WHITE HOUSE: JOE BIDEN WOULD MAKE COMPETENT PRESIDENT

[WestVirginiaRebel]

Breitbart:

White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest signaled that Joe Biden was a suitable candidate for president, as the Vice President currently weighs a potential run for president.

 

Earnest reminded reporters during the White House Press Briefing of Obama’s characterization of his decision to run with Biden on his presidential ticket as the best political decision of his presidency. “I think that should give you some sense of the president’s view of Vice President Biden’s aptitude for the top job,” Earnest said.

 

When reporters asked if Obama considered his selection of Biden to be better than the one to make Hillary Clinton Secretary of State, Earnest did not disagree, but pointed out that Obama also had “warm” things to say about Hillary Clinton.

 

In 2013, Obama also referred to Biden as “one of the best vice presidents in our history.”

 

Earnest also reminded reporters Biden had already run for president twice before he joined Obama’s ticket, pointing out that he was well qualified to make the decision.

 

“I think that you could make the case that there is probably no one in American politics today who has a better understanding of what exactly is required to mount a successful national presidential campaign,” he said.

 

Biden and Obama ate lunch together this afternoon, but no details of the meeting were released to reporters.

What if the WH knew what was coming down on the Emails, and Obama gave Joe the green light to get in?

Obama gives Joe Biden 'blessing' for 2016 bid

Washington (CNN)Vice President Joe Biden received President Barack Obama's "blessing" to make a 2016 bid for the White House, according to a senior Democrat.

 

But that's if Biden chooses to run -- the decision is his. While he doesn't need the President's permission, of course, a potential presidential candidacy was among the topics of their lunch Monday at the White House. The President made clear he would not stand in his way or counsel him against a run, the senior Democrat said.

 

The Vice President was expected to huddle at his residence Monday night with Anita Dunn and Bob Bauer, the husband-and-wife team who have been at Obama's side for much of the last decade, two people familiar with the meeting told CNN. Steve Ricchetti, the Vice President's chief of staff, was also expected to attend.
