Biden Positions Himself for Secretary of State
Sen. Joe Biden “was going to be John Kerry’s secretary of State,” according to Newsweek. At least that’s what his aides were led to believe before Kerry lost the election.
“Now Biden, who has been to foreign policy in the Senate what Ted Kennedy has been to domestic policy (almost anyway!), is emerging as a major consigliere to Barack Obama — perhaps with his eye on State once again.”
“Among the top items on Biden’s agenda: making sure that Obama has better luck in November than Kerry did. That means, first, relentlessly attacking and counterattacking the Republicans on the campaign trail, especially on national-security issues. And, second, relentlessly defining John McCain as ‘joined at the hip’ to Bush, as Biden put it in a speech in Washington on Tuesday.”
True to the script, Biden appeared on various talk shows over the weekend and declared, “This administration is the worst administration in American foreign policy in modern history, maybe ever.”
