By all means, let them embrace Obama…
Via Washington Times:
Vice President Joseph R. Biden said Democratic presidential candidates in 2016 should embrace President Obama’s economic policies and “run on what we have done” instead of running away from the administration.
“In my view, those seeking to lead the nation should protect and defend and run, yes run, on what we’ve done and own what we have done,” Mr. Biden said in a speech in Des Moines, Iowa. “Stand for what we have done. Acknowledge what we have done. And be judged on what we have done, if we have any chance for continued resurgence in 2016.”
He added, “Some say that would amount to a third term of the president. I call it sticking with what works.”
Mr. Biden, who never hinted that he might be a candidate himself in 2016, instead sounded as if he were giving advice to other potential candidates. He didn’t mention former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, although Mrs. Clinton has tried to distance herself from the administration’s foreign policy and tweeted last month that Democrats need to “deliver” on Mr. Obama’s economic proposals, implying the president’s programs haven’t helped the middle class enough.
