Obama doesn't need Joe Biden. Maybe at one time, the eastern seaboard, Northern California, and the upper rust belt needed the comfort of an Irish Democrat on the ticket. No more. The Democrat strategy of 1) packing the cities and 2) urban vs. suburban race war is now on the table. The obama democrat made not pretense to hide it. Obama has become the leader of the far left, dare we say communist, world. His aspirations are to be another Mandela. Stupid America trusted the minorities, in spite of all the warnings.
