President Joe Biden https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_presidential_lin...

My theory is that Biden was a firewall against the impeachment/resignation of Obama. And people thought Dan Quayle was bad...

My theory is that Biden has decades of experience and a speciality with international affairs, and was chosen as a counterpart to Obama's freshness- or inexperience, if you spun it another way.

But hey, if you want to belittle his achievements, go ahead, I doubt he cares.

Are these people serious?

Pushing the blame fully on Obama is absurd. Yes, he is a shit president, just like those that preceded him. But the whole government is shit. Congress sucks. The SC doesn't give a damn about the law. The whole administration, hell, all three branches are to blame, not one person.

Yeah, that is the party line, but he hasn't exactly lived up to the hype so far. I certainly hope he doesn't listen to me, because frankly he shouldn't if he ever believed if he deserved the position.

Don't forget, Dan Quayle had achievements too, just not ones I cared about either.

Even if you don't agree you should SIGN the petition.

Why? Because I want to see what happens. Bla bla it's not all his fault, I know. But I want to see how this will be handled if it ends up with 10 million signatures. I want to see the outcome.

He's obviously not going to resign but for the sake of the experiment, please sign it so we can see the result.
