How often will President Obama have to repair the policy statements of Vice President Joe Biden (“Cleaning Up After Joe,” Editorial, July 8)?
If it ever crosses Obama’s mind to replace Biden in order to avoid an international humiliation, he should remember that Biden himself stated that Hillary Clinton would have been a better choice for vice president.
This was a rare moment of clarity for Biden.

Biden correctly announced that his administration “misread” the economy, which is why the stimulus failed to stimulate.
Obama, however, corrected his vice president by, once again, laying blame on the Bush administration in stating that the Obama folks were grossly “misinformed.”
It looks like, in this administration, the buck stopped with the last one.

You may dislike cleaning up after Biden, but I dislike even more having to clean up after Obama.
If Israel does not have our permission to attack Iranian nuclear facilities, then what do they have from us?
Obama thinks he has to save the entire Mideast rather than focus on saving our one close ally there.

How long will it be until Obama asks Biden to step down?
In typical Obama style, he will probably do this while telling the public: “This is not the Joe Biden I knew.”
