When asked to give a good reason (other than Corvettes) why he shouldn’t run for President, Vice President Joe Biden told CNN “New Day’s” Kate Bolduan in an interview, “I can’t.”
“There may be reasons I don’t run, but there’s no obvious reason, for me, why I think I should not run,” Biden said.
When pushed for a timetable, Biden said he’d decide, “realistically, a year this summer.”
“For me, the decision to run or not run is going to be determined by me, as to whether I am the best qualified person to focus on the two things I’ve spent my whole life on — giving ordinary people a fightin’ chance to make it and a sound foreign policy that’s based on rational interests in the United States, where we not only are known for the power of our military but the power of our example. I think the future for this country, I know people think I’m too optimistic, but it is incredible. There’s so much just within our grasp. Doesn’t mean I’m the only guy that can do it, but if no one else I think can, and I think I can, then I’d run. If I don’t, I won’t.”
He sounds serious.

Uncle Joe Biden FREQUENTLY can’t think of any reason…on any topic.
Drive Joe, drive!
LOL Love your site.
“Driving Ms. Hillary” LOL
Joe Biden looks an awful lot like Ted Kennedy in that snap shot!
Me? I say it’s not a “Big fu*king deal!”
Imagine what the opponent’s ads would look like. They could play endless clips of Biden smirking as well as hours worth of gaffs and outright lies.
Only in the primaries. No Republican would ever stoop so low as to actually fight to win.
Big FlukeN Deal!

OK, Joe.
There you have it in your own words; not two, but three reasons why you should not run for President.
And you’re welcome Joe, you’re very welcome. No need to say “Thank you.”
Discussion question for American history fans – is Biden dumber than Harding?
(That’s President Warren G, not Tanya.)
Did you really need to qualify that question?
Well…..let’s see Teach….
Obama is way dumber than Harden…. and Obama only erected Biden for VP because he’s way dumber than Obama….
Is this a logic class???????
Biden can’t think of any reason he shouldn’t run for President
Neither can I. Run, Joe. Please!
Sadly, I can: he might win and prove that Obama was NOT the worst possible president.
Stole my thunder. Great minds think alike.
Joe Biden demonstrates that the Founders of our country got it wrong: not every small state has two qualified citizens to send to the Senate…
I’m not sure we can blame it on those dead white guys.
It was the 17th Amendment which screwed up the Senate something awful. So maybe we can blame it on a different bunch of dead white guys.
Joe, Joe Joe. I know it’s a sad situation that you are the V.P of this country, but you frequently make me laugh out loud. Obama picked you because he saw no threat to himself. You are a buffoon and even your Dem buddies think so.
I would support a Joe Biden primary run. The more widely spread Dem donations the better.
Anybody notice that David Axlegrease advised Dem donors to not give to Hillary?
Biden is Veep because Obama doesn’t like to be around anyone smarter than he is and, of the plausible candidates, only Biden met that criterion.
But Biden has run before. He was one of the famous “Seven Dwarfs” in 1988, but had to withdraw early when it was found he had plagiarized not only a speech by UK leftist Neal Kinnock, but Kinnock’s life story as well.
And again in 2008, when he at least made it to the Iowa Caucuses where he won no delegates, and withdrew.
Nothing has indicated any popular desire for Biden to run. Only he seems to think he would make a good President. Democrats have had a habit of nominating their VPs, though: Humphrey, Mondale, and Gore all won the first open nomination after serving as VP.
The more, the merrier. And a guy like Biden isn’t afraid to criticize Hillary, so there is potential entertainment value.
You’re right!
That’s why it took them months and months in 2008 to dig up Biden.
Joe Biden “plagiarized .. a speech by UK leftist Neal Kinnock, but” also plagiarized “Kinnock’s life story as well.”
No wonder Obama named him his StepNfetchit.
Biden was chosen as VP because he brought “gravitas” to the ticket and foreign policy expertise that exceeded the presidential nominee.
The most damning assessment you can make of the Obama administration is acknowledging that those assumtions were correct.
LOL Good one BlueOx!
Biden can’t run. He is a white male and not ‘queer’ in the ‘diverse’ sense.
Obama can’t write and Biden can’t think?
What difference does it make now?
I can think of one good reason he shouldn’t run, he has delusions of adequacy.
