Jill Biden said on Oprah that

[malaise]

from August Biden was offered either the VP or Sec of State. Why is this 'major' news given that the convention was in August? Apparently everyone was surprised! :shrug:

[spanone]

doesn't seem like a deal to me??

1. I think alot of us knew that already - but obviously Olbermann didn't.

No biggie, except that it gives the pundits some gossip to focus on rather than focusing on Obama's inspiration for America.

7. yeah, I was surprised that he

didn't know that this had been reported before.

2. I didn't know he was offered the SOS job...

It's interesting, but it'll go away.

[RandomThoughts]

3. I think it is Biden being humble

basically saying that Hillary's role as Sec of State will be as important as his role.

The effect of the comment is to make the two jobs, in some way, of equal value.

4. Obama had people floating Biden for Veep before August.

On edit: what's the fuss? He knew who he wanted. If nobody had huge objections and the guy said yes, why the hell not?

5. I think him having a shot at the SOS job is the news out of this....

I don't see it being a big deal, though.

6. Someone is clearly trying to work it into an insult to Hillary.

It isn't.

8. because CNN..

CNN and other tv newses are desperate to build a big deal out of meaningless political BS :* They can talk their heads off about it until it's got the whole country excited but they won't cover the big horrible news a lot of people have no idea is happening.

9. Um, I "heard" about this choice option...months ago

Our "press" seems to be a bit behind :)...but then we knew that:)
