In a prepared statement, the Delaware Democrat said he is "deeply concerned" that the United States is "heading in the wrong direction at home and abroad," but that he believes he can best shape public policy as a senator, rather than as a presidential candidate.

Biden began his announcement by saying, "Let me begin with these words, which I wrote myself and are 100% mine...'Four score and seven years ago...'"

the Delaware Democrat said he is "deeply concerned" that the United States is "heading in the wrong direction at home and abroad,"

One of the other Lilliputians said this last month.

In other words, "I'm not running because I don't have a chance in hell of winning."

Damn! What a loss for us all. Actually, that kudzu thing happening on his head is reason enough to shun him--what the heck is going on up there? Its very confusing.

"Sen. Joseph Biden on Monday ended speculation about his White House aspirations, saying he has decided not to seek the Democratic nomination for president. In a prepared statement, the Delaware Democrat said he is "deeply concerned" that the United States is "heading in the wrong direction at home and abroad," but that he believes he can best shape public policy as a senator, rather than as a presidential candidate.

"At this late date, everything would have to fall perfectly into place and I would have to put on hold what influence I have in the United States Senate in pursuit of what is now too much of a long shot," said Biden, reuence the positions taken by my party's nominee on these issues."

Biden entered the 1988 presidential race, but quit in September 1987 after his campaign was rocked by allegations of plagiarism in some of his speeches and false claims about his academic achievements."

</plagiarism off>

Biden over and out!

Actually, he plagiarized the speech from Lyndon Johnson.
