But this week he looked happy to be out there, and unleashed as he was given a speaking role both at the unveiling of the national security in Chicago and then during a meeting with the National Governers' Association. He even had more to say than Obama did, proves how eager he was to speak!
He even gave Palin a warm welcome, poor guy, he may be bored. He wants to be out there and participate. Well at least he's the future Vice President, and he's not over stressing himself. But I'm sure we'll see much more of him in the near future, I mean, we have to!
However, he got a biographer recently, maybe that'll give him enough attention. The books are likely to his the shelfs in 2012. Vice presidents need biographies too!
Overall, Biden will remain in Obama's shadows, no matter how bright and big his smile in, I kind of feel bad for him, he seems to be a really people-person, and as of now he's not getting much attention and he not doing what he signed up to do yet...but he sure will be soon, and he'll be over his head with work!
However it's great that we have a leader who is eager to work and participate, we need someone at this point in time to be enthusiastic about leading our nation, all he wants is to do his job, and hopefully his eagerness will lead us in the right direction.

This is exciting, it shows how determined he is. It is also a good sign, because it shows how much he enjoys his job maybe.
Interesitng.
Biden had some pretty spectacular gaffes during the election and generally enjoys, perhaps more then others, hearing himself speak. I cant see him playing the part Cheney played during the Bush presidency, it doesn't even seem as if he'll have his own portfolio and that would put the poor fellow below Al Gore in terms of VP power.
