Back when I first heard that Barack Obama had selected Joe Biden as his running mate, I wondered, “How’s that dynamic going to work out?” The Joe Biden I knew was a senior senator who liked his Amtrak commutes, his role on the foreign relations committee and his independence. But then Obama appeared on “Meet [...]
Health care reform is the “foremost economic and moral issue that this administration is determined to deal with,” Joe Biden said during a recent White House meeting. “Our hospitals are cracking under the weight of providing quality healthcare for Americans who lack insurance,” he added. “The status quo is simply unacceptable. Rising costs are crushing [...]
It’s hard to know exactly what Joe Biden is thinking when he makes offhanded remarks about Israel, Iran and the economy. (But let’s save the economy for another day, shall we?) There are few things one can really say about a country like Iran without inflaming some sort of Anti-Western backlash. Yet if our VP [...]
The Veep sat down with Stephanopoulos recently and shared some sobering news about our economic health and how their projections and predictions were too rosy. “The truth is, there was a misreading of just how bad an economy we inherited,” said Biden, who is leading the administration’s effort to implement it’s $787 billion economic stimulus [...]
In a show of good faith, Vice President Joe Biden flew to Baghdad Thursday evening on his unprecedented three-day visit. Typically, a high-level official – like Barack Obama, George W.

As you may recall, on the campaign trail, Joe Biden was heralded as “head of the Middle Class taskforce†– whose activities can be viewed here. Yet the question remains: What has Joe Biden done for the Middle Class? Several months ago, I checked the Middle Class Task Force site only to find a discussion [...]
“They’re either going to have to agree with us, come up with an alternative or we’re not going to have health care… and we’re going to get health care.” (NBC, “Meet the Press,” 6/14/09) There are few areas Democrats and Republicans disagree in more than healthcare. The Obama-Biden administration has made it abundantly clear that [...]
I’ve heard people really laying into Biden lately, especially over his admission that he would advise his family to not travel on trains and planes, but I genuinely don’t think he’s doing such a bad job or that it’s a big deal.
