Biden seizes the chance to make his next moves in the geopolitical chess match with China and Russia
Biden seizes the chance to make his next moves in the geopolitical chess match with China and Russia. He seeks more power in the Middle East. He looks for ways to help the developing world.
He allows, a little, that Obama has done his best. And what has Obama done? He has presented the domestic programs he promised before the election. Obama has done little, though, to make his case against the enemies that America faces, the evil he said needed to be crushed.
Obama has few long-range plans for combatting terrorism or Syria, Libya or Iraq. He's had trouble managing the shutdown crisis. He hasn't been able to hold foreign leaders to the terms of the deal that averted war.
Biden is likely to draw on his executive experience. He'll make sure that Obama can "make his case to the American people that this is the right path." It's obvious that the Democrats do not have the numbers for the next steps in the legislative process. But Biden will help to continue the conversation and have it more carefully crafted for a public that's growing more skeptical and weary.
But there's no guarantee that Biden's agenda will come to pass. The president is a senior member of the Republican Party. The Koch brothers may find a way to roll back Biden's good work.
"It's over in three days," Biden told supporters. "Let's go win in November!"
But let's remember one thing that Biden said in the interview. "We are the majority. We will be for some period of time."

He may not be the Democrats' leader anymore, but he can still be a leader for Obama.
Biden's popularity was the source of much speculation when Obama tapped him to be the vice president. Will his quick rise become a liability if Obama fails to win?
"Joe Biden is the Democrats' worst nightmare," writes the author of "Biden: The Promise and Peril of America's Vice President."
"As vice president, Biden knows he will lose his position if Obama is defeated, and he is trying to sell the party on Obama's re-election effort by promising to quit in 2010 if it fails."
Could Biden be channeling Al Gore's famous line, "I
