Where's Biden?

Dear Diary,

I’m becoming increasingly concerned with the way the Obama Administration has been run. I haven’t done anything! Yeah, Barack brought me cupcakes. Big deal. I want power, and meetings, and something to do besides sit around and twiddle my thumbs! Plus, others are noticing that I haven’t been give any responsibility yet. Just takes that New York Times article – how embarrassing! If every other president has defined what the Vice President’s role will be up until Barack, then something isn’t right.

I always thought that I would have a big foreign policy role. And everyone’s saying that I’m going to be the counselor. But the only counseling I’ve done is to say that I approve of all the choices, and that’s nothing! Of course I approve – what Democrat wouldn’t? But come on – everyone knows that I have the experience to really be able to lead our country, especially abroad. Yes, I approved of the decision to install Hillary Clinton as the Secretary of State. But from what I’ve been hearing, she’s going to be the one in charge of foreign policy! And who has more foreign policy experience than me?

I need to discuss this with Barack sooner rather than later. I’ll probably wait till Monday though. Can’t do it tomorrow or Friday since it’s the Thanksgiving weekend, so I guess this will have to wait until Monday. Probably better that way anyway, since more people will be back in town to hear about it if the media covers the story on Monday.

Until next time,
Joe the Veep
