Joe Biden announced this morning that he's not running for the Democratic nomination for president, and I couldn't be happier. I like Joe, but he said some things recently that, in my opinion, made him appear out of touch.
He actually stated that Republicans were not his enemy, doing so in apparent response to Hillary stating at the last debate that she was proud to have the Republicans as her enemy. Biden even admitted that he likes Dick Cheney and thinks he is a decent man.
Dick Cheney? My question to Biden: Have you been living in a cave for the last seven years?
Republicans have gone out of their way to demonstrate that they consider Democrats as the enemy. The fact that Joe is unable to see the obvious -- even though he had a front row seat to all the GOP fuckery in this regard -- speaks volumes about his ability to assess the current political situation. In other words, it makes him unfit for the presidency. Digby's analysis on this issue, by the way, is spot-on.
Hillary, should she win in 2016, will at least enter her first term with some clarity of thought on the Republican Party and the threat it poses to this country.
