1. It really worries me when Obama and Biden hang out together in public...

... IF something were to happen to 'both' of them - then Boehner would become president.
And that would be a disaster in more ways than one!

I will be able to breathe easier on January 21, 2017.
Though I wish President Obama could remain our president forever

I won't like then because it will be former Pres Obama and former VP Biden!

Republicans liked to remind us for some reason.

Here I think the SS is just confident. With new technology and all, it is probably pretty safe and so we can think of it as Biden being under the same amount of protection.

I think this is the most feel-good team I've seen in the WH in my lifetime. I still don't know how Obama stands the pressure, though.

is my theory. With all of his attributes.. being calm in the center of a storm is another one of them. I know it drives some people crazy but I like it.

Yes, I love seeing the two leaders together~

know.

I hadn't heard about bush and cheney's non-relationship. But, I can't imagine bush being too happy with being the puppet for the first years.. if the strings ever were cut.

9. I skipped over the story. Don't want to know the details of either of their lives.

But it was mentioned in a few places today. There is a new book out. Though I do recall Cheney and Rumsfield bought retirement houses not far from each other while they were still in office....... located a few thousand miles from Bush in Texas. I thought at the time it was telling.
