Slow Joe not running for President

Vice President Joe Biden announced Wednesday he will not pursue a 2016 presidential bid, bringing an end to weeks of speculation over whether or not he would shake up the Democratic primary.

"I think we're out of time, the time necessary to mount a winning campaign," Biden said in a statement at the White House.

Yeah, I'm sad about this too.

We could've had the Three Stooges running for the Democrat nomination--Messalina Agrippina as Moe, Methuselah as Larry, and Slow Joe as Curly Joe.

I was hoping Joe would run and bring out the big guns to use on Hitlery.
But knowing how gaffe prone he is, he may yet shoot down Hitlery's campaign unintentionally or maybe even intentionally.

I was disappointed to hear this as well. he was the only viable threat to Hillary and he would have cost her a bunch of money in the primaries. Plus his one liners would have been great!

His speech today sounded more like a stump speech for a candidate than someone announcing they're aren't running. I think he left the option open to being drafted by the party if things don't go well for Hillary in the coming months.

He talked about how republicans and democrats are political opponents, not enemies and should work towards finding common ground. That was a pain and open slap at Hillary when she said that she counted Iran and Republicans among her enemies.

The only remaining nonhomicidally-megalomaniac or just plain insane Democrat (Just mildly, ummm, 'Confused') says "HELL no."  Oh well.

My two cents here.  Biden was nothing more than a rumor to make it appear like the DEMS may have actually had an alternative to someone other than Hillary.  Him running would have taken votes out of Hillary's camp and probably would have left the DEMS with Sanders as the nominee...which is definitely not who the DEMS wanted.  I don't believe for a minute that the DEMS actually wanted Biden to run.

I believe in the United States of America as a government of the people, by the people, for the people; whose just powers are derived from the consent of the governed, a democracy in a republic, a sovereign Nation of many sovereign States; a perfect union, one and inseparable; established upon those principles of freedom, equality, justice, and humanity for which American patriots sacrificed their lives and fortunes. I therefore believe it is my duty to my country to love it, to support its Constitution, to obey its laws, to respect its flag, and to defend it against all enemies.
