Dr. Jill Biden "not sold on potential Biden run?" |
Well, the Huffington
Post headline tells us, “Jill Not Sold On Potential Biden Run.” The reasons
the article gives avoid one of Joe’s weaknesses that perhaps his wife knows
better than anyone else. The article mentions the grief the family is
experiencing in the aftermath of Beau Biden’s death as a major source of Jill’s
resistance to Joe’s candidacy in 2016. Could be, though, the thought of her
gaffe-prone husband being elected president makes her a little nervous; as well
it should.
As President Obama hinted in his introductory remarks in
March 2010 at Northern Virginia Community College in Alexandria, Virginia, Vice
President Biden could be a problem now and then: Introduced by Dr. Jill Biden, the vice president's wife, Obama
said, "Thank
you Dr. Biden for that outstanding introduction, and for putting up with
Joe"
You have to wonder how many heads of state would be as
gracious as Jill in putting up with Joe Biden’s unfortunate gaffes.
But then anti-Hillary Democrats are becoming increasingly
desperate in their search for a candidate to oppose Hillary Clinton in the 2016
primary. The politically inexperienced Elizabeth Warren has enough common sense
to refuse to run; Socialist maverick Bernie Sanders would have to lunge even
farther to the center than Obama did in order to get elected; and Joe Biden,
most well known for his gaffes, would likely embarrass the Dems or more
accurately, the Dims, even before his nomination.
