November 28, 2008Bidentity Crisis -- Where's Joe?A good headline from The Denver Post / Politico. It seems more and more certain that Vice-President-elect Biden will not enjoy a high-profile policy role in the new administartion: Yet in a column last week The Washington Post's David Ignatius called Biden "the incredible shrinking vice president-elect." "Where is he these days?" Ignatius wonders. "Do they have him in a box? He can't be happy at the idea of considering Clinton as foreign policy tsarina -- wasn't Biden's foreign policy savvy the reason he was picked?" Those close to Biden say he views his role as providing counsel to the president — a function that's often not visible to the public -- and that he is doing just that. We have much to be thankful for. Obama Administration Posted by John Kranz at November 28, 2008 11:16 AM |
