Just over two years ago, then-Vice President Joe Biden announced that he would not run to succeed President Barack Obama in 2016. This week he admitted he regrets that he doesn’t occupy the Oval Office, given the potential he sees in the United States.

“I regret that I am not president because I think there is so much opportunity,” Biden told Oprah Winfrey in a clip from an OWN interview aired exclusively by “Good Morning America” on Thursday. “I think America is so incredibly well positioned.”

Biden, who served eight years as Obama’s vice president after 36 years in the U.S. Senate, said he did not have second thoughts, however, about the reasons he passed on the race.

“I don’t regret the decision I made because it was the right decision for my family,” he said. …

Biden was never going to be President. If there was ever a credible move to replace Hillary with him, he’d have ended up having an unfortunate accident resulting in five bullets accidentally wedging themselves into the back of his head.

President of what? A novelty toy company? A chain of rat-themed birthday/pizza palaces? A model train shop?

Joe, that ship sailed a LONG time ago. You couldn’t muster support in either 1988 or 2008, and you may be well past the “use by” date.

The Presidency is not a job for “part-timers” or for those who have neither the physical stamina nor the necessary frame of mind to have the fire burning in your belly, 24/7/365 for a period that may last up to eight years.

And twelve years from now would put you well up into your ninth decade of life.

Go home, Joe. There are no longer any higher aspirations.

I know a couple that had their rates raised to $2,700 a month. It’s outrageous, absolutely disgustingly outrageous. And is anybody protesting this? Oh of course not. While Congress gets FREE healthcare, those of us who own businesses or are self employed are utterly screwed. What do pigs like John McCain care, he gets free health care.

Isn’t that lovely! The politicians who did this should be executed an masse...if there were any justice. Tax code also a capital offense. And to think of all the men and women who gave their lives for this government.

If Creepy Joe runs, I’d love to see some opposition ads based on these images:
