The President made clear he would not stand in his way or counsel him against a run
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.

Here it is !!
Obama and Biden apparently had lunch to discuss a Biden candidacy for President in 2016.
According to CNN, Obama has given Biden his "Blessing".
According to "sources" Obama said:
The President made clear he would not stand in his way or counsel him against a run
Now what will the other Democrat candidates do to get ready for some real "Campaigning" ?
And what will Hillary's "response" be ?
Things will get hotter than hot if Biden says "GO".
The mere "suggestion" is enough to send shockwaves in all directions !!

Aside from Sanders, the D pool is murky enough for Biden to take the plunge, perhaps sans trunks:

It still amazes me that the Dems have gone full Communist with Bernie. They don't even hide it anymore.

The Republicans don't hide the fact that they have gone full blown retard...so why would Democrats hide the fact they've gone full blown Socialist?

There are worse choices.
Biden (though he sticks his foot in his mouth often) is or was quite competent and had an above average grasp of foreign policy.
If he hasn't conformed to the current administration's activist agenda driven foolishness, he will do OK.

Biden = Dan Qualye.
What an unqualified buffoon he is, but I can see why Obama wants him to run. I can't think of anyone else that has a chance to be worse than Obama and potentially make Obama look better.
