Or Obama who not only did nothing, but had Joe Biden as his running mate?

Joe Biden was a very well known senator before he became Vice President, any criteria you use to call yourself relatively informed about US politics when you had never heard of Joe Biden is flawed.

Maybe what Joe Biden often said would be the right stuff -- partition the place into separate regions for Sunnis, Shiites, and Kurds.

Perhaps Joe Biden being vice-president was the tipping point.

There's a reason I linked to the general page of the bill (in addition to making it clear Biden introduced it in the Senate).

Have we forgotten that republicans were on the right side of crypto war 1 and the first patriot act (aka joe biden's omnibus antiterrorism act)?

Does President Biden sound pleasant to you?

I stand by my assertion that the majority of Americans have no clue who Biden is and I swear to you, I wish I didn't either.

They still haven't given up hope on Afghanistan, but I imagine their view will change in the unlikely event Obama decides to go with Biden over McCrystal.

And we do have such trains; spent a lot of money on the trains; our VP Biden spent a lot of time on those trains between Baltimore and DC; but those trains lose money.

To paraphrase the famous cartoon: if you locked people in a box for a thousand years with 500 still frames of Joe Biden eating a sandwich, by the end they'd be adamant that the pictureas are the prettiest thing ever produced on Earth.

Knowing Joe Biden's name is nothing more than trivia for 99% of Americans and has little to do with knowing "how it actually works".

For example, the "Omnibus Counterterrorism Act of 1995"[1] by Joe Biden and how Bill Clinton[2] was actually the first president to authorize extraordinary rendition to countries known to torture suspects.

The current HN title ("Joe Biden campaign accepting Bitcoin donations") is, indeed, completely false (and not at all what the linked article reports), as such a campaign neither exists nor is referred to by the source article.

Joe Biden's speech in 2012 touches upon similar themes that Sheryl writes about.

Given Joe Biden's long and fairly distinguished career in the Senate, I would think most adults should know who he is, at least in outline, and know that he's the Vice President.

If you don't recall the name of Joe Biden, I very much doubt you know what the administration has done in enough detail to judge whether they were crimes, or if he had any involvement in them.
