But is the 65-year-old Democratic vice presidential nominee-to-be physically fit to be "a heartbeat away"?
One medical expert says yes, despite his increased risk for suffering an aneurysm.
Biden underwent surgery in 1988 to repair two berry aneurysms on opposite sides of his brain. (A berry aneurysm gets its name because the bulge it creates is so small it looks like a tiny blueberry.)

Setting a stage for him to drop out??
Looks like the Obambi didn’t do his job vetting his VP pick. BTW, I think Biden is going to be a great source of humor on this campaign - blowhard doofus suits him to a T.
Think we should see Biden’s medical report...in full. And Obama’s....
What will Obama do if, God forbid, something happens to Biden?
Name Michelle as co-POTUS, of course.
So if Biden were vice president and died, then
Nancy Pelosi would move up to VP ?
I can’t remember if that’s right, scary thought though.
Has anyone else noted his verbal stammering and incoherence?The Obama campaign certainly should be.
I’m betting something medical is up with him. Neurogists should take a look at his video. Personal evaluations are big part of what they do.
In contrast, the older McCain seems sharper than ever. Even McCain’s mother is more on the ball than Biden.
An increased risk of an aneurysm for WHO? Him, or us?
I love this picture!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
No, she would move into the No. 2 succession (yes, scary indeed) until (Heaven forbid) NObomba appointed a VP. Nixon appointed Ford to replace Agnew.
Limbaugh was just talking about this in the last hour....
From the hair plugs?
” When the first aneurysm ruptured, he suffered neck pain and nausea.
Apparently, the second aneurysm tore without warning signs, but it was repaired a few weeks after the first,
and he was back to work at the Senate soon thereafter.”
I believe this timeline is wrong.
Biden suffered a life threatening pulmonary embolism when he was recuperating
from his two craniotomies.
IIRC, he was out of the Senate for months and months.
I thought about the brain aneurysm after he made his "Barack America" remark
Maybe it isn’t Biden people should be worrying about. While McCain’s mom is still with us, Obama’s is dead as is his father. Plus Obama just quit smoking a year ago.
Long life is influenced by genetics and behavior.
Yes, I think Biden was history after the reaction to Palin came out. Soros won’t allow a loser this time. I predict Hillary will return.
