Maybe he's a John Edwards fake but I dunno, he just looks like a regular guy playing with the kids. There's no artifice.

I love Biden. Hope he runs in 2016. .

If this Veep shoots someone in the face, they'll just get wet. Cheney ... well...

(30,885 posts)He's been involved in a few things I don't support, but overall, he's not Dick Cheney. He doesn't tell you to go "f" yourself when you question him. He's got rough edges and he pisses a lot of people off and he's a favorite target for the right wing, but who cares. I like the guy.

(30,885 posts)...I can't recall a single time in 8 years when Cheney did anything with kids, except to maybe yell at them to get off the lawn of his "undisclosed location."
It would be interesting to go back and look at photos of White House kid-centric events like the Easter Egg Roll and see if he was anywhere in the vicinity. My guess is that he wasn't.
