VK, just because Biden can name all the heads of state does not make him the so called mentor for the inexperienced Obama. What has Joe Biden accomplished in thirty years? Worse than that he is unknown to many people on the street. You are being quite disingenuous as there is plenty of negative attacks coming out of Obama's camp. What's with the 70,000 seat football field to announce his acceptance speech? I guess the convention center where all his peons spoke just wasn't big enough to carry all that ego with him.
