Barack Obama...chooses Joe Biden as VP. No, not a yes man!

Yeah, I'm a backdoor man...

If anything, I was surprised that Barack Obama elected to reveal his choice for Vice President before the National Democratic Convention rang up the curtain next week.

This week's controversial mud-slinging with John McCain may have played a part in it!

No matter.

Biden comes as a welcome choice to moi.

But, when the mainstream press made mention of his name about two days ago as possible running mate, I was surprised as heck. After all, I didn't realize the Obama team was even considering the old windbag.

But, when it was announced on the sly today that the choice was made - and that the candidate was not a "yes man" - I figured right off the bat it was going to be Biden!

Some have been theorizing that Barack needed a solid candidate on the ticket that had a proven record of "good works" and one that Americans trusted and respected in a myriad of voting sectors around the country.

Yeah, Biden's the man, alright.

After all, he's well-versed in foreign policy and on defense issues.

At sixty-five years of age, he's also a seasoned pro.

For the record, it should be noted that "Joe" has twice-sought a slot at the White House during the course of his long, distinguished, and illustrious career.

In his roles as Chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee and head of the Judiciary Committee, Biden was able to build a solid reputation for himself in American political and social circles over the past couple of decades.

The Obama campaign is expected to release a text message on Saturday morning with all the specifics.

Biden dropped out of the 2008 race for the Democratic presidential nomination after fair poorly in the Iowa caucuses. At that time, he talked dismissed the notion of joining a ticket by virtue of another candidates bid for the Oval Office.

"I am not running for vice president," he said in a Fox interview.

"I would not accept it if anyone offered it to me. The fact of the matter is I'd rather stay as chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee than be vice president."

Well, that was yesterday, and this is today.

At long last, the cat is out of the bag.

And, in spite of the fact savvy voters knew it all along, Hillary Clinton is now finally out of picture.

Ding Dong!

The Witch is Dead.

With Biden in the White House, I'll have more time in the field...
