Jacob Heilbrunn: Obama Shouldn't Bide His Time On Biden

Have we forgotten that when President-elect Obama chose Joe Biden as his running mate it was because Biden is the kind of man who will give his best opinions and be in the room when decisions are made. That's good enough for me!!
Will the author of this rant-article please note that it is not day one yet for the Obama administration. Please withold your judgement till 6 months after the they begin in January.
I'm sure VP -elect Biden appreciates your concern for his political future, Jacob Heilbrunn. You may be surprised to learn that the President-elect and Vice President-elect worked out their relationship and responsibilities before he accepted the position. Mr. Biden is a very intelligent and highly skilled politician. His experience and intellect are valuable assets to the Obama-Biden administration.
Joe Biden is neither naive nor lacking in intellectual capital and he would not have given up his very influential and secure Senate position for the VP slot if he did not believe he would have another base of power and influence in the new administration.
Also, I think you may have read too much into Mr. Biden's comments to Gov. Palin. My take was that Biden was contrasting the Gov.'s apparent growing celebrity status with his own very substantive position as America's next VP. His sphere of influence and power has actually increased since the election. But she remains in the spotlight - which makes her appear vacuous and overly ambitious.
Judging by her comments after the governors met with Obama and Biden, Palin also understood Biden's comments that way. She said, and I'm paraphrasing now; I tried to convince the American people that governors make better Presidents because we have executive experience. Obviously, the people were not convinced. That's why we now have VP-elect Biden instead of me.
