Book: Valerie Jarrett got Biden 'psychiatric help' for 2016

"I'm trying to light a fire under Joe," Jarrett is quoted as saying in the book, which claims Obama sees Biden as the best person to carry on his legacy.

My FRiend will have to agree to disagree... Biden is very, very electable... I much rather Hillary run...her unfavorable is below whale poop, which means her base will sit on their hands when it comes to election day. Just look at Sanders base, do you think those people are going to vote for Hillary... LOL... Biden is a very likeable guy, gaffs and all... He is also a ruthless and devious politician.. He made Paul Ryan in the VP debates look like an idiot just by smiling and making quips... Obama is the head of the democrat party, the Clintons are fading away...Bubba can't save her campaign.. The day Biden declares Hillary will be done and buried to sit at home, drink and bitch at Huma... Obama will run a third term, he will use Biden as a proxy... ...................................................................................................................why does everyone seem to forget that biden did run for president and never even got enough support to move the needle? How is being the veep of the worst administration in American history increase his odds this time? When the white horse he rides in on to save the dem party begins to soil, he'll collapse. You are also falling for the media-created narrative that Biden is a popular fun guy. He is a loud mouth, angry guy, who is clearly racist. So racist in fact that when he described Obama as smart in spite of his color, the words just rolled off his lips with unapologetic grace. By the way, those remarks need to be repeated over and over and over again. There is no defense or explanation and a republican would have been retired from politics in disgrace immediately for saying such things.

Yes, slow Joe ran for POTUS was basically flubbed...

Today political environment is far and away different...

He has great name recognition after being VP for 8 years.

The field of people he would be running against is beyond pathetic...

O'Malley - Who ?

Hillary - damaged goods nobody wants to run except the Hillary Zombies.

Sanders - Lots of support in the NE and West....he will need to breach the southern wall of conservative states to even have a chance...not likely

Most important of all - Obama seems to be dead set on denying Hillary the brass ring...

Biden is the perfect guy to be an Obama puppet...a proxy for his third term...
