April 19, 2016, 10:20 am Biden: I'm not 'Goofy Uncle Joe'
By Jordan Fabian
Vice President Biden is not a fan of being labeled “Goofy Uncle Joe.”
“No, I'm not comfortable with Goofy Uncle Joe,” he said in an interview with CNBC’s John Harwood.
Biden said voters took him seriously when he considered running for president last summer.
“And, by the way, the so-called Goofy Uncle Joe — if you notice, I beat every Republican in every poll when they thought I was running,” he said.
“You notice that my favorability was higher than anybody that's running for office in either party.”
The vice president has drawn attention for his off-scripted moments of candor during his seven-plus years at President Obama’s side.
At the signing of the Affordable Care Act in 2010, Biden was caught on a hot mic telling Obama the legislation was a “big f------ deal.” And Biden’s slapstick alter ego in The Onion has almost become synonymous with the man himself.
But Biden insisted his “goofy uncle” reputation would not overshadow his legacy, unlike some of his predecessors.
Harwood pointed out Dan Quayle was known as “dumb,” Al Gore was known as “weak” and Dick Cheney was known as “Darth Vader.”
Biden said he only agreed to leave the Senate for the job of vice president, which carries “no inherent power,” because he was granted real responsibilities.
“When the president asked me to consider this again — and I said yes — he said, ‘What do you want?’ I said, ‘I want to be the last guy in the room,’ ” Biden said.

He changed his name to “Delusional Uncle Joe”....
You want fries with that?
LOL.
Near moron Biden gets a free ride in life.
Politics aside (I know. “Other than that, Mrs. Lincoln...”), I like Joe. But Goofy is probably too mild a nick for someone who mistakes another’s biography for his own.
they kicked Biden out of Disney World. They found he was effin Goofy!
No, he’s just the Drunk Uncle
He’s right. He’s CRAZY Uncle Joe.
Oh, geez, he thinks he’s a mailbox again.
"I'm not dumb! I'm smart! And I want RESPECT!"
And what a fine car in the hands of another wrong guy.
Fredo Corleone: ‘It ain’t the way I wanted it! I can handle things! I’m smart! Not like everybody says... like dumb... I’m smart and I want respect!’
I don’t think ‘goofy’ was the operative word.
Now when he grabs the shoulders of females he doesn’t know.....
Great minds, etc. Beat me by 50 seconds.
His moniker is “Creepy Uncle Joe”!
I understand that Obola has to stop the ice cream truck out in front of the White Hut if Joe hears the music!
