WHY WILL BIDEN REDUCE VEEP ROLE?


POLITICO VIA AOI VIA GLENN:
Joe Biden is laying plans to significantly shrink the role of the vice presidency in Barack Obama’s White House, according to an official familiar with his thinking. ... Biden will not begin every day with his own intelligence briefing before sitting in on the president’s. He will not always be the last person Obama speaks to before making a decision.
THEY PICKED HIM TO BE OBAMA'S BACKSTOP - READY TO STEP IN ON A MOMENT'S NOTICE, BUT NOW THEY ANNOUNCE HE WON'T EVEN RECEIVE DAILY BRIEFINGS!?!?!

WHY IS THAT, REALLY?
  • AND THAT THIS WON'T BE ANNOUNCED UNTIL AFTER INAUGURATION AND AFTER ALL OBAMA'S KEY CABINET APPOINTMENTS WILL BE CONFIRMED.
  • I BELIEVE THIS BECAUSE BIDEN'S RECENT FLUBS ARE WEIRDER THAN CAN POSSIBLY BE EXPLAINED BY ANYTHING ELSE.
IF TRUE: SAD.

    I just posted this at Hot Air in regard to the question of Biden having dementia "

    I think reliapundit might be right. I was a psychiatric nurse for many years and many of Biden’s utterances when he was allowed in public were the kind of thing that could be expected from someone who is a short way into dementia. What he said would have the ring of truth but would not stand up to fact checking. He was on the intelligence committee but a lot of what he said about Lebanon and France was plain out wrong. And the strange story about FDR on TV in 1929 is out there. The medical term is confabulation and it is the creation of seemingly plausible story to fill in the memory gaps. I know Obama never released his own medical records. Did the same happen with Biden? Because any competent doctor would catch this. Maybe the doctor was just a Democrat.

    IT'S SAD IF TRUE, AND I AGREE P THE FDR GAFFE AND THE LEB GAFFES WERE OVER THE LINE.

    Early dementia is indeed a possibility, though I hadn't considered it until now. I do have some familiarity with dementia in my family, and Biden's gaffes are consistent with it.

    Biden will not begin every day with his own intelligence briefing before sitting in on the president’s.

    Then he shouldn't be VP.
