WASHINGTON (The Blaze/AP) — Vice President Joe Biden says there‘s no question that he’ll be in the No. 2 slot on next year’s Democratic presidential ticket.
Asked on a nationally broadcast interview about speculation there might be a change, Biden said he‘s certain he’ll be running with President Barack Obama again in 2012, saying, “Absolutely, positively yes. There’s never been a question about that.”
The former senator acknowledged there had been speculation about whether he would be replaced as the vice presidential candidate (some have said Hillary Clinton would be the new choice).
Appearing on NBC’s “Today” show, Biden firmly asserted he’ll be back on the ticket, saying “the president’s made that clear and hardly anybody is raising it anymore:”
Biden also spoke on the foiled Iran-sponsored terror plot to assassinate a Sudi diplomat on U.S. soil (as well as bomb the Israeli embassy), refusing to call it an act of war and instead characterizing it as an “incredibly serious attempt to do something unheard of” that violated “international norms.”

Posted on October 12, 2011 at 12:52pmPlease be on the ticket Biden, your position of VP has been a joke for the past 3 years. You have made a fool of yourself on timeless occasions. Nobody respects you or takes you seriously. We are afraid to impeach Owebama because that would leave you as Pres. An idiot to say at best. But you can’t top the marxist in charge right now. We the American People have to stand for the Constitution and if the government wont do it. We have no choice but to take it back. Period. Rise or we will get rolled over.

You are a hypocrite to the nth degree. Your tone suggests excitement in obama getting reelected. Yet this is the guy who is killing your jihadi heroes – you know, the ones who kill families, throw rocks at baby girls and pregnant women. Oh, wait a minute, are you excited because he is one of you, doing what it takes to further the cause? hmmm….

Posted on October 12, 2011 at 2:30pmI live in the real world-yes obama is a mass murderer and if there were any justice in the world he too like his predecessor would be on trial for war crimes and crimes against humanity. he’s no better in that regard then the republicans. The reality is also that the right wingers are worse for america and it’s people when it comes to domestic policys and because that is a reality i prefer obama to the right wingers .Oh and the jihadists are simply defending their homelands and their people from unjust western policies against them[propping up dictators, israeli settlement expansion etc.]They are legitimate freedom fighters and could care less about your religion.And your real religion is rabid hypercapitalist american natonalism-the biggest threat to peace and justice on earth today!

Report Post »I’ve read a couple of your posts. Your Anti-American statements have really made me question whether or not you are sane. You spew out idiotic points about hipocrisy and Israel without ever thinking about what you’re defending. If you would think about it for a minute, you would realize that your defense of Palestine and Iran are irrational. Really try to think for a minute. Do you accept the American lifestyle that you live? Do you accept the reality that if you lived the way you do here in the middle east you would be killed or made an enemy? This is of course unless you are just someone who came from the middle east to push your agenda on us. Please let us know a little bit about you so that we can judge properly. Are you a hypocrit or a moron?

Posted on October 12, 2011 at 8:52amThe REAL take-away here is his quote,
“incredibly serious attempt to do something unheard of” that violated “international norms.”
obama is such a cowardly little man, and clearly has NO international policy, that a small little country like Iran is bold enough to launch an attack inside U.S. borders, and our VP is tripping all over his own words to find euphemisms to allow him not to call it an act of war.
The Great and Powerful Ob cannot afford another war. Especially not before Nov 2012! Besides, his ” peace-em-to-death ” / “***-ba-yah” voter base wouldn’t stand for it.
There is NOTHING the man-child can do!
All our armies are busy. We are fighting how many wars now? Oh, don’t forget, “NOT WARS.“ Libya is just a ”kinetic action.”
