Joe Biden has been a very popular Vice President, from his often times humorous gaffes to his down to earth demeanor, the Vice President has always rated highly in the popularity polls. He has spawned requests for Reality TV shows in the past, and now it appears that the White House is tapping into the popularity of Joe by launching the Being Biden website. It features candid commentary by the Vice President on the topics of the day.





The first topic he weighed in on was gun regulation, taking a direct approach by discussing the use of firearms by sportsmen, and how they think about it. In it, you hear candid, and honest talk from the Vice President about his support of firearms ownership, but also how he supports responsibility and common sense in the ownership of firearms:

Now, some have taken this audio commentary as a forerunner to a full on TV show, and Fox News has declared the page to be a Reality TV show. Apparently Fox News does not comprehend what the word “Television” means. After all, they’ve been claiming to be news for years, so one might expect them to be confused about television.

This is actually nothing new, the President has for decades had regular topics they discussed over the radio. What is new here is the venue and who is giving the commentary. Now we have a popular Vice President giving his commentary over the internet, an audio blog as it were. By enabling the Vice President to be more vocal, this administration is giving a platform for what may be a 2016 Presidential bid by Joe Biden. After seeing how effective he has been as Vice President, a Joe Biden presidency after his third attempted run for it would be a remarkable, and interesting turn of events for a man who was written off in 1988.

So now the question becomes, what is Hillary’s position on being the second person on a Biden ticket?
