Who Needs President Obama to Show Anger, When We've Got Joe Biden

Check out this video of the WH House presser on Thursday and the VP's answer to a reporter's question about Rep. Barton.

LOL - at Gibbs checking to make sure the microphone is working...

1. WOW. GO JOE!

Why in the world did I have to log onto DU to see this? Why wasn't this on the news?

Thnks so much for posting.

2. I love that man. I'm glad he was in the meeting w/Obama. They complement

one another perfectly.

3. Biden is The Man!

I especially love how, try as he did to keep that anger in check, the righteous indignation just wouldn't be denied. That came up out of his core and you could tell he wanted to bust some heads.

4. If I'm a Democratic Candidate for Congress in Nov, My Campaign Commercials

are featuring Barton apologizing to BP and then Biden delivering the smackdown of all smackdowns. And then I'm going to ask the voters who do you want in charge?

7. Bingo. nt

5. I need the President to be

himself and I like Biden just the way he is too.

6. Agree 100%. Biden showed much-wanted anger after the flotilla incident

He even called for an investigation, which we all agree with. We all want an investigation. I think Biden handled himself graciously.

8. I think Gibbs was REMINDING

Biden that the microphone is working :-)

9. That was funny. LOVE Joe Biden! nt

10. I love Joe Biden.

He's been mostly (not always but mostly) on the correct side of everything for 30 years.

11. Perfect way to handle the situation. That was complete command of the room. Obama doesn't need

to do everything. Joe is VP for a reason, and he's a damn good one.

12. Actually, I think Joe went easy on Barton!

I'm sure if he would have answered that question in normal Joe fashion, the media would have been making him out to be an extreme loose canon and diverted more attention away from the oil spill.

I would love to have been a "fly on the wall", when Joe first heard Rep. Barton's apology to BP.

13. Joe had the same look on his face as when Joe Wilson shouted

'you lie' to Obama. Sad, almost, that this is what our Congress has come to.
