Quote of the Day

"There's plenty of time to think about 2016. We've got to get this economy working. If three years from now the economy is not working, it's not going to be worth doing much. This is all about making Barack an incredibly successful second-term president. That's my focus."

-- Vice President Joe Biden
, quoted by the Wilmington News Journal, on whether he'll run for president in 2016.

should be the mantra advanced by EVERY DAMNED Democratic legislator in Congress, just as "My number 1 priority is to ensure (President) Obama is a one-term president", was for the modern gop.
