Will he or wont he? GQ Magazines newly released profile of Vice President Joe Biden doesnt 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 doesnt mean I wont 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 wont run in 2016 if she does. And the voluble veep hints at it, too.
The judgment Ill 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 Im the best person in the position to move the ball? And, you know, well see where the hell I am.
Does President Biden seem far-fetched. The piece quotes Sen. John McCain, R.-Ariz., as saying its believable.
Suppose the economy comes on strong. Hes bound to get credit, McCain says. Of course, the State of the Union speech would be the longest in history.
Joe Biden doesnt have a mean bone in his body, McCain says. Hes unique in that hes 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 hes been able to conclude agreements. I would say hes been the most impactful vice president that Ive known certainly in modern times.

I could use a good laugh.
Jimmy Carter published a book titled “Why Not The Best?”
Joe Biden should publish one with the title, “I Can’t Be Any Worse Than Obama, Can I?”
We can die happier, too, if...oh, never mind.
When I really think about it there is a question I must ask, is it just me or is this country already crazier than what is depicted in IDIOCRACY? I ask this as a serious question. If pushed I think I would have to say yes, IDIOCRACY is not “just a heart beat away”, we have already gone beyond it.
