Dialing back his predecessors expansive view of the office, Vice President-elect Joe Biden plans on restoring the Office of the Vice President to its historical role as adviser to the president and tie-breaker in the Senate, an aide to Biden said Saturday.
The declaration results from an attention-getting article coming from the Las Vegas Sun, which is reporting Sunday in a story by Washington Bureau reporter Lisa Mascaro that the new Congress will reassert its constitutional independence from the White House by barring the vice president from joining in internal Senate deliberations, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said in an interview with the Sun.

I look for Biden to not run for VP in 2012 because of “health reasons.” As a result Hillary will be Obama’s VP pick. This is assuming the 2 can get along for 4 years. This would set up Hillary to run in 2016 for president.

Biden isn’t limiting the role of the vice president, Obama is limiting the role of the vice president.

Biden isnt limiting the role of the vice president, Obama is limiting the role of the vice president. Accurately reflecting the fact that Joe Biden is, er, ah, limited.

In fairness to Bloviatin’ Joe, this was an issue before the election, and isn’t just something cooked up now. But it was discussed mostly by the far left, which gives an idea where their thoughts are.

Balding Joe is going to do an Algore. He will disappear for the entire time Osama is in office. You will see him at the State of the Union speech, funerals, and sitting on his butt at the beach. That is about it. Collect pay check for four years, doing NOTHING! Typical dimocrat, something for nothing.

You may be right about Joe bin-Biden being better than Obama. The bar isn’t very high, but i still think Biden is an idiot.
