V.P. Biden Suffers a Terrible Illness!

Ha, Obama has a case of the same ailment,

Obama: "I'm not on the ballot but my policies are."

I will no longer look at Joe Biden as a reason to tolerate criminal incompetence. That may actually have been part of Obama's political planning, just as toying with the Birth Cert issue ...to this day...has been part of a strategy to distract his opposition. Nope.. Game time has ended now that he's decided to embrace royal decree.

I'll take Biden 10x's over and be happy we have him..if it means removing this imposter who would imagine himself the first American King.

@wrabbit2000,adjensen,Bassago,@gryphon66,

Just out of curiosity, what qualities, qualifications does everyone see as critical in the job title of POTUS?

That is true about Biden, and where he is very different from his Boss. Obama was in the Senate just long enough to hate it, I think, and he barely bothered to show up and vote during his time as a State level office holder, so compromise is something he's literally never done in life. At least as a regular part of getting any business done. I'm not sure he knows how to on an intellectual level.

Biden has been an old vet of the Senate and Congress overall for most of his working life. He wouldn't still be there if compromise were a foreign concept, and especially in a tight little place like Delaware. Ever been there? It feels more like one of Stephen Kings island communities for the sense of being removed from the rest of the rat race. I say that in a positive way too, not negative...but Delaware is too small to tolerate complete morons.....even if that is the persona Biden has built and embraced for the public.

Hillary? I really don't know.... I'm still mixed. She is a progressive's progressive and her own words have said she is one in the mold of Woodrow Wilson. In other words...the most extreme of the progressive (regulate me to DEATH!!) mindset. I have no tolerance in any way whatever for that mindset at national leadership level. Let states go die from a thousand rules if they want to live that way ...but not all 50, please. :)

On the other hand, Hillary (also known as the Steel Magnolia during her time as First Lady) is a ball buster of the first order, and she wouldn't be wishy washy and wimpy about making decisions to follow behind as our current one is. Hillary may make the WRONG decisions..but she'd MAKE some and she'd stick with them. I'd rather have misguided leadership than none at all.

The President must be a strong individual.  True strength, not bravado.

The President must be a reasoning individual, able to see the merit in either side of an argument, and make a choice which is the best possible given the circumstances.

The President must have charisma, must be personally charming, magnetic and believable.  

The President must have extensive knowledge of how government REALLY works, as opposed to how it should work, might work, etc. etc.

Thats a start, anyway.

I'm looking for a leader.

I care less about how (s)he talks and more about what (s)he is saying.

Congress is supposed to represent us.

A president is supposed to lead the nation.

I'd want to see examples of leadership.
