Biden worries about son in Iraq

Biden and Obama both said they talk about the vice president's sometimes colorful gaffes.

"If Joe was off message on a particular day, usually I don't have to bring it up," Obama said. "He's the first one to come to me and say: 'You know what? I'm not sure that's exactly how we want to position ourselves.'

"The flip side is: If I'm off message, he's not going to be bashful about saying, "You know, Mr. President, I think ...,'" Obama added.

Biden’s son is a JAG (Lawyer) in Iraq.

Gov. Palin’s son is in the Army in Iraq and in a Stryker group in the middle of the War

“Still and all, he can’t miss an opportunity to at least make us a little queasy.”

Calling his children “honey” is a little strange, but I think it’s better to shower your children with too much affection rather than too little (even when they are grown men).

I’m thinking that the hype about them - probably not the photos and memos themselves - will spark more anti-American sentiment. I hope not, but I’m thinking this is going to play into our enemies’ hands.

I couldn’t either CL. also I don’t understand the children’s use of “I’m like and then he’s like and then I’m like” nonsense they include in just about every conversation, long or short. oh well.

I'd worry a little less if my son (like Biden) was serving as a JAG lawyer. Young Biden isn't out clearing IEDs.

I was going to point that out. Plus Beau was able to pull some temp duty at the Pentagon at the time his dad was inaugarated as VP.

There's danger everywhere in Iraq, but since Joe likes to be the center of everything, he wasn't about to inform the reporter that his son wasn't on front line duty.

Beau is the heir apparent to Joe's Senate's seat in the 2010 election. Ted Kauffman is a placeholder Senator.

The sheeple will never see that. All Beau needs is a "hero" moment for the MSM to latch onto.

Maybe Joe should have his “heir transplanted” to a safer location
