Biden is great but that asshole over at CNN thinks the only reason there was an agreement tonight...

Last edited Wed Jan 2, 2013, 12:07 AM USA/ET - Edit history (1)

was because of Biden’s ability to compromise. Biden works for Obama you idiots..Obama tells Biden what he can and cannot do. Its called delegating!!! I turned off MSNBC to give CNN a go.... They are much worse!!!!!

1. Obama gave that negotiating task to Biden because of his compromising skills.

That doesn't take away from Obama's role in getting the bill passed. Obama was wise in selecting Biden to close the deal; he's experienced in working with the Senate & he's widely respected on both sides.

Both Obama & Biden get the props.

4. Another example of the President's smarts

He picked Biden as his running mate years ago partly because of his long service in the Senate. He anticipated that the knowledge and good will built up during Biden's senate tenure would come in handy one day, and it did.

6. MSM will try to minimize Obama's role in this deal and portray him as weak, unable to negotiate

with the "beltway guys." Until the next plane gets flown into a building--then they'll be looking for a O to display some magic. In reality, senior staffers do the heavy lifting and iron out the deals. MSM seems to overlook this fact.
