Is that it?? Is that your ammo to prove he's untrustworthy? Please tell me you have something more substantial than how he felt about being VP in 2007... I'd hate to think that a politician with that much mileage hasn't had a serious blowout or fluid leak you could choose instead.

And let us not forget the classic "Barack Obama is not ready to become president."

To be fair, let’s put this in some context. “I will not be vice president under any circumstances,” came when Biden was still a presidential candidate himself. You don’t concede interest in the No. 2 job when you’re still in the hunt for the No. 1 job. Most realize there’s a sort of ritual dance that goes on when politicians are put in the awkward spot of being asked if they want to be picked as a vice presidential running mate. Rare is the politician who says, “Heck yeah, I’ve even lobbied for it.” That smells of desperation and seems a recipe for future embarrassment. More often, potential vice presidential short-listers demur, or say the question is too hypothetical or that it’s just plain moot because they aren’t going to be asked anyway. Some avoid the query altogether, saying it’s a question for the presidential candidate. And then there’s Biden’s route, the I’m-not-interested route. Never mind that few actually believed him – we all know the drill.

He was kind of running for the Presidential nomination back then, and was answering critics who thought he was more fitting for a VP position. But really, trying to argue VP picks when you have a seasoned politician and a ditz who doesn't know at a VP does?

I would have to say he cant be trusted.Fact is even though at the time running for the top spot.The VP is about as close as Joe Biden would ever get.He has tried to run before.As a rule.Saying I am not interested.Then taking it might be considered a small lie.Is a matter of opinion.

He can't be trusted. He is a puppet and a fool.
-
Maybe he changed his mind when Obama asked him to be VP because he thought that he might actually have a shot at being the Prez this way???
-
What, you've never changed your mind?
