1. thanks! off to read - love the tri-photo there and the lunch metaphor

“Biden eats anything. He’s a pretty easy guy that way.”

The description (“Biden eats anything”) extends to the heaping plate of policy assignments the vice president has been served in recent weeks.

3. Interesting article.

It must be frustrating for Joe at times, but it sound like he has a great working relationship with Obama.

5. Really a good article

First one I read in a while that really captures Joe. I liked this quote from Hillary:

“He knows a lot, and he is extremely experienced,” Mrs. Clinton said of Mr. Biden, with whom she has breakfast each Tuesday. “I think sometimes he has to be a little aware he could literally educate the rest of us on an issue for a long time.”

6. It was cool to hear they have a weekly meeting too. nt

7. Yeah

That was the agreement they had made, but often agreements are forgotten later. Joe clearly knew what he wanted as VP and Obama seems to have agreed.

8. This is a great article!!

Thanks!

Some fave highlights:

-- Mr. Obama said. “Joe is very good about sometimes articulating what’s on other people’s minds, or things that they’ve said in private conversations that people have been less willing to say in public. Joe, in that sense, can help stir the pot.”

-- During the fall campaign, Mr. Obama’s aides ... spent considerable time on the phone with Mr. Biden and his staff over remarks that they had deemed unhelpful. Mr. Biden listened and saluted smartly.

-- “He knows a lot, and he is extremely experienced,” Mrs. Clinton said of Mr. Biden, with whom she has breakfast each Tuesday. “I think sometimes he has to be a little aware he could literally educate the rest of us on an issue for a long time.”

-- Senator Kaufman said, “Ask me who’s the luckiest person I know, I’d say Joe Biden. And if you ask me who’s the unluckiest, I’d say Joe Biden.”
