Tuesday, January 20th 6:30am Dear Diary, Can’t believe today is the big day! I can’t pretend that I’m not sad it’s not me taking the oath for the presidential office. But in a way, I’m relieved to know that the weight of the world is more prominently placed on Barack’s shoulders. And I’m always glad to finally have someone in the White House who can hopefully affect some positive change for us all. Slip-up on the part of Jill yesterday on the Oprah show… Oops. Sorta had to just smile and move on when she made that comment about how I was offered both the Vice-Presidency and the office of the Secretary of State. Sure it was true, but it didn’t look so good for Hillary to get my rejected position. Oh well. At least I got first pick. And now everyone knows that. In truth, I know I would have been good at being the Secretary of State as well. And most people now that, especially with my work on the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations. But Jill and I agreed it was best to take on the role of Vice President. And so here I am. And at least this way, I get a day in the spotlight. Until next time, Joe the Veep
