Here's to Joe Biden. He's emerged as President Obama's best emissary and negotiator during both the fiscal cliff talks and now in discussions on gun violence. Perhaps this development is a sign that the President will use the executive branch more in his second term rather than defer to our hapless Congress.
With the American folk song "Old Joe Clark" as our guide, we salute the Vice President (and hope that he continues to take charge--rather than the Congressional leaders who've gotten us nowhere):
Joe Biden he made a deal
With the other side,
Stepped into a big old mess
Of talks that had just died.
Hello Joe Biden
Good-bye Harry Reid,
Hello Joe Biden
It's time for you to lead.
Joe Biden he is our man
Taking on tough stuff,
Trying to enact a ban
'Cause we've had enough.
Hello Joe Biden
Good-bye Nancy P,
Hello Joe Biden
You now hold the key.
Joe Biden he listens well
Gets along with all,
Doesn't demonize his foes
Up and down the Mall.
Hello Joe Biden
Good-bye Mitch and John,
Hello Joe Biden
We're so glad you won.
