus, always deferring to the multilateral (citizen of the world). Bush used Cheney as an advisor to work the system and drive the focus of his programs to closure. Closure is not an issue with consensus, therefore Joe doesn't have to assume that role, thank goodness.

I think you forgot one. Dick Cheney KNOWS what he's talking about when it comes to Foreign Policy, and PROTECTING the country. Joe Biden has been wrong on EVERYTHING. Wrong on the COLD WAR. Wrong on pulling Military Aid from our ALLIES in South East Asia. Aid that was PROMISED to them by BIDEN, and his boys in Congress. Wrong on the Shah. Wrong on stationing Intermediate range Nukes in Europe, to counter the Warsaw Packs' missiles. Wrong on Latin America. Wrong on Grenada. Wrong on Panama. Wrong on the first Gulf War. Wrong on a response to Al Qiada in the Clinton years. And WRONG on the IRAQ WAR. And HE'S the EXPERT of the two. Pathetic.

Katrina

george bush and cheney in eight years have come damn close to destroying this country. Incompetent would be one of the better words used to describe either one of them. They should be required to fly a commercial airline back to their respective "home" states. 56 days until this country is over their reign of terror.

Gommygommy said: "I think you forgot one. Dick Cheney KNOWS what he's talking about when it comes to Foreign Policy, and PROTECTING the country". Dick Cheney said: "My belief is we will, in fact, be greeted as liberators". March 16, 2003 "We know he's been absolutely devoted to trying to acquire nuclear weapons, and we believe he has, in fact, reconstituted nuclear weapons." --March 16, 2003 "In Iraq, a ruthless dictator cultivated weapons of mass destruction and the means to deliver them. He gave support to terrorists, had an established relationship with al Qaeda, and his regime is no more." –Nov. 7, 2003 "I think they're in the last throes, if you will, of the insurgency." -- on the Iraq insurgency, June 20, 2005 Cheney has been wrong on so many issues regarding the Middle East, Terrorism and Pakistan he's into Bushian Territory. He's everything that is WRONG with the Republican party. You don't know the first thing about foreign policy or even history, you're just a Republican drone spewing bile because you think America should kick everyones butt to keep them in line, that didn't work then and it doesn't work now, just ask some of the 4000+ families of deceased soldiers who served in Iraq for a totally WORTHLESS venture.

Biden better not be like Cheney, because it was the left-wing illuminati and him that called Cheney the most dangerous VP right?

Question of the day

White House officials and Senate Democrats met in private three times last week to craft health care legislation. Do you think these discussions should be more public?
