Biden Got Out ‘Over His Skis,’ Says Obama
By JOHN H. CUSHMAN JR.
President Obama gently chided his vice president for forcing his hand on the issue of gay marriage, but said he would have gotten around to declaring his own change of mind anyway before going to the Democratic National Convention in North Carolina.

“He probably got out a little bit over his skis, but out of generosity and spirit,” Mr. Obama said when asked whether Mr. Biden had “jumped the gun” by going first a few days earlier.

that this was an orchestrated "oops".

None the less, it was far overdue and suggests just how confident the Obama team is on re-election this November.

its plain for all to see. I think we the voters done real good when we voted them in office. The pukies have turned everyone off except the ones who are just like them and theres not enough just like them to sustain their hold on the house so I suspect this duo will be able to do great things this next term.

I think he's been a fantastic VP, verbal gaffes and all. He's got a good heart, and I think he advocates very well for the POTUS and this administration. He's able to relate well with people and I think he did a great job on the campaign trail back in '08 and will do the same this year.

I hate US football, but sometimes it's still the best analogy.

What a team Obama's got! I am very, very impressed.
