This is the Vice President You Wanted

For those of you who voted for the Obama/Biden ticket and spent the campaign dishing Palin, are you now sure that the VP you elected is the right person to be a heartbeat away from the Presidency?

Earlier this week Mr. Biden commented that the new tunnel linking New Jersey with Manhattan would be a benefit for automobile traffic. Only problem is that the tunnel is only for trains. Gosh, I knew that and I am sure I don't read as many newspapers as Biden. And, why would a Democrat be happy about bringing more automobiles into New York City? One would think that liberals would favor mass transit. Perhaps he doesn't understand his political philosophy.

Also earlier this week Mr. Biden told a group of law enforcement officials that the Supreme Court nominee "has your back." Does he really believe that Sotomayor will care less about civil liberties and do whatever law enforcement wants? This is another major departure from his political philosophy. By the way, this comment was not reported in the mainstream media.

When you vote for charisma over competency, you may get unintended consequences.
