Biden says: “How nice of the Iraqis to do a fireworks show just for me. Stand up, Faruq!”

Nazi Pelosi. She would love to be second in line.

Quick lock Joe Biden up somewhere that is safe.

Cheyenne Mountain or Fort Knox?

This happened last year also.

Is this a Biden PR tactic?

Pray for Biden because I believe Nancy Pelosi is next in line for the VP job...

It's July 4th, and even though Biden is not well liked... enough with the "hope they got him" comments. Even though we don't like him, to other countries he represents our nation. An attack on him or any of our government officials or locations is an attack on us.

Shaking my head.....

Obama is thinking “Damn, was this close to having Pelosi as my VP”

Don't think Piglosi is in line to succeed the veep.

I don't think Nancy would be second in line.. very long . she would still be speaker, and Obama would appoint a vice president.
