Just another example of your pathetic demented blogs!
Obama already manages to make himself look as ridiculous and incompetent as he is - he doesn't need you to help make him look even worse.

He knows foreign policy and defense issues of course, but not in a textbook way. He is a street politician who has walked the streets of the planet.
He genuinely wants to serve. He kept telling President Bush in the aftermath of 9/11 that he wanted to help him, privately, anytime. Bush, ill-advisedly, never availed himself of the priceless chance.
Certainly among Democrats, Biden has few enemies. Even most Republicans like him. He is an irrepressible character, full of energy, smiles and, at times, baloney.
The risks? He can't keep his mouth shut. Sometimes he talks before thinking. He is not always a systematic thinker. He loves to hear himself talk. He can get carried away with his enthusiasms. He is a lawyer, but some of his colleagues think, frankly, that he isn't the sharpest knife in the drawer, at least in the academic sense.
There have been some matters of academic ethics and plagiarism. In 1987, his first presidential campaign exploded overnight after he was found to have lifted portions of a speech from a British politician.
He loves the spotlight. Whether he can operate in the shadows is an open question.
He is going to be on a very short rhetorical leash in the campaign. But will an Obama White House be able to keep Biden in check?
For now, here in Denver, most Democrats seemed pleased as the early word leaked out. Biden in some ways is the anti-Dick Cheney. And that's change the party can believe in.
