    Tell us why you think Joe Biden is vice presidential material, if you do. Biden and the president clearly demonstrate that no qualifications are necessary to be elected to those positions. To be effective in those positions is another story.

    Biden has years of experience in the Senate and he possesses a wealth of knowledge on foreign policy. now you tell me if yo agree with that Chris Cristie is not vice presidential material. He is to put it bluntly like he tends to do a bully.

      Biden has been in the senate for forty years. That is proof of his longevity there. But don’t confuse longevity with knowledge or experience.

      Even to recent true observers of foreign policy issues, his judgement on foreign policy issues is questionable at best I won’t subtract points for his being a perpetual gaffe machine. Take a look at some of his positions on foreign policy issues over the course of the last decade.

      As to your question of Cristie’s qualifications, we have ample evidence that he is a very effective executive as is witnessed by his turning around the state of New Jersey. Yes he is blunt and gruff and sometimes those characteristic are very necessary when the adversaries seek to intimidate. So no, I don’t agree that he is not vice president material.

      By the way, if you can think of any Biden successes I’d be happy to hear about them.

      If he has years of knowledge on foreign policy, he should have been Secretary of State. But that would have obligated President Obama to offer the VP slot on the ticket to Hiliary Clinton, and then around the two year mark of his administration Obama would have had to hire a food taster to make sure he didn’t die mysteriously, leaving Clinton eligible for a possible ten year reign. No, Biden is and insurance policy to make sure Obama doesn’t die accidentally. Why do you think Dick Cheney was VP?

    After reading the answers to the article , I agree that he could and ought to have handled the issue with more civility .

    Apparently the press conference was for limited subject matter and the reporter went off topic twice.

    “Did I say on topic?” Christie said to the reporter. “Are you stupid? On topic, on topic. Next question. Thank you all very much and I’m sorry for the idiot over there.”

    The reporter tried again but Christie cut him off before walking away.

    I am an Independent who right leaning at this time as a result of the economic conditions and other issues. However, if Chris Christie is on the ballot there is no way under creation that I would consider voting for the right, period. This man is rude, offensive, acts like a mafia leader and a bully, and I would never consider, even in my wildest dreams, of casting a vote to support him.

    This actually goes right back to the racial hypocrisy addressed in what Mark Halperin said of calling Obama a “dick” last year and formerly with Politico Joe Williams said rather bluntly of Romney’s ease and comfort with whites moreso than with people of color!

    Chris Christie on Morning Joe and Fox news is praised for his tough guy Tony Soprano rude *** behavior. Yet let The President act in the same manner oh ALL HELL would break loose! Again God Bless Racial Hypocrisy in America!
