Funny, W. knew and had the integrity that he needed help/right hand man to run the country and weld Amerika's power abroad, right or wrong. He picked a capable and intelligent man in Cheney to pull the levers behind the scenes.
Obama, kinda did the same thing but for different reasons. He knew he was in over his head in the oval office. But he needed a goof to give the illusion that he(BO) was squared away in comparision to the town fool(Biden).
Open door number 3. There...Joe Dufus Biden. liar, scattered brained, and good old public service dummy, to make the BO seem like a Rhodes Scholar. Joe is doing the job he was tapped to do. Look and sound like an idiot once a month. His all time classic line last year during the heat of the election. "Republicans gonna put yall back in chains." There, the negros sat confused, pissed then on que, laughed out of confusion. Unreal! The downward spiral continues unabated.
Not to mention his bazarre debate with Ryan. That was beyond belief! Crazy uncle joe drunk and going nuts on national TV. His interuptions of crazed laughter and weird contortions of his mug. Astounding.
