"Go ahead, Joe. Make my day!!"

Will he or won’t he? GQ Magazine’s newly released profile of Vice President Joe Biden doesn’t answer That Question — will he make a play for the White House in 2016 — but it does make clear that the issue is on his mind. Literally.
“I can die a happy man never having been president of the United States of America,” Biden tells Jeanne Marie Laskas. “But it doesn’t mean I won’t run.”
The piece describes Biden as being “a Hillary Clinton away from the White House” — a nod to the loose Inside-the-Beltway consensus that he won’t run in 2016 if she does. And the voluble veep hints at it, too.
“The judgment I’ll make is, first of all, am I still as full of as much energy as I have now — do I feel this?” he said. “Number two, do I think I’m the best person in the position to move the ball? And, you know, we’ll see where the hell I am.”
Does “President Biden” seem far-fetched. The piece quotes Sen. John McCain, R.-Ariz., as saying it’s believable.
“Suppose the economy comes on strong. He’s bound to get credit,” McCain says. “Of course, the State of the Union speech would be the longest in history.”
“Joe Biden doesn’t have a mean bone in his body,” McCain says. “He’s unique in that he’s had some role in every major national-security crisis that his nation has faced in the last thirty-five years.”
And, McCain adds, “look at the number of times he’s been able to conclude agreements. I would say he’s been the most impactful vice president that I’ve known — certainly in modern times.”

Doe already then
McCain slobbering all over Biden. Has he ever said anything that nice about any Republican? Besides her girlfriend Grahamnesty.
McCain would say this because he has the same personality as Biden without the fast mouth.
I wish him nothing but happiness...and soon!
Some here would like to see it,, it would mean O left office early, hopefully impeached.
A lot of us will be happy.
Happy, sad indifferent I just want Joe to ....
I feel the same way about that, Joe.
Well Slow Joe, part of it is true now when you consider you are “brain dead” and you aren’t president.
Happy, Sad, Whatever.
Just DO it.
How does Saturday sound for you, Joe?
Joe Biden doesn’t have a mean bone in his body because McCain has ALL of them......he’s MEAN, little minded man.
Idiocracy is just a heart beat away....
Here's the democrat plan for 2016:
Of course this ticket will win running away with an overwhelming combination of Black, Latino, LBGT, and female votes. The Republican nominees will be Dole/Romney, or a utility Bush yet to be named.
Right after the inauguration, Joey Plugs' brain explodes again, this time for good. Michelle steps up, divorces Barry, who joins Reggie in Hawaiian exile. (As you may know, Obama has a thing for Hawaii... and Reggie.)
Michelle will found a hereditary monarchy in 2020, she will be crowned in the Cathedral of St. Trayvon by Cardinal Al Sharpton.
Your choice? Well, it's British Columbia or Saskatchewan. Leave now, before real estate skyrockets there.
I’d kind of like to see him be president...after the impeachment.
Do it right now Joe and take that Fking Mclame with you.
Yes, joe, and like everyone else reading this, I can die happier too.
Well, then, his happiness unto death is assured in this regard, because he’s never going to be President.
