I really do hope the Court Jester runs for President, mainly because he will say all kinds of stupid things and has no chance of winning.

Via The Hill:

Vice President Biden would be “a superb president,” President Obama said in an interview published Monday.

“He has seen the job up close, he knows what the job entails,” Obama told The New Yorker.

“He understands how to separate what’s really important from what’s less important. I think he’s got great people skills,” Obama said. “He enjoys politics, and he’s got important relationships up on the Hill that would serve him well.”
The question for both Biden and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, Obama said, is whether they actually want to run for president, something he described as a “pretty undignifying process.”

“I think that, for both Joe and for Hillary, they’ve already accomplished an awful lot in their lives,” Obama said. “The question is, do they, at this phase in their lives, want to go through the pretty undignifying process of running all over again.”

The president’s interview was included in a broader profile of Biden featured in this week’s issue of the magazine.

Of Biden, Obama said: “He has seen the job up close, he knows what the job entails.

“He understands how to separate what’s really important from what’s less important. I think he’s got great people skills. He enjoys politics, and he’s got important relationships up on the Hill that would serve him well.”
