President Obama's explanation during his press conference Monday of a comment made last week by Vice President Joe Biden appears to raise that question.
Yin and yang... or, oil and water?

President Obama's explanation during his press conference Monday night of a comment made last week by Vice President Joe Biden appears to raise that question.

FOX News' White House correspondent Major Garrett asked the president to explain a Biden comment made last Friday, during which he said, "there's still a 30 percent chance we're going to get it wrong."

OBAMA: You know, I don't remember exactly what Joe was referring to...

(LAUGHTER) ...not surprisingly.

But let me try this out. (MORE LAUGHTER)

I think what Joe may have been suggesting -- although I wouldn't put numerical -- I wouldn't ascribe any numerical percentage to any of this -- is that, given the magnitude of the challenges that we have, any single thing that we do is going to be part of the solution, not all of the solution.

this is just a few pieces out of a longer article...click on the link to read the entire article...

He did a great job answering that question. And President Obama's much, much smarter than you.

He did, but he made Biden look like a blubbering idiot. I get the impression Obama doesn't care for Joe. Maybe his breath smells too much like shoe leather or something.

No, he didn't make Biden look like an idiot, he's smarter than that...he explained what they had been talking about but has every right to leave out specific details. I think he explained it well.


Letterman on Biden:

"It was so cold out Joe Biden put his foot in his mouth just to keep it warm !"
See! Even Liberal Democrats can find that funny!!!

Obama KNEW what he was getting in a VP... a good one. You can focus on Biden's gaffs and ignore what he has done and has been to America ..and that's your choice ...and your loss.
