RE: Sen. Joe Biden, D-Delaware
Obama's running mate contenders have been instructed to be mum — a trait that is not considered Biden's strong suit. But he has played by Obama's rules, denying that he was being vetted when he most likely was. He bluntly acknowledged he'd take the job if asked, while jokingly warning Obama might not want him.
"I made it clear to him and everybody else, I never worked for anybody in my life," he told reporters last month. "I got here when I was 29. I never had a boss. I don't know how I'd handle it." (emphasis added)
Um, excuse me, are the voters not your boss??????
This is fundamentally what's wrong with politicians. They answer to no one and do not fear the vote. They know they can buy it with empty promises.
