Biden's mouth

One of the biggest mysteries surrounding Barack Obama is why he chose Joe Biden as his running mate. His propensity to say the wrong thing at the wrong time, since expanded upon, was well known when Obama announced the choice last summer.

Now I happen to think that there is a very good chance that Obama's stimulus bill will fail. Biden isn't very optimistic either. Throwing aside whether Biden has a good point, is the former Delaware senator the kind of person you'd want on your team?

OBAMA: All right. Major Garrett, where's Major?

(FOX NEWS' MAJOR) GARRETT: Mr. President, at a speech Friday that many of us covered, Vice President Biden said the following thing about a conversation the two of you had in the Oval Office about a subject he didn't disclose.

"If we do everything right, if we do it with absolute certainty, if we stand up there and we really make the tough decisions, there's still a 30 percent chance we're going to get it wrong."

Since the vice president brought it up, can you tell the American people, sir, what you were talking about? And if not, can you at least reassure them it wasn't the stimulus bill or the bank rescue plan and if, in general, you agree with that ratio of success, 30 percent failure, 70 percent success?

OBAMA: You know, I don't remember exactly what Joe was referring to...

(LAUGHTER) ...not surprisingly.

The Dan Quayle comparisons are already starting, but Quayle never undermined the policies of his boss.

Will there be a "Dump Biden" movement in 2012?
