Weird Uncle Joe Biden showed up to campaign for Barack Obama in Florida today, and man, was he on top of his weird uncle game. "I'm being a good Biden today," he said.

How good? Well first, it being Florida and really sunny, Uncle Joe wore his signature aviators to speak at rallies—a perfect look for a Biden-licious day.

He also talked about running for office...four years from now. At an unscheduled stop in Sarasota at old-timey restaurant Station 400, Uncle Joe was feeling good, hugging "aging groupies," as Los Angeles Times' Michael A. Memoli observed. One woman, after snagging a photo with the VP, said she couldn't wait to share the photo with her Republican brother. But why wait? In warm Uncle Joe fashion, he said he'd call the brother up right now. So he did, and the brother got talking about health care, and Joe really wanted to get into it but those darn aids pulled him back. “Look, I’m not trying to talk you into voting for me, I just wanted to say hi to you,” Biden told the brother. “And after it's all over, when your insurance rates go down, then you’ll vote for me in 2016.”

He said "whole load," hehe. Uncle Joe has been super frustrated by Republican statements recently and just wants to let it all out. So of course, to illustrate this, he uses a metaphor that the kid's table would snicker at: "As they say in my business," he told a rally, "I'm going to give you the whole load today."
