I Could Have Been Asked To Be Obama’s VP

As everyone knows by now, Joseph (just call me Joe) Biden, currently the senior United States Senator from Delaware has been selected to be the Democratic Party vice presidential candidate in the 2008 presidential election, as running mate of presumptive presidential nominee Barack Obama.

I realized, in looking at Biden’s professional and personal vital we share many similarities. Biden and I were born in the 1940s (that’s all I’m going to say about that). He was born in one State but lives in another, me too. He began his professional career in 1972, I began mine in 1971. Biden has had a hair transplant (in front), I thought about having one, briefly. His hair has turned white, what hair I have left is going in that direction. Biden is known as a high energy passionate person who will fight hard for causes in which he believes, not even close there. He now wants to be a Vice President, I am already President of my own company. Biden has a reputation of talking too long, saying things that have come back to haunt him and has been accused of taking too long to say what he means…..Oh, oh, it may be time to stop.

I felt complled to tell both presumptive nominees if asked to be their running mates I would have to decline as I already have enough on my plate. There is a famous quote: If nominated I will not run, if elected I will not serve. I sent that quote via text message (that’s the new thing now, because Obama likes to do that) to both presumptive nominees which may explain, I think, why the media is not camped outside my door. Just a small black kitten. And that is only because I feed her every morning…

Who wants to be the attack dog that goes after the other party’s presidential candidate, attend funerals, and, you know, hold the second highest position in the land anyway.

Biden does…
