Biden is the worse Vice President ever. Swearing-in Yesterday, President Obama and Vice President Biden were up in room 450 of the Eisenhower Executive Office Building to welcome in new staff and to have White House senior staff take their oaths of office. The vice president is the one who administers this oath and appeared to forget about it (video below). “Joe, you want to administer the oath?,” he prodded his number two. “Am I doing this again? Oh! For the senior staff,” he suddenly remembered. “My memory’s not as good as Justice Roberts’ … Chief Justice Roberts,” referencing the Chief Justice’s failed attempt to administer the presidential oath of office by heart. Attendees groaned and a smattering of laughter was heard. But President Obama was stone-faced. Some described his reaction as grim. Nudge Some eagle-eye observers saw even more. “What wasn’t noticed so widely was that instantly Obama’s right hand went out and gave Biden’s elbow a warning squeeze. This isn’t Delaware, Dorothy,” wrote the LA Times’s Andy Malcolm.

If Palin became President she would be TOTALLY dependent on her advisors. The head of each department would essentially RUN that area of government independently without any oversight until some major screwups happened. It would be Bush again X's 10. All those Harvard and Yale guys would just snow her. She's seems like a nice person, but is that ALL you want in a President? If I bought stock in a company and they suddenly made Sarah Palin their CEO I'd DUMP that stock immediately. She let her teenage daughter get involved with the son of a "drug dealer" and she couldn't even keep the kid from getting pregnant by that guy. If she couldn't keep track of her own daughter, then how could I expect her to keep track of all the machinations of Corporate America???? And you want HER to be President?
