What does President Obama say was his best decision in the past 24 months? Picking Joe Biden as his vice president.

"The single best decision that I have made was selecting Joe Biden as my running mate," Obama said. "The single best decision I have made. I mean that. It's true."

Obama was in Delaware with Biden campaigning for Democratic Senate nominee Chris Coons, but in his speech seemed to address the rumors that circulated after Bob Woodward said making Secretary of State Hillary Clinton Obama's vice president in 2012 was "on the table."

"I never say anything I don't mean and sometimes I say things I mean I shouldn't say," Biden said. "Delaware is coming back, the United States of America is coming back."

1. Biden was my first choice for the top of the ticket early in the primary season.

So I was thrilled when Obama selected Joe as his running mate. :patriot:

5. Biden is a national treasure.

I'm not always in sync with everything this administration does, but on the whole, i appreciate and respect them.

But Joe is special ... I feel a lot of affection towards him. Every time i see a photo of him or watch him on tv, he just makes me smile. He's infectious that way. :)

7. High praise, indeed.

President Obama's statement is noteworthy for who he leaves out, too.
