Obama Hired Biden For His Judgment?

Lord lets' hope not because the New VP doesn't show a lot of it when one views the youtubes available attributable to him like this whopping pile of judgment here , yet that is what he claims he said to the Messiah when accepting his offer to become Obama's house boy on Face the nation this morning......

"The Vice President explained that before he agreed to become Obama's running mate, he said, 'I don't want to be on the ticket unless you are hiring me on for my judgment.'": He means judgment like this I suppose

Biden: I Am Not "Deputy President"

- Political Hotsheet: "In his first interview as Vice President, Joseph Biden told CBS News' Bob Schieffer that he does not see his role to be 'deputy president.' Rather, said he hopes to be a 'confidant, advisor and essentially the last guy in the room when [President Obama] makes critical decisions.'

Appearing on Face The Nation this morning, Biden was asked how he views his role in comparison to his predecessor Dick Cheney, arguably the 'single most powerful vice president.'

Biden responded that 'hopefully' he can 'help shape policy' with President Obama, noting that 'thus far that is how it has worked.'

'The agreement that he and I made is that I would be available for every single major decision that he makes … that I would have all the paper, all the material, all the meetings,' he said. 'Again, not for me to make decisions, [but] for me to give the best advice that I can give.'

The Vice President explained that before he agreed to become Obama's running mate, he said, 'I don't want to be on the ticket unless you are hiring me on for my judgment.'" continued
