Biden? Really?
So Joe Biden is Barack Obama's running mate, huh? I can't say I'm too enthusiastic about an old white guy who's been in the senate since 1972. So he takes the train home to Delaware every night -- big deal. That doesn't inspire me to think of him as someone I'd gush about running for president in 2016. At least Evan Bayh looks the part of an heir apparent.
Obviously Obama made his decision to counter the objections that he has no experience, especially with foreign policy. I feel like a better approach might have been to take this objection and turn it around; make experience out to be a problem, something we don't need when 200 years of experience has made poor people poorer, rich people richer, the powerful more powerful, and the weak more voiceless than than ever. This seems like business as usual.
